NSE 7 – Public Cloud Security 6.4 — Question 1

When an organization deploys a FortiGate-VM in a high availability (HA) (active/active) architecture in Microsoft Azure, they need to determine the default timeout values of the load balancer probes.
In the event of failure, how long will Azure take to mark a FortiGate-VM as unhealthy, considering the default timeout values?

Answer options

• A. Less than 10 seconds
• B. 30 seconds
• C. 20 seconds
• D. 16 seconds

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because Azure's default timeout settings for load balancer probes are designed to quickly identify unhealthy instances, typically marking them as such in under 10 seconds. The other options are incorrect as they exceed the default timeout thresholds set by Azure for marking a VM as unhealthy.
