Microsoft Azure Administrator — Question 94

You have five Azure virtual machines that run Windows Server 2016. The virtual machines are configured as web servers.

You have an Azure load balancer named LB1 that provides load balancing services for the virtual machines.

You need to ensure that visitors are serviced by the same web server for each request.

What should you configure?

Answer options

• A. Session persistence to Client IP and protocol
• B. Idle Time-out (minutes) to 20
• C. Session persistence to None
• D. Floating IP (direct server return) to Enabled

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, ensures that the load balancer maintains session persistence based on the client's IP address and protocol, directing requests from the same client to the same server. Option B does not address session consistency directly. Option C disables session persistence, which would not meet the requirement. Option D relates to a different configuration for handling return traffic and is not relevant to maintaining session consistency.
