Microsoft Azure Architect Design (legacy) — Question 19

You need to recommend a solution for the network configuration of the front-end tier of the payment processing.
What should you include in the recommendation?

Answer options

• A. Azure Application Gateway
• B. Traffic Manager
• C. a Standard Load Balancer
• D. a Basic load Balancer

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Standard Load Balancer is the correct choice because it provides high availability and scalability for front-end applications, ensuring efficient distribution of incoming traffic. The Azure Application Gateway is more suited for application-level routing and security, while Traffic Manager is focused on DNS-based traffic distribution. The Basic Load Balancer offers limited features compared to the Standard version and is not recommended for production environments.
