Microsoft Azure Architect Design (legacy) — Question 54
You are designing an Azure solution.
The network traffic for the solution must be securely distributed by providing the following features:
✑ HTTPS protocol
✑ Round robin routing
✑ SSL offloading
You need to recommend a load balancing option.
What should you recommend?
Answer options
- A. Azure Load Balancer
- B. Azure Traffic Manager
- C. Azure Internal Load Balancer (ILB)
- D. Azure Application Gateway
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct choice is Azure Application Gateway because it supports HTTPS, round robin routing, and SSL offloading, making it ideal for secure web applications. Azure Load Balancer does not provide SSL offloading, Azure Traffic Manager is primarily for DNS-based traffic routing, and Azure Internal Load Balancer is used for internal traffic without the necessary features for secure web traffic.
