Microsoft Azure Architect Design (legacy) — Question 55

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

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The Azure Application Gateway is the best choice as it natively supports HTTPS, round robin routing, and SSL offloading. Azure Load Balancer does not support SSL offloading, while Azure Traffic Manager is focused on traffic routing rather than load balancing. Azure Internal Load Balancer (ILB) is also not suitable for SSL offloading and HTTPS capabilities.
