Microsoft Azure Architect Design (legacy) — Question 60

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 correct choice because it supports HTTPS, round robin routing, and SSL offloading, making it ideal for secure traffic distribution. The Azure Load Balancer does not provide SSL offloading, Azure Traffic Manager is used for DNS-based traffic routing rather than load balancing, and Azure Internal Load Balancer (ILB) is focused on internal traffic without the required security features.
