Designing and Implementing Microsoft Azure Networking Solutions — Question 36

You have an Azure Front Door instance named FD that contains an origin group named OG1.

You need to configure a health probe for OG1. The solution must minimize the amount of traffic generated by the health probe.

Which HTTP method should you use?

Answer options

• A. CONNECT
• B. HEAD
• C. TRACE
• D. GET

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The HEAD method is the best choice as it retrieves the headers from the server without transferring the entire body of the response, thus minimizing traffic. The GET method retrieves the full response body, which is unnecessary for health checks. CONNECT is used for establishing a tunnel and TRACE is for diagnostic purposes, neither of which are suitable for health probes.
