A Chief Security Officer is looking for a solution that can provide increased scalability and flexibility for back-end infrastructure, allowing it to be updated and modified without disruption to services. The security architect would like the solution selected to reduce the back-end server resources and has highlighted that session persistence is not important for the applications running on the back-end servers. Which of the following would BEST meet the requirements?

  • A. Reverse proxy
  • B. Automated patch management
  • C. Snapshots
  • D. NIC teaming

Selected Answer: A
its the way to distribute load across different servers, at the same time you can remove from the cluster each server that you want to update.

why this is not NIC Teaming ? Any body with a better explanation

NIC Teaming combines the throughput of 2 or more network adapters to provide a higher speed than a single connection. This would help with increasing the speed, but the requirements between the CSO and architect were increase scalability, increase flexibility, allowed to make changes without service disruption, reduce back-end server resources, and session persistence being insignificant for the backend applications. Since increased speed is not a requirement, NIC Teaming would NOT be the correct answer.

The key word is "Back-end servers". That's what Reverse Proxies are used for. :)

They're looking for ways to provide increased scalability and flexibility for back-end infrastructure, not availability or fault tolerance. NIC Teaming does not provide increased scalability and flexibility.

Selected Answer: A
Based on the requirements provided, a Reverse Proxy would be the best choice to meet the objectives of both the Chief Security Officer and the security architect. Here's a breakdown of why each option may or may not suit your needs: A. Reverse Proxy: Increased Scalability: Reverse proxies can distribute incoming requests to various back-end servers, improving scalability and ensuring high availability. Flexibility for Updates: Since the reverse proxy handles client requests, backend servers can be taken down for maintenance or updates without causing service disruption. Reduced Server Resources: By caching content and offloading SSL termination, reverse proxies can reduce the load on back-end servers. Session Persistence Not Important: A reverse proxy can operate without needing to maintain session persistence, aligning with your requirement.

Selected Answer: C
The Answer Is Definitely "C" snapshots and here is my reasons . 1- increased scalability and flexibility 2-allowing it to be updated and modified without disruption to services 3-reduce the back-end server resources 4-session persistence is not important All this key words refer to Snapshots . Reverse proxies are typically implemented to help increase security, performance, and reliability, and the Q here is asking for the 4 things up as mentioned in the reasons , this is why the Answer A is not related to the Q in as much as The answer C witch is Snapshots that provide both Flexibility and scalability , and it will allow you to modified and update your data without disruption to the service . and it's very light so it will not build up to the back-end resources .

not to mention that Reverse proxy is dedicated solution by it self , so it will not be added to the Back-end server , and also reverse proxy is not configured to update or modify the data on the back-end server .

it's just another layer of security and to destitute the requests of the clients to the backend server , I like to look at it as a load balancer but with a firewall in it .

D is definitely wrong because NIC teaming provides better performance, load balancing, and redundancy between network cards so that is good for us but it doesn't give us all what we need in here the 4 keywords that the Q wanted in the first place , this is just give us the first part only which is increased in scalability and flexibility and I do believe that revers proxy would do a better job on this than a NIC teaming

Selected Answer: A
A reverse proxy would be the best solution to meet the requirements described. A reverse proxy sits between the clients and the back-end servers, handling client requests on behalf of the servers. It provides increased scalability and flexibility by allowing the back-end infrastructure to be updated and modified without disruption to services. The reverse proxy can distribute client requests across multiple back-end servers, reducing the resource load on individual servers. Since session persistence is not important for the applications running on the back-end servers, the reverse proxy can handle the requests in a load-balanced manner without the need for session affinity. This allows for better resource utilization and flexibility in managing the back-end infrastructure.

Selected Answer: A
A reverse proxy acts as an intermediary server between clients and back-end servers. It receives requests from clients, forwards those requests to the appropriate back-end servers, and then sends the responses back to the clients. Reverse proxies are often used for load balancing, security, and improving performance. 1. Increased scalability and flexibility: Reverse proxies can distribute client requests across multiple back-end servers, providing increased scalability. They also allow for easier modification and updating of the back-end infrastructure without disrupting services, as changes can be made to the back-end servers without affecting the clients directly. 2. Reduced back-end server resources: By distributing client requests across multiple back-end servers, a reverse proxy can balance the load, reducing the burden on individual back-end servers and optimizing resource utilization. 3. Session persistence not important: In some scenarios, session persistence is critical to maintain user state across requests. However, in this case, session persistence is explicitly stated as not important. This means the reverse proxy doesn't need to manage sticky sessions, further simplifying the setup.

Selected Answer: A
Explanation: Reverse proxy: A reverse proxy sits in front of web servers and forwards client requests to the appropriate back-end servers. It can offload tasks such as SSL termination, caching, and load balancing from the back-end servers, reducing their workload and resource utilization. Additionally, reverse proxies can distribute traffic among multiple back-end servers, improving scalability and flexibility. Since session persistence is not important for the applications running on the back-end servers, the reverse proxy can distribute requests dynamically without needing to maintain session state, further reducing the burden on individual servers.

For anybody that knows Azure, by implementing an Application Gateway / WAF (reverse proxy), you can add /remove your backend servers (targets) into / out of your backend pool without disrupting your services. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/application-gateway/overview
