Question #: 24
Topic #: 1

You are designing an Azure solution.
The solution must meet the following requirements:
✑ Distribute traffic to different pools of dedicated virtual machines (VMs) based on rules.
✑ Provide SSL offloading capabilities.
You need to recommend a solution to distribute network traffic.
Which technology should you recommend?

A. Azure Application Gateway
B. Azure Load Balancer
C. Azure Traffic Manager
D. server-level firewall rules

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
If you require "SSL offloading", application layer treatment, or wish to delegate certificate management to Azure, you should use Azure's layer 7 load balancer
Application Gateway instead of the Load Balanacer.
Incorrect Answers:
D: Because Load Balancer is agnostic to the TCP payload and TLS offload ("SSL") is not provided.

Azure front door also supports SSL offloading I think. As this option is not existing in the given options, the answer should be Application Gateway only

Azure front door is applicable for multi-region. Here there is nothing explicitly multi-region
