Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question
You are an Azure administrator for Contoso Ltd. The company has a web application that is accessed by users over the internet. You are asked to ensure that incoming internet traffic is evenly distributed across multiple web servers, providing high availability for the application. The web servers are hosted in a virtual network and are not directly accessible from the internet. You need to configure the environment to allow users over the internet to access the web application while meeting these requirements. What should you do?
Deploy Azure Application Gateway to manage traffic distribution to the web servers.
Assign internet-facing addresses to the web servers and configure round-robin DNS to distribute traffic.
Set up an Azure Public Load Balancer to distribute internet traffic to the web servers.
Create an Azure Internal Load Balancer and associate it with the web servers.
Setting up an Azure Public Load Balancer allows you to distribute incoming internet traffic evenly across the web servers in the backend pool. It provides a single public-facing endpoint without exposing the individual web servers directly to the internet, enhancing security. An Internal Load Balancer is designed for internal traffic within a virtual network or from on-premises networks, not for internet-facing applications. Assigning internet-facing addresses to each web server and using round-robin DNS is less secure, does not provide health monitoring, and lacks efficient load balancing features. Deploying an Azure Application Gateway is a valid option but includes additional features like web application firewall and SSL termination, which may not be necessary in this scenario and could introduce unnecessary complexity and cost.
