A logistics enterprise is designing a regional application architecture in the East US region. The system includes two distinct components:
1. A fleet of backend Virtual Machines (VMs) that ingest raw TCP telemetry from package scanners on port 5001. The VMs are currently assigned Basic SKU Public IP addresses.
2. A web management application that requires SSL/TLS termination and URL path-based routing (e.g., routing '/api/*' and '/static/*' to different backend pools).
The enterprise requires a load balancing design that satisfies all protocol and routing requirements while ensuring compatibility with Azure SKU constraints.
Which load balancing architecture should you design for this application?
- Upgrade the Public IP addresses of the backend VMs to Standard SKU, deploy an Azure Standard Load Balancer to distribute the TCP telemetry traffic, and deploy an Azure Application Gateway (v2) to manage the web management application traffic.Cevap
- BDeploy an Azure Standard Load Balancer to distribute the TCP telemetry traffic to the VMs using their existing Basic SKU Public IPs, and deploy an Azure Application Gateway (v2) to manage the web management application traffic.
- CUpgrade the Public IP addresses of the backend VMs to Standard SKU, deploy an Azure Standard Load Balancer to distribute the TCP telemetry traffic, and deploy an Azure Traffic Manager to manage the SSL/TLS termination and URL path-based routing for the web management application.
- DDeploy an Azure Standard Load Balancer to distribute the TCP telemetry traffic to the VMs using their existing Basic SKU Public IPs, and deploy an Azure Traffic Manager to manage the SSL/TLS termination and URL path-based routing for the web management application.
Cevap
Upgrade the Public IP addresses of the backend VMs to Standard SKU, deploy an Azure Standard Load Balancer to distribute the TCP telemetry traffic, and deploy an Azure Application Gateway (v2) to manage the web management application traffic.
The correct solution uses an Azure Standard Load Balancer for the Layer 4 TCP telemetry traffic and an Azure Application Gateway for the Layer 7 HTTPS web management traffic. To prevent validation errors, the Basic SKU Public IPs on the backend VMs must be upgraded to Standard SKU because Standard Load Balancers do not support backend VMs with Basic SKU IP configurations.

Azure load balancing selection based on protocol support and SKU compatibility rules.
