Zorluk: OrtaApplication Load Balancing and Delivery

An organization is designing a regional web application hosted on Azure Virtual Machines in the West US region. The architecture must satisfy the following requirements:
- Provide URL path-based routing to direct traffic to different backend pools.
- Support SSL/TLS termination at the load balancer.
- Ensure that the backend virtual machines are not accessible from the public internet.
The existing virtual machines are currently configured with Basic SKU Public IP addresses.

Which load balancing configuration should you recommend to meet the requirements?

  1. Remove the Basic SKU Public IP addresses from the virtual machines and deploy Azure Application Gateway.Cevap
  2. B
    Associate the virtual machines using their existing Basic SKU Public IP addresses with a Standard SKU Azure Load Balancer.
  3. C
    Deploy Azure Traffic Manager to route incoming client traffic to the virtual machines based on the URL path.
  4. D
    Deploy Azure Front Door and configure it to route traffic directly to the private IP addresses of the virtual machines.

Cevap

Remove the Basic SKU Public IP addresses from the virtual machines and deploy Azure Application Gateway.
The correct option is to remove the Basic SKU Public IP addresses and deploy Azure Application Gateway. Azure Application Gateway is a regional Layer 7 load balancer that supports URL path-based routing and SSL/TLS termination. It interacts with the backend virtual machines using their private IP addresses, which allows the public IP addresses to be removed from the virtual machines, ensuring they are not directly exposed to the public internet.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the application requirements.
The requirements demand Layer 7 capabilities: URL path-based routing and SSL/TLS termination.
These capabilities are only available in application-layer load balancers, not Layer 4 load balancers.
2
Evaluate the regional and network security constraints.
The virtual machines must not be exposed to the public internet, and they currently use Basic SKU Public IP addresses.
By using a regional Layer 7 load balancer like Azure Application Gateway, the backend pools can be configured using private IP addresses. This allows for the removal of the Basic SKU Public IP addresses from the virtual machines, securing the backend.
3
Select the correct Azure service.
Azure Application Gateway is selected.
It natively provides SSL termination, URL path-routing, and runs within a virtual network to route traffic to private IP addresses.
