Question 1

A global e-commerce company hosts its web application in three Azure regions: US East, Europe West, and Asia East.

The architecture must meet the following requirements:
- Route users to the closest region to minimize latency.
- Provide SSL/TLS termination at the edge.
- Protect the application against OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities (e.g., SQL injection, cross-site scripting).
- Cache static content at the edge.
