AZ-305 · Question 35 · Domain 3.2: High Availability
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.
Which global load balancing solution should you recommend?

Which global load balancing solution should you recommend?
Answer options:
A.
Azure Traffic Manager
B.
Azure Application Gateway
C.
Azure Front Door
D.
Azure Load Balancer
How to approach this question
Identify the need for Global + Layer 7 (HTTP/HTTPS) + WAF + Caching. Front Door is the only service that does all four.
Full Answer
C.Azure Front Door✓ Correct
Azure Front Door
Azure Front Door is a global, Layer 7 load balancer and Content Delivery Network (CDN). Because it operates at Layer 7, it can terminate SSL/TLS connections at Microsoft's global edge network. It natively integrates with Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) to protect against OWASP vulnerabilities, caches static content at the edge, and uses anycast routing to send users to the fastest available region.
Common mistakes
Choosing Traffic Manager. While Traffic Manager is global, it operates at the DNS level and cannot inspect traffic, terminate SSL, or provide WAF.
