Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question
You need to distribute incoming network traffic across multiple virtual machines in Azure. The solution must support TCP and UDP protocols at layer 4 of the OSI model. Which Azure service should you implement?
Azure Load Balancer operates at layer 4 of the OSI model and supports both TCP and UDP protocols for distributing network traffic across multiple virtual machines. It is ideal for scenarios that require high performance and low latency at the transport layer. The other options are not suitable: Azure Application Gateway operates at layer 7 and is designed for HTTP/HTTPS traffic with features like cookie-based session affinity and URL-based routing. Azure Traffic Manager is a DNS-based traffic load balancer, which doesn't distribute traffic at the transport layer but rather directs client requests based on DNS queries. Azure Front Door also operates at layer 7, providing global load balancing and web application acceleration but is not intended for layer 4 transport protocols.
