You need to implement a solution that provides load balancing at the application layer (OSI Layer 7) for your web applications hosted in Azure. Which Azure service should you choose?
Azure Traffic Manager
Azure Network Security Group
Azure Load Balancer
Azure Application Gateway
Azure Application Gateway operates at the application layer (OSI Layer 7) and can make routing decisions based on attributes such as URL path and host headers. This makes it suitable for web applications that require advanced traffic routing. Azure Load Balancer operates at the transport layer (OSI Layer 4) and distributes traffic based on IP address and port, without insight into the HTTP protocol. Azure Traffic Manager is a DNS-based traffic load balancer that directs client requests to the most appropriate endpoint, but it doesn't provide application-layer load balancing. Azure Network Security Group is used to filter network traffic and doesn't provide load balancing functionality. Therefore, Azure Application Gateway is the correct choice for application-layer load balancing.
