Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question

To ensure that each user's requests are consistently handled by the same backend server, you should enable cookie-based affinity in the Application Gateway settings. Cookie-based affinity uses a gateway-managed cookie to keep a user session on the same backend server. This helps maintain session state and provides a consistent user experience.

Configuring URL path-based routing allows you to route traffic based on URL paths but does not help with directing users to the same backend server.

Enabling SSL offloading terminates the SSL connection at the gateway, reducing the load on backend servers, but doesn't address the session persistence issue.

Implementing Azure Traffic Manager is used for DNS-based traffic routing across multiple endpoints in different regions and is not suitable for maintaining session affinity within an Application Gateway.
