Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate AZ-500 Practice Question
Contoso hosts two internal web applications in separate Azure regions. The security team must expose them publicly using a single globally anycast endpoint that routes users to the nearest healthy region, applies OWASP Core Rule Set protections with custom rules, and keeps the web servers reachable only over private IP addresses by using Private Link. Which Azure service meets all requirements?
Azure Application Gateway v2 integrated with a global Azure Traffic Manager profile
Azure Load Balancer Standard combined with Azure DDoS Protection Standard
Azure CDN Standard endpoint secured by a Web Application Firewall policy
Azure Front Door Premium with an attached Web Application Firewall policy
Azure Front Door Premium provides a single global anycast IP address that automatically directs clients to the closest healthy backend region. The Premium tier integrates Azure Web Application Firewall managed rule sets based on the OWASP Core Rule Set and also allows custom WAF rules. In addition, Azure Front Door Premium supports Private Link origins, enabling the backend web applications to remain on private IP addresses without public exposure.
Azure Application Gateway is a regional service without a global anycast endpoint and does not yet offer generally available support for Private Link connections to its back-end origins. Azure Load Balancer operates at layer 4 and lacks WAF and Private Link origin capabilities. Azure CDN Standard can integrate with WAF but cannot connect to private backends through Private Link and does not give the same global anycast endpoint behavior. Therefore, Azure Front Door Premium with an attached WAF policy is the only option that satisfies all stated requirements.
