Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate AZ-500 Practice Question
Your company hosts a mission-critical e-commerce site on Azure VMs behind a Standard SKU public load balancer in a virtual network named prod-vnet. A 300-Gbps UDP flood previously forced the service offline. Management requires a solution that will automatically mitigate similar Layer 3/4 attacks, provide a financial guarantee and Rapid Response support, and surface near real-time mitigation metrics in Azure Monitor. What should you do?
Enable Azure DDoS Protection Standard on prod-vnet and associate it with the existing public IP addresses.
Rely on the built-in Azure DDoS Protection Basic and create Azure Monitor alert rules on network throughput.
Replace the load balancer with Azure Front Door Standard and enable a WAF policy.
Deploy an Azure Application Gateway v2 with Web Application Firewall in front of the load balancer.
Azure DDoS Protection Standard is designed to protect public IP addresses that are deployed in a virtual network. When enabled on prod-vnet, it automatically tunes mitigation policies for each protected resource, blocks volumetric Layer 3/4 attacks such as UDP floods, and exposes near real-time mitigation metrics through Azure Monitor. The service also includes the DDoS Rapid Response team and a cost-protection SLA that credits scale-out charges incurred during a confirmed attack. Application Gateway, Front Door, or the always-on Basic protection lack the combination of Rapid Response engagement, cost guarantee, and detailed mitigation telemetry required by management.
