  1. What is the primary benefit of enabling SSL offloading on Azure Application Gateway?

    Answer: Terminating SSL/TLS at the gateway to reduce backend server CPU overhead

    SSL offloading terminates the SSL/TLS connection at the Application Gateway, allowing backend servers to handle unencrypted HTTP traffic and reducing their computational load.

  2. What does end-to-end SSL mean in the context of Azure Application Gateway?

    Answer: Traffic is encrypted from the client through the gateway to the backend servers

    End-to-end SSL maintains encrypted HTTPS communication from client to Application Gateway, and the gateway re-encrypts traffic before sending it to backend servers.

  3. Which Application Gateway feature allows you to add, remove, or modify HTTP request and response headers as traffic passes through?

    Answer: Rewrite rules

    Rewrite rules allow modification of HTTP request and response headers, as well as URL paths, as traffic flows through Application Gateway.

  4. What is the function of a multi-site listener in Azure Application Gateway?

    Answer: Routing traffic from multiple hostnames through a single gateway instance

    Multi-site listeners enable hosting multiple web applications on the same Application Gateway by routing based on the host header in HTTP requests.

  5. When you configure a URL redirect rule in Application Gateway, what does the gateway send to the client?

    Answer: An HTTP redirect response instructing the browser to navigate to a different URL

    URL redirect sends an HTTP 301 or 302 redirect response to the client, instructing the browser to request a different URL.

  6. Which Application Gateway feature allows you to display branded HTML pages instead of default error responses for 403 and 502 status codes?

    Answer: Custom error pages

    Application Gateway supports custom error pages for HTTP 403 (WAF block) and 502 (bad gateway) responses, enabling a branded error experience.

  7. Which backend member type is supported by Azure Application Gateway backend pools?

    Answer: Virtual machines and VM scale set instances

    Application Gateway backend pools support virtual machines, VM scale sets, App Service web apps, and on-premises servers accessible via IP or FQDN.
