You decide to implement an Azure Traffic Manager profile (AZ-900)

Updated on 01/03/2024

A company is planning on hosting an application on an Azure Virtual Machine. It needs to be ensured that the application hosted on the virtual machine is accessible from the Internet over HTTPS. You decide to implement an Azure Traffic Manager profile.

Would this satisfy the requirement?

A) Yes.
B) No.


Solution

Correct answer: B) No.
Implementing an Azure Traffic Manager profile won't directly enable HTTPS accessibility for an application hosted on an Azure Virtual Machine. Azure Traffic Manager is primarily used for distributing incoming traffic across multiple hosted endpoints (such as different Azure regions or instances) based on defined routing methods.
For enabling HTTPS accessibility to an application on an Azure Virtual Machine, you'll typically need to:
Configure HTTPS on the Virtual Machine: Install an SSL certificate on the VM and set up the necessary configurations to enable HTTPS.
Network Security Groups (NSG) and Firewall Settings: Ensure that the VM's network security groups and firewall settings allow incoming HTTPS traffic (port 443).
Application Configuration: Make sure the hosted application is properly configured to accept HTTPS requests.
Azure Load Balancer or Application Gateway: Consider using Azure Load Balancer or Application Gateway to manage incoming traffic and provide SSL termination for HTTPS requests before routing them to the VM.
While Azure Traffic Manager can enhance availability and responsiveness by routing incoming requests to the closest endpoint based on configured policies, it doesn't inherently handle protocol-specific configurations like enabling HTTPS for an application.
Therefore, the correct answer to your question would be:
No, implementing an Azure Traffic Manager profile alone would not satisfy the requirement for ensuring that the application hosted on the virtual machine is accessible from the Internet over HTTPS.
