Microsoft AZ-204 Exam - Topic 3 Question 114 Discussion

Actual exam question for Microsoft's AZ-204 exam

Question #: 114
Topic #: 3

You have an Azure API Management (APIM) Standard tier instance named APIM1 that uses a managed gateway.

You plan to use APIM1 to publish an API named API1 that uses a backend database that supports only a limited volume of requests per minute. You also need a policy for AP11 that will minimize the possibility that the number of requests to the backend database from an individual IP address you specify exceeds the supported limit.

You need to identify a policy for API1 that will meet the requirements.

Which policy should you use?

Aquota-by-key

Brate-limit

Cip-fitter

Surprised that ip-fitter isn't an option here, it sounds useful!

Isn't rate-limit better for controlling individual IPs?

I feel like quota-by-key could also work, but it seems more focused on total requests over a longer period rather than per minute.

I practiced a similar question where we had to limit requests based on IP, and I think it was about using rate-limit-by-key.

I think the rate-limit policy might be the right choice since it controls the number of requests per second, but I need to double-check the specifics.

I remember studying the difference between rate limiting and quotas, but I'm not sure which one applies here.

I'm pretty confident that the "quota-by-key" policy is the best option. It allows you to set a quota on the number of requests from a specific IP address, which should help prevent the backend database from being overwhelmed.

The "rate-limit-by-key" policy sounds like it might be the right choice here. It allows you to limit requests based on a specific key, which in this case could be the IP address.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the different policy options. I'll need to review the details of each one to determine which one best meets the requirement of limiting requests from a specific IP address.

This seems like a straightforward question about applying the right APIM policy to limit requests to a backend database. I think the key is to identify the policy that can limit requests based on the IP address.

This is a tough one, but I think D is the way to go. Gotta keep those greedy IP addresses in check, you know?

Haha, I bet the backend database just can't handle all the traffic from the 'I love APIs' fan club. Better limit those requests, am I right?

Wait, isn't the ip-filter policy the one that allows you to specify a list of allowed or denied IP addresses? That might be a better fit here.

I'm going with B. The rate-limit policy is designed to handle situations where you need to limit the number of requests, which is exactly what this question is asking for.
