# AZ-303 — Question 605

**Type:** multiple_choice
**Topics:** topic_1

## Question

You are designing an Azure solution.
The solution must meet the following requirements:
✑ Distribute traffic to different pools of dedicated virtual machines (VMs) based on rules.
✑ Provide SSL offloading capabilities.
You need to recommend a solution to distribute network traffic.
Which technology should you recommend?

## Correct Answer

_See scenario._

## Explanation

If you require "SSL offloading", application layer treatment, or wish to delegate certificate management to Azure, you should use Azure's layer 7 load balancer
Application Gateway instead of the Load Balanacer.
Incorrect Answers:
D: Because Load Balancer is agnostic to the TCP payload and TLS offload ("SSL") is not provided.
