AZ-305 · Question 44 · Domain 4.2: Application Architecture

You are exposing several backend REST APIs to external developers using Azure API Management. You need to protect the backend services from being overwhelmed by too many requests from a single developer. You also want to remove the 'X-Powered-By' header from the HTTP responses before they reach the client. What should you configure in API Management?

Answer options:

A.

Inbound and Outbound policies.

B.

Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF).

C.

API Revisions.

D.

Backend settings.

How to approach this question

Identify the API Management feature used to modify requests and responses.

Full Answer

A.Inbound and Outbound policies.✓ Correct
Azure API Management policies are a powerful capability that allows the publisher to change the behavior of the API through configuration. Rate limiting is applied in the inbound processing, and header removal is applied in the outbound processing.

Common mistakes

Thinking WAF is required for rate limiting, missing the native API Management policy capabilities.
