InboundOutboundBackend

Correct arrangement

  • Inbound
  • Outbound
  • Inbound

Explanation

Inbound policies process requests before they reach the backend, making them ideal for 'supporting alternative input parameters' (e.g., query parameter rewriting) and 'providing additional context to back-end services' (e.g., setting headers). Outbound policies process responses before they are returned to the caller, making them the correct choice for 'removing formatting text from responses' since this transformation happens on the data flowing back to the client.
