Question

Drag and Drop Question You have an application that provides weather forecasting data to external partners. You use Azure API Management to publish APIs. You must change the behavior of the API to meet the following requirements: - Support alternative input parameters - Remove formatting text from responses - Provide additional context to back-end services Which types of policies should you implement? To answer, drag the policy types to the correct scenarios. Each policy type may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Answer:

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., rewriting or transforming request parameters) and 'providing additional context to back-end services' (e.g., setting headers or query strings before forwarding). Outbound policies process responses after the backend returns data, making them correct for 'removing formatting text from responses' since they transform the response before it reaches the client. Backend policies are used to control how API Management calls the backend service itself (e.g., circuit breaking, retries), which does not apply to any of the three scenarios described.
