Correct answer: Azure Front Door.
Why this is the answer
Azure Front Door is a global, scalable entry point that uses the Microsoft global edge network to create fast, secure, and widely scalable web applications. It provides Layer 7 (HTTP/HTTPS) load balancing, URL-based routing, caching, and Web Application Firewall (WAF) capabilities, making it ideal for routing HTTP traffic to various backend services across different Azure regions. Azure Load Balancer operates at Layer 4 (TCP/UDP) and distributes traffic within a single Azure region. Azure Traffic Manager is a DNS-based traffic router that directs users to the most appropriate service endpoint based on various routing methods, but it operates at the DNS level, not directly routing HTTP traffic at Layer 7. Azure Bastion provides secure and seamless RDP/SSH connectivity to your virtual machines directly through the Azure portal, not for routing public HTTP traffic.
