Full question →easymultiple choiceObjective-mapped
You are deploying a containerized application to Azure Container Instances. The application requires a custom domain name and SSL/TLS termination. You need to configure these features. Which resource should you create alongside the container group?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.
A
Distractor review
Azure Front Door
Azure Front Door is a global load balancer and application delivery controller, but for a single container group with SSL termination, Azure Application Gateway is more appropriate and less complex.
B
Best answer
Azure Application Gateway
Azure Application Gateway can terminate SSL, route traffic based on host names, and assign a custom domain to the container group.
C
Distractor review
Azure Container Registry
Azure Container Registry stores container images; it does not provide custom domain or SSL termination for running containers.
D
Distractor review
Azure DNS zone
Azure DNS zone only manages DNS records; it does not terminate SSL or route traffic to containers.
Common exam trap
Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic
NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.
Technical deep dive
How to think about this question
NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
- PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
- Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
- NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.
TExam Day Tips
- Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
- Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
- Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.

FAQ
Questions learners often ask
What does this AZ-204 question test?
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
What is the correct answer to this question?
The correct answer is: Azure Application Gateway — Azure Application Gateway provides layer-7 load balancing, SSL termination, and custom domain support. Azure Front Door is a global load balancer but not required for simple SSL termination. Azure Container Registry stores container images. Azure DNS only resolves names. Therefore, Application Gateway is the correct choice.
