AI-200 Event Driven Integration Practice Question
You are troubleshooting a connection issue where an on-premises worker application cannot connect to an Azure Event Hubs namespace over AMQP port 5671 due to strict corporate firewall rules. Only port 443 outbound traffic is allowed. How can you configure the client connection to bypass this restriction?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure the Event Hub client connection to use AMQP over WebSockets (port 443).
Azure Event Hubs and Service Bus client libraries support AMQP over WebSockets (port 443), allowing clients to tunnel AMQP traffic through HTTPS firewalls.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Deploy an Azure VPN Gateway on the local workstation.
Why it's wrong here
An enterprise VPN gateway is an over-engineered infrastructure solution when a simple client configuration change (WebSockets) solves the port issue.
- ✓
Configure the Event Hub client connection to use AMQP over WebSockets (port 443).
Why this is correct
AMQP over WebSockets encapsulates AMQP frames inside standard HTTPS (port 443) web socket traffic, bypassing strict outbound port blocks.
- ✗
Switch the connection string to use an Event Grid webhook protocol.
Why it's wrong here
Event Hubs producers/consumers require AMQP or Kafka protocols, not Event Grid webhooks.
- ✗
Open an Azure Support ticket to whitelist port 5671 on the Azure backbone router.
Why it's wrong here
Azure backbone routing is not the bottleneck; the corporate firewall is blocking outbound 5671.
