Question 380
A legitimate external partner repeatedly exceeds its fair share of API Management backend capacity with traffic bursts. Which gateway control throttles that caller?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Enforce caller-identified rate limits or quotas at APIM, return correct throttling responses and measure impact rather than relying on backend overload.
Incorrect Answers
JWT validation authenticates the partner, but does not limit the amount of traffic from that authenticated principal.
Restricting direct backend ingress prevents bypass, but an already authorized API Management caller can still overload upstream capacity.
Business authorization determines permissible operations, not fair per-client request or token consumption.
