Correct Answer
Add a 'cache-lookup' policy in the inbound section and a 'cache-store' policy in the outbound section

Azure API Management has built-in response caching. Adding a cache-lookup policy in the inbound section checks the cache first. The cache-store policy in the outbound section stores the response for the defined duration (60 seconds). This transparently reduces backend calls without code changes.
This question evaluates your knowledge of Azure API Management — a core concept tested in Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate (AZ-204). Understanding Azure API Management is essential for designing scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud architectures. Mastery of this topic will help you answer scenario-based questions confidently on exam day.
You have published APIs through Azure API Management. A partner application is making too many requests and affecting other consumers. You need to limit the partner to 1,000 requests per hour without modifying backend code. What should you configure in APIM?
You have published an API through Azure API Management (APIM). You want to ensure that API consumers cannot make more than 100 calls per minute per subscription key to prevent abuse and protect the backend service. Which APIM policy should you configure?
Your backend services return responses in XML format, but your mobile application client requires JSON payloads.
