Creating a new application gateway

Azure Application Gateway can be used as a simple load balancer to perform traffic distribution from frontend to backend based on protocols and ports. But it can also expand on that and perform additional routing based on URLs and paths. This allows us to have resource pools based on roles and also allows us to optimize for specific performance. Using these options and performing routing based on context will increase application performance, along with high availability. Of course, in this case, we need to have multiple resources for each performance type in each backend pool (each performance type requests a separate backend pool).
