Azure Application Gateway

Azure Application Gateway is a load balancing service that operates as a Layer 7 load balancer, which means it is capable of interrogating the source request and directing its destination based on a path. Splitting destinations by path is a common function for web-based load-balancing scenarios where resource delivery can be split into different pools and SKU types, which we learned about earlier in the chapter.

Azure Application Gateway is designed to balance the regional load of web-based services. One of the features of the service is the ability to enable WAF features that are designed to protect your web application workloads against exploits and vulnerabilities (such as a SQL injection attack). Another main benefit of the service is the ability to enable SSL offloading, which can improve the performance of your web services, as the strain is removed from them and is delivered by the application gateway directly.
