App Gateway

Azure Application Gateway is a layer 7 load balancer that manages web traffic by making routing decisions based on HTTP request attributes like URI path and host headers. It offers features such as URL-based routing and integrates with other Azure load-balancing solutions like Traffic Manager and Front Door for various needs. Security measures include DDoS protection, Bot manager rules, and private connectivity options to enhance application security.

Azure Application Gateway is a web traffic (OSI layer 7) load balancer that enables

you to manage traffic to your web applications. Traditional load balancers operate at
the transport layer (OSI layer 4 - TCP and UDP) and route traffic based on source IP
address and port, to a destination IP address and port.
Application Gateway can make routing decisions based on additional attributes of
an HTTP request, for example URI path or host headers. For example, you can route
traffic based on the incoming URL. So if /images is in the incoming URL, you can
route traffic to a specific set of servers (known as a pool) configured for images.
If /video is in the URL, that traffic is routed to another pool that's optimized for
videos.

This type of routing is known as application layer (OSI layer 7) load balancing. Azure
Application Gateway can do URL-based routing and more.
Note
Azure provides a suite of fully managed load-balancing solutions for your scenarios.
 If you're looking to do DNS based global routing and do not have
requirements for Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol termination ("SSL
offload"), per-HTTP/HTTPS request or application-layer processing,
review Traffic Manager.
 If you need to optimize global routing of your web traffic and optimize top-tier
end-user performance and reliability through quick global failover, see Front
Door.
 To do transport layer load balancing, review Load Balancer.
Your end-to-end scenarios may benefit from combining these solutions as needed.
For an Azure load-balancing options comparison, see Overview of load-balancing
options in Azure.

Security
 Protect your applications against L7 layer DDoS protection using WAF. For
more information, see Application DDoS protection.
 Protect your apps from malicious actors with Bot manager rules based on
Microsoft’s own Threat Intelligence.
 Secure applications against L3 and L4 DDoS attacks with Azure DDoS
Protection plan.
 Privately connect to your backend behind Application Gateway with Private
Link and embrace a zero-trust access model.
 Eliminate risk of data exfiltration and control privacy of communication from
within the virtual network with a fully Private-only Application Gateway
deployment.
 Provide a centralized security experience for your application via Azure Policy,
Azure Advisor, and Microsoft Sentinel integration that ensures consistent
security features across apps.
