Azure Application Gateway is a web traffic load balancer that enables you to manage traffic to your web applications. It offers a variety of features to enhance the security, performance, and scalability of your applications.
Distributes incoming web traffic across multiple backend servers, ensuring high availability and responsiveness.
Protects your web applications from common web vulnerabilities and exploits, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting.
Handles the SSL/TLS encryption and decryption, offloading this computationally intensive task from your backend servers.
Ensures that requests from the same client are always directed to the same backend server, maintaining session state.
Routes traffic to different backend pools based on the URL of the request, enabling microservices architectures.
Continuously monitors the health of backend servers and routes traffic only to healthy instances.
Automatically scales the capacity of the Application Gateway based on traffic load, ensuring optimal performance.
Gracefully removes backend servers from service during maintenance or updates, preventing disruption to ongoing requests.
Provides custom error pages to users when backend errors occur, improving user experience.
