Your secure, scalable web traffic manager
Azure Application Gateway is a web traffic load balancer that enables you to manage traffic to your web applications. It provides a managed, highly available application delivery controller (ADC) as a service.
Application Gateway can route traffic based on various attributes of an incoming request, such as the request URL path or host header. For example, you can route traffic based on the incoming request URL to ensure it's directed to the appropriate web server.
Offload CPU-intensive SSL decryption/encryption to the gateway.
Protect your web applications from common vulnerabilities and exploits like SQL injection and cross-site scripting.
Ensure that traffic from a particular user is consistently directed to the same backend server.
Route traffic to specific backend pools based on the URL of the request.
Route traffic to different backend pools based on the hostname in the request's Host header.
Modify request and response headers and URL paths to optimize delivery and security.
