Use Cases and Deployment Scope

This is a good choice we have made for the new suite of cloud applications which has modern architecture and is highly available. Azure Application Gateway is used as a reverse proxy for multiple web resources. This enables us to load balance and route traffic to appropriate web services and various web resources.

Pros

Easy to set up routing rules
Redundancy with multiple Azure zones and regions
Ease provisioning with scripts and APIs

Cons

Live examples in the Azure documentation
Application Gateway UI Blade in Azure Portal can be streamlined
Have more advanced feature set as WAF (Web Application Firewall)

Likelihood to Recommend

It's an appropriate solution for Azure Cloud and integrates well with AKS - Azure Kubernetes Service. This in turn makes the default solution for any modern containerized and Kubernetes Orchestrated application. The good support for SSL/TLS and integration with Azure Key Vault makes it useful to comply with security guidelines.

Efficient Load Balancer

Rating: 8 out of 10

Incentivized

January 17, 2020

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Azure Application Gateway gives you application-level routing and load-balancing services that let you build a scalable and highly-available web front end in Azure.

Pros

Easy integration with Load Balancer and Azure Scale Set to provide a full solution for traffic management.
With rich routing rule, we could use one Application Gateway as the central point for all internal applications to expose to the external network.

Cons

The ease of setting up a connection to the on-premises sql server to any of the Azure cloud data solutions. One can easily stand up new virtual machines and then create a separate Application Gateway to work with each of the Azure solutions like Azure Data factory or Azure Machine Learning.
Also, we can schedule the jobs to be run at a particular time and also on-demand so we would always have the data whenever we will need it.

Likelihood to Recommend

The following are the few features that I like the most about Azure Application Gateway:

- Easy to use, configure, and implement.

The following are the few features I like the least about this product:
