ApplicationGateway


Resource Icon​

Resource Overview​

Application Gateway is an Azure-managed load balancer that performs Layer 7 (application layer) load balancing and routing in front of web applications based on HTTP/HTTPS traffic.
It provides enhanced security and scalability for web services through path-based routing, SSL termination, and integration with WAF.
