Microsoft Azure Application Gateway (AGW) is a service used to manage web traffic on your web application. It resembles a heap balancer for web traffic. Application Gateway settles on directing choices given the URI way or host headers which are added as extra data connected in HTTP demands. Customarily load balancer courses web traffic in light of source IP address to objective location, and it works at transport layers like OSI layer 4 of TCP or UDP. Application entryway utilizes data from HTTP demands; it can course traffic in light of the URLs to its particular arrangement of servers like/pictures to picture pool server or recordings to video pool.
Azure Application Gateway manages web traffic across one or more web applications because it acts as a load balancer enable to manage traffic across web applications. The application gateway works in two parts:
Before learning how to create Azure Application Gateway, users must have an Azure subscription so that they can log in to the Azure Portal with a valid certificate.
Step #1
Use a valid credential to Login into the Azure Portal :
Step #2
Click Create a resource and a new window will appear:
Step #3
From the Azure Marketplace, select Networking, and then select Application Gateway:
Step #4
Now from the Create Application Gateway page, select the Basics tab and enter the details.
Step #5
Enter the project description by selecting the subscription and resource group.
Enter the application gateway name, region, level, SKU size and create a new virtual network by clicking Create new, enter instance details and click OK.
Step #6
Click the Frontend tab and select the Frontend IP address type:
Step #7
To create a new public IP address click Add new and enter the name or IP address and select SKU and Assignment and click OK:
Step #8
Select the Next: Backend from the page:
Step #9
Select add a backend pool from the Backend tab:
Step #10

Step #11
Now to add new configuration details, select Next: Configuration>:
Step #12
In the Configuration tab, select Frontend, Routing Rules, and Backend Pool:
Step #13
Select a routing rule from the created application gateway and add the routing rule details to the Listener tab:
In the Backend Target tab
Step #14
Now select Next: Tag and then Next: Review + Create for Verification and enter the detailed review and then click Create to create a new application gateway.
Step #15
A new application gateway will be created as a map gateway. Here users can add new virtual machines, backend pools and users can clear resources.
Azure Application Gateway is a service offered under Microsoft Azure that helps manage user-directed traffic to web applications. Also, it has autoscaling features that help with installation and is more secure as it integrates with Azure.
