| Abstract | Modern cloud-native architectures demand intelligent traffic management and strong security at scale. Azure Application Gateway, Microsoft’s Layer 7 load balancer, provides a unified platform for routing, encryption, and protection of web traffic. With built-in features such as the Web Application Firewall (WAF), SSL termination, autoscaling, and path-based routing, it enables resilient and secure web application delivery. This paper explores key configuration methods, deployment models, and real-world scenarios that demonstrate how Application Gateway enhances availability, scalability, and performance. It also discusses automation strategies using Infrastructure as Code (IaC), integration with Azure services, and future trends involving AI-driven traffic optimization and cloud security automation. |
