What do you like best about Azure Application Gateway?

Seamless integration with the Azure ecosystem is the premier feature of this service and on top of is the cost is not too much. It is also easy to integrate with modern deployment architectures like containers and Kubernetes. You can chain it with security and WAF solutions to improve the overall security of the deployment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Application Gateway?

There needs to be more training material available for the teams and engineers to learn more about this service. Enhanced documentation with live examples would also be an aid. At times its difficult to monitor the traffic in the gateway via Azure Monitor. Help guides should be provided to configure monitoring services Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Azure Application Gateway:

Its important to use IaaC solution to automate the provisioning of such cloud resources. Also, one should become familiar with the Azure web console and do a proper configuration of the gateway considering various scenarios like failover etc. The organization should have trained manpower, especially engineers with Azure Administration certifications to ensure proper configuration of this service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Application Gateway solving and how is that benefiting you?

Primarily we are using this solution to distribute the load between Kubernetes clusters for web applications and services. It is also being used to divert traffic in case of failure. this is a critical part of the infrastructure

It also helps to implement advanced deployment strategies such as canary deployments and rolling updates ensuring appropriate risk mitigation for new deployments. Security solutions like SSL certificate bindings and public private IP mapping is also achieved via this service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Take a course or go through Azure documentation to understand Azure Application Gateway, first practice it on your QA and staging environments and then start using it for production.

What do you like best about Azure Application Gateway?

Advanced capabilities of parsing and understanding a http request, basically operating at layer 4, 5 and 7 of OSI model and taking routing decisions on that.

What do you like best about Azure Application Gateway?

Azure Application Gateway(AGW) is a helpful tool for web traffic managers & it works similarly like AWS Application gateway wherein we can make routing decisions based on URI or host headers. e.g we can route traffic based on the incoming URL. If /images or /Videos are in the URL, we can route to the specific set of servers configured for Images or Videos. It can also be used for SSL/TLS temination as well. In some cases unencrypted communication to the servers is not acceptable because of security standards/compliance etc, In those scenarios AFW is helpful for end-to-end TLS/SSL encryption.

What do you like best about Azure Application Gateway?

Azure provides end to end life cycle. Starting from the development to automated deployment, you will find [a] bunch of options. Custom hook-points allow [integration] on-premise resources as well. Excellent documentation around all the services make it easy for any novice. Overall support by [the] community and Azure Technical team is exceptional.BOT Services, Computer Vision services, ML frameworks provide excellent results compared to similar services offered by other giants in the same space. Azure data services provide excellent support to ingest data from different sources, ETL, and data consumption for BI purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Application Gateway?

The reliability of hardware is low as [compared] to AWS. Sometimes processes of allocation, deallocation of resources take quite a long time without having any intimation. If the instances are costly, such delay in stopping incurs extra cost. The overall cost is much higher for ML and BI Services. Essential storage and compute cost is also a bit more as compared to AWS. Azure can surely do better with overall DevOps support. Cloud formation needs a lot more maturity and features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Application Gateway solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Microsoft Azure for cognitive services like natural language processing, computer vision, and machine learning for built-in open-[source] frameworks like Tensorflow, MXNet, Keras, etc. It is used based on customers' needs, as we are in the service industry. It helps with scaling, security, and reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
