Overview of this book

Microsoft provides organizations with an effective way of managing their network with Azure's networking services. No matter the size of your organization, Azure provides a way to highly reliable performance and secure connectivity with its networking services. The book starts with an introduction to the Azure networking like creating Azure virtual networks, designing address spaces and subnets. Then you will learn to create and manage network security groups, application security groups, and IP addresses in Azure. Gradually, we move on to various aspects like S2S, P2S, and Vnet2Vnet connections, DNS and routing, load balancers and traffic manager. This book will cover every aspect and function required to deliver practical recipes to help readers learn from basic cloud networking practices to planning, implementing, and securing their infrastructure network with Azure. Readers will not only be able to upscale their current environment but will also learn to monitor, diagnose, and ensure secure connectivity. After learning to deliver a robust environment readers will also gain meaningful insights from recipes on best practices. By the end of this book, readers will gain hands-on experience in providing cost-effective solutions that benefit organizations.

Creating a new application gateway

Azure Application Gateway can be used as a simple load balancer to perform traffic distribution from frontend to backend based on protocols and ports. But it can also expand on that and perform additional routing based on URLs and paths. This allows us to have resource pools based on roles and also allows us to optimize for specific performance. Using these options and performing routing based on context will increase application performance, along with high availability. Of course, in this case, we need to have multiple resources for each performance type in each backend pool (each performance type requests a separate backend pool).
