Streamline Traffic Management with Azure Application Gateway's Same Port Number Support
I'm thrilled to share that Azure Application Gateway now supports configuring the same port number for public and private listeners in preview. This update brings a significant enhancement to the way we handle traffic for both internet-facing and internal clients.
Gone are the days of using non-standard ports or customizing the backend application. With this new provision, you can simplify your deployment by using a single Application Gateway deployment. This means easier configuration and improved efficiency.
Imagine having a central entry point and load balancer for your application that can seamlessly serve traffic from both the internet and your private network. That's exactly what Azure Application Gateway enables you to achieve.
The architecture allows you to consolidate your deployment and effortlessly distribute traffic among backend resources, such as virtual machines or other backend services. The Application Gateway intelligently directs requests based on load-balancing rules, ensuring optimal performance.
The best part? You can accomplish all of this while using the same port number for public and private listeners. It's a game-changer for managing your application traffic and simplifying your infrastructure.
If you're an Azure user and haven't explored Azure Application Gateway yet, now is the perfect time to dive in and take advantage of this exciting feature. Start maximizing your efficiency and delivering a seamless experience to your clients.
Configuring Azure Application Gateway Private Link for Secure Workload Connections
?? I'm excited to share my latest article on LinkedIn, where I delve into the configuration options and step-by-step process for setting up Azure Application Gateway Private Link.
?? In today's interconnected world, securing your workloads and enabling private connections across virtual networks and subscriptions is of paramount importance. That's where Azure Application Gateway Private Link comes into play. With this powerful feature, you can establish private connections, allowing your workloads to communicate securely.
?? One crucial aspect of configuring Private Link is defining a separate subnet specifically for Private Link Configuration. I explain the importance of subnet sizing and guide you through the process of creating the required subnet to ensure optimal performance.
?? Next, I walk you through the steps to configure Private Link itself. From providing a name for the private link configuration to specifying the private link subnet and setting up the frontend IP configuration, you'll learn all the essential elements to enable private connections for your workloads.
?? Another critical step is configuring the Private Endpoint, which acts as the network interface for clients connecting to your Application Gateway. I cover resource group configuration, virtual network setup, and the selection of dynamic or static IP addressing to ensure secure communication.
Feel free to customize this LinkedIn post with your own insights and share it with your network to spread awareness about the benefits and implementation of Azure Application Gateway Private Link.
