Load Balancer in front of Application Gateway, port steering
Hi, I have both HTTP(S) and non-HTTP(S) traffic going into a VM. I would like to have a WAF for the HTTP(S) so I have created an Application Gateway and connected it with the VM which works well. Ho...
I have seen many people put a load balancer as a backend pool for application gateway, but never saw the opposite. In the first place, application gateway can only handle HTTP/S traffic only, so using it for anything else will not work.
I don't see a good reason to put the application gateway behind a load balancer. Better option will be to create a backend pool in your load balancer and put the VMs in the AppGw backend in that pool, not the AppGw. Of course, you will have different IPs for the HTTP and non HTTP traffic this way but it should work.
