Hey community, It's been a while since I've been working on configuration of a complex network architecture in Microsoft Azure for a multi-tier application. I've successfully set up virtual networks, subnets, and security groups, but I'm encountering challenges in establishing efficient communication between different tiers and ensuring optimal traffic flow. Specifically, I'm interested in best practices for implementing Network Security Groups (NSGs) and effective routing strategies. Additionally, insights on leveraging Azure Load Balancers to enhance the scalability and resilience of my application would be greatly appreciated. If anyone has experience with similar configurations or can offer advice on optimizing Azure networking for multi-tier applications, I'd be grateful for your expertise. Thank you!

samesite cookie update in Azure Web App
I had a working solution where I was calling the Azure web app API as per the below code. private getResult(deferred: any, url: string): any { SP.SOD.executeOrDelayUntilEventNotified(token => { this.$http.get(url, { headers: { "Authorization": `Bearer ${token}`} }) .then(result => { var data = JSON.parse(result.data["value"]); deferred.resolve(data); }, error => { deferred.reject(error); }); }, Constants.Events.BackendLogin); } Due to update in browsers for the SameSite by default cookies, my solution has stopped working. SP.SOD.executeOrDelayUntilEventNotified(token => { } This piece of code used to return the token which was being used in the headers while calling the http.get API call. Now after this same site cookie update the SP.SOD.executeOrDelayUntilEventNotified is not firing and we are not able to get the token. Do I need to change the code from my end to get the token or is there any configuration change required in the Azure web app?Announcing the availability of enabling Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials’ integration of Microsoft online services in environments with multiple domain controllers
