Azure Application Gateway serves as a web traffic load balancer, allowing you to efficiently handle traffic for your web applications. This Terraform module is designed for the rapid creation of an Application Gateway that includes various customizable features.
The Terraform module for Azure Application Gateway is versatile and adaptable, accommodating various deployment scenarios. These scenarios dictate distinct input requirements. Here's an overview of the supported scenarios, each offering a unique configuration:
Each of these scenarios has its own set of input requirements, which can be tailored to meet your specific use case. The module provides the flexibility to deploy Azure Application Gateways for a wide range of applications and security needs.
Simple HTTP Application Gateway This scenario sets up a straightforward HTTP Application Gateway, typically for basic web applications or services.
Self-Signed SSL with Redirection (HTTP to HTTPS) In this scenario, self-signed SSL certificates are utilized to secure traffic, with automatic redirection from HTTP to HTTPS. You'll need to configure SSL certificates and redirection rules.
SSL with Azure Key Vault For enhanced security, SSL certificates are managed using Azure Key Vault. This scenario involves setting up Key Vault and integrating it with the Application Gateway. Detailed configuration for Key Vault and SSL certificates is necessary.
Web Application Firewall (WAF) A Web Application Firewall is employed to enhance security by inspecting and filtering traffic. Configuration entails defining custom rules and policies to protect against common web application vulnerabilities.
