What are the main differences between an Azure Load Balancer (Gateway) and an Azure Application Gateway? And in which scenarios would I use each of them? Thanks in advance.

Hi, glad to hear you like the content 😀 It's a good question you have and almost require a seperate video in itself to answer it properly. An Application Gateway works at layer 7 only for HTTP/S traffic. In practice it's very useful when it sits infront of websites/apps (HTTPS only). It has quite a lot of features to load balance and check the HTTPS traffic. An Azure Load Balancer works at layer 4 and isn't looking deeply into the traffic like a Layer 7 (Application Gateway) Load balancer. It's used mostly infront of Virtual Machines and can load balance any other type of traffic (not limited to HTTPS).

Thanks for the video, awesome presentation and super easy to understand. Also I really like the relaxing tone and just general way you explain this. Makes it easy to listen to. I actually have the exact same question as @Bullionaire. In a landing zone context, if we are enabling landing zones customers to build public facing solutions how do we securely protect them? I understand the concept of Azure GWLB and it routes traffic through the NVA which is what we want, but this doesn't eliminate the need for a WAF? So where does the WAF sit or does Azure GWLB assume the NVA is doing this? Thanks very much.
