John Savill’s Technical Training presents a clear overview of the Azure Application Gateway’s new Network Isolation capability, outlining its use in strengthening network security.

Application Gateway Network Isolation Explained

Azure has introduced a new Network Isolation capability for Application Gateway, which enables users to restrict and control network traffic more effectively within their cloud architectures. This video covers the following key topics:

Overview of Application Gateway: Understanding its role as an Azure load balancer and application delivery controller for web applications.
Network Isolation Explained: How network isolation works with Application Gateway, including separation of resources, restricted subnet access, and traffic segmentation for enhanced security.
Implementation Basics: Steps to enable and configure network isolation on Application Gateway, requirements regarding Virtual Networks (VNets), and integration with other Azure security features.
Security Benefits: The impact of network isolation on reducing attack surfaces, improving compliance, and supporting multi-tenant application scenarios.
Use Cases: Scenarios where network isolation is particularly valuable, such as hosting applications for different business units or customers with strict security requirements.

Best Practices

Deploy Application Gateway into dedicated subnets for maximum isolation.
Integrate with Azure Network Security Groups (NSGs) for granular access control.
Monitor traffic patterns and apply further segmentation as needed.

By leveraging network isolation with Application Gateway, organizations can better safeguard their cloud-hosted applications and meet stringent security requirements.
