Documentation
azure-application-gateway
Regional L7 load balancer with WAF v2 policy, TLS termination from Key Vault,
autoscaling and health probes. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu
(>= 1.6), azurerm provider >= 4.0, < 5.0.
azurerm_application_gateway is a monolithic resource with a dozen nested
block types that must cross-reference each other by name. This module flattens
that into plain maps keyed by name, generates frontend ports from your
listeners, and enforces the cross-block invariants (redirect XOR backend per
rule, certificate required on HTTPS listeners) at plan time.
Secure defaults:
- WAF_v2 SKU with OWASP 3.2 managed rules in Prevention mode
- Predefined TLS policy
AppGwSslPolicy20220101(TLS 1.2+) - Key Vault TLS certificates via a dedicated user-assigned identity (no certificate blobs in state) — pass versionless secret IDs for auto-rotation
- HTTP/2 enabled, autoscaling 1-3 capacity units, zone-deployable
Requirements
- Terraform or OpenTofu
>= 1.6 hashicorp/azurerm>= 4.0, < 5.0(built against 4.76)- A dedicated subnet (nothing but Application Gateways in it)
- Running cost is roughly $0.45/hr for WAF_v2 — destroy test stacks promptly
