Hello!
is the use of an Application Gateway in front of the ARO cluster and load-balancing traffic to the exposed ARO Routes for services supported?
because on the official documentation both on
does only mention AFD (premium)
The reason why we are asking is that we have seen unofficial documentation made from a Microsoft employee regarding this scenario.
Best Regards,
Gabriele

2023-08-30T01:34:26.79+00:00 Thank you for your patience here and apologies for the delay.
Currently there is no official documentation for using Application Gateway with ARO cluster as backend pool. We will file a documentation request with the ARO team to validate the support and create a tutorial for this request.Although after going through some internal requests we have seen some customers use ARO cluster as a backend pool with Application Gateway WAFv2. If you plan to move ahead with this set-up, please let us know if you face any issues. Thank you!

Most ARO customers would use ingress for most of the features that AppGw provides.

We just would like to understand if it is officially supported to have an ARO as a Backend for Application Gateway.
