029 - What is Azure Web Application Firewall?

In this episode, we take a look at Web Application Firewall, or WAF. We've previously discussed about Azure CDN (Episode 023) and remote access (Episode 009) so now it was a good time to focus on WAF itself. We also reminisce a little bit about the past when installing a firewall meant spending nights configuring routing and networks and access rules. Pricing for WAF is also curiously complex, so our take on that is also included. In the end, we have a small raffle announced, so stay tuned until the end!
