## Autoscaling

Application Gateway or WAF deployments under Standard_v2 or WAF_v2 SKU support autoscaling and can scale up or down based on changing traffic load patterns. Autoscaling also removes the requirement to choose a deployment size or instance count during provisioning. For more information about the Application Gateway standard_v2 and WAF_v2 features, see [Autoscaling v2 SKU](application-gateway-autoscaling-zone-redundant.md).

## Web application firewall

Web application firewall (WAF) is a feature of Application Gateway that provides centralized protection of your web applications from common exploits and vulnerabilities. WAF is based on rules from the [OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) core rule sets](https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_ModSecurity_Core_Rule_Set_Project) 3.0 or 2.2.9.

Web applications are increasingly targets of malicious attacks that exploit common known vulnerabilities. Common among these exploits are SQL injection attacks, cross site scripting attacks to name a few. Preventing such attacks in application code can be challenging and may require rigorous maintenance, patching and monitoring at many layers of the application topology. A centralized web application firewall helps make security management much simpler and gives better assurance to application administrators against threats or intrusions. A WAF solution can also react to a security threat faster by patching a known vulnerability at a central location versus securing each of individual web applications. Existing application gateways can be converted to a web application firewall enabled application gateway easily.

Multiple-site hosting enables you to configure more than one web site on the same application gateway instance. This feature allows you to configure a more efficient topology for your deployments by adding up to 100 web sites to one application gateway. Each web site can be directed to its own pool. For example, application gateway can serve traffic for `contoso.com` and `fabrikam.com` from two server pools called ContosoServerPool and FabrikamServerPool.

Multiple-site hosting enables you to configure more than one web site on the same application gateway instance. This feature allows you to configure a more efficient topology for your deployments by adding up to 100 web sites to one Application Gateway, or 40 for WAF (for optimal performance). Each web site can be directed to its own pool. For example, application gateway can serve traffic for `contoso.com` and `fabrikam.com` from two server pools called ContosoServerPool and FabrikamServerPool.

Connection draining helps you achieve graceful removal of backend pool members during planned service updates. This setting is enabled via the backend http setting and can be applied to all members of a backend pool during rule creation. Once enabled, Application Gateway ensures all de-registering instances of a backend pool do not receive any new request while allowing existing requests to complete within a configured time limit. This applies to both backend instances that are explicitly removed from the backend pool by an API call, and backend instances that are reported as unhealthy as determined by the health probes.
