Much like the most popular Kubernetes Ingress Controllers, the Application Gateway Ingress Controller provides several features, leveraging Azure’s native Application Gateway L7 load balancer. To name a few:

URL routing

Cookie-based affinity

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) termination

End-to-end SSL

Support for public, private, and hybrid web sites

Integrated support of Azure web application firewall

Application Gateway redirection support isn ' t limited to HTTP to HTTPS redirection alone. This is a generic redirection mechanism, so you can redirect from and to any port you define using rules. It also supports redirection to an external site as well.
