Azure Firewall
Azure Firewall acts as a cloud-native network security and analytics layer for Azure Virtual Networks. It handles the concrete work of protecting resources, monitoring traffic flows, and generating reports on network activity. This setup provides visibility into network security posture without requiring manual packet inspection tools or separate logging infrastructure.
Teams already operating within the Azure ecosystem will find this integration straightforward, though there is no free tier to test capabilities. The pay-as-you-go model starts at $0.0160 per GB, meaning costs scale directly with data throughput. This pricing structure makes it less attractive for low-traffic environments where fixed-cost alternatives might offer better predictability.
