Azure Firewall Manager

Azure Firewall Manager acts as a centralized control plane for Microsoft Azure’s network security layer. It handles the orchestration of network configurations and routing rules across multiple Azure Firewall instances, effectively simplifying the management of complex network routes without needing to configure each instance individually.

This service suits enterprises managing large, distributed Azure environments where consistent policy enforcement across many firewalls is critical. The primary trade-off is the lack of a free tier; you are locked into a strict pay-as-you-go model from day one, meaning there is no low-cost entry point for testing or small-scale deployments.
