configured for deployment across multiple zones which increases availability&nbsp;<\/li><li>Unrestricted scalability- Azure firewall can be scaled automatically to adjust the flow of network traffic which saves you from peak traffic budgeting&nbsp;<\/li><li>Filtering rules for Application FDQN- You can restrict outbound traffic or Azure SQL traffic to a list of FDQNs using wild cards&nbsp;<\/li><li>Traffic filtering rules of the network- You can create network traffic filtering rules based on ports, sources, IP addresses and source&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\t\t<div
