You're working on the configuration plan to centralize the site by using Azure Application Gateway. A few teams have submitted configuration requirements and questions for your consideration:

The web team is installing the application gateway. They want to ensure incoming requests are checked for common security threats like cross-site scripting and crawlers.
The server team has requested information about how Application Gateway routes requests to web servers.
You need to present a high-level comparison of load-balancing strategies to the executive committee.

Which load-balancing strategy does Azure Application Gateway implement?

Requests are distributed to the server in the back-end pool with the lightest load.

Each server in the back-end pool is polled in turn, and the request is sent to the first server that responds.
