Azure Load Balancing with sticky session

Question

Can you please suggest best approach to load balance the application Or Can I use Azure Loadbalancer with sticky session other than Application gateway?

Answer 1

Sticky sessions can be set in the load balancer by setting the session persistence as a client ID. 

An application gateway is optimal for Web-based traffic while a load balancer is for Stream-based traffic. If changes are usually made to the VM then you should go for a Load balancer other application Gateway will do the work for you.

Make sure to consider the fact that RDP to Instance is not supported in the Application Gateway but it is supported in the Load Balancer.
