Is application gateway a right choice in my scenario?

On my on premise servers, we have two set of web apis:

  1. service.xxxx.net/chartdata/data
  2. service.xxxx.net/chartimage/image

We are in the process of moving our sites to azure (as two web apps). The big boss wants to keep the url structure on azure. I did some research and seems application gateway can achieve that.

However, when setting up an application gateway, I need to provide vnet and subnet information. As it is just two web apps, I don't really have a vnet.

So this makes me wonder if application gateway is indeed the right choice or not? Maybe there is something else?

Have you looked at API Management azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/api-management ? - CSharpRocks
we have two sites (west and north europe), will APIM act as a load balanccer? - daxu

App gateway is the right solution for a single region.

You need to create Vnet for the App Gateway not for the web apps. You can check this tutorial: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/modules/load-balance-web-traffic-with-application-gateway/

For multiple regions, Azure Front Door is a the right one: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/frontdoor/
