    @Mohammad Asif (Consultant)

    WAF can be deployed with Azure Application Gateway, Azure Front Door, and Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) service from Microsoft. You cannot enable WAF for Azure Firewall. However, you can implement one of the above services (Azure Application Gateway, Azure Front Door, and Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN)) which can be deployed with WAF and also have Azure Firewall implemented at the same time.

    The Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a feature of Application Gateway that provides centralized inbound protection of your web applications from common exploits and vulnerabilities. Azure Firewall provides inbound protection for non-HTTP/S protocols (for example, RDP, SSH, FTP), outbound network-level protection for all ports and protocols, and application-level protection for outbound HTTP/S.

    Hope this helps. If you have any further questions/concerns, please do let us know and we will be glad to assist further. Thank you!
