Azure Front Door is a global, scalable Application Delivery Network (ADN) as a service that offers dynamic site acceleration (DSA) along with load balancing with near real-time failover. Organizations can use it to build, operate, and scale-out dynamic web applications and static content. With Microsoft’s global edge network, organizations can failover entire applications or individual microservices across regions and clouds.<\/p>\n
In many cases, organizations use content delivery networks (CDN) for Denial-of-service attack (DDoS) protection. However, with most services, a system-defined URL is generated to identify a platform\/service and the domain name is masked while routing through the network. In this article, we will show how to deploy and configure Azure Front Door with a custom domain.<\/p>\n
Azure Front Door improves global connectivity to web applications by routing client requests to the fastest and most available application backend and improving resilience. Here are some of the advantages of deploying Azure Front Door in front of web applications.<\/p>\n
A visible domain name in the end-user request is one of the most important branding factors, especially for businesses in areas such as e-commerce which have multiple sub-domains. Here is how a custom domain can be added to Azure Front Door.<\/p>\n
There are several components in Azure that perform similar functions. For example, many of the capabilities of Azure Front Door can be implemented by using other services such as Azure CDN and Azure Application Gateway.
