What is Azure Front Door?
The cloud-based content delivery network (CDN) offers a robust and comprehensive solution for businesses seeking a fast, reliable, and secure platform to distribute their digital content globally. Leveraging a global network of strategically placed servers, the CDN ensures seamless and efficient delivery of web pages, media files, and other digital assets to end-users, regardless of their location. Complementing the core CDN functionality, the solution also encompasses intelligent threat protection mechanisms, including SSL offloading, web application firewall (WAF), and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) mitigation, safeguarding against a wide range of cyber threats. Additionally, the platform provides actionable insights into user behavior and back-end performance, empowering businesses to make informed decisions and optimize their content delivery strategies. Underpinned by a centralized control plane, the CDN simplifies the orchestration and management of traffic, enabling businesses to maintain a high-performing and secure online presence
