3 min readAug 3, 2020
Lets continue our sixth part related to Deploy Your Azure Web Application tutorial.
It is a scalable and secure entry point for the fast delivery of our global application.
It includes Delivery part from 4 parts of family technologies.
- Connectivity
- Monitoring
- Protection
- Delivery
Advantages:
- Front Door is a global service which means it is not one single region, Thus, if there are any single regional failures that happen the service will automatically redirect the traffic to the next closet door. So, if there is some kind of issue, we can failover just as quickly.
- Application giving the user a much more optimal experience.
- We can apply the WAF(web application firewall) that can get more secure.
Steps:
Add application domains, Backend pools, and Routing Rules.
- When adding rules, you can set Rout type as Forward or Redirect. Forwards means that you can go to your backend pool directly. You can set more backend pools in here.
- If you select Redirect, then you can set any path as you want.
- If you select more backend pools, then you want to select which backend pool, you want to redirect your request when adding rules.
- After creating Front Door, you can see the hostname, then you can address your backend pools via these hosts.
- You can see matrics here and we can show 1 hour to 30 days' request counts, response size, Backend request count, and backend health percentage.
- As well as, we can see the Metrics section for more details.
- You can check requests, respond to data out in your logs. As well as you can set alerts.
Next, we go to part 06 related to Deploy Your Azure Web Application tutorial.
