Azure Front Door enables you to define, manage, and monitor the global routing for your web traffic by optimizing for best performance and instant global failover for high availability. With Front Door, you can transform your global (multi-region) consumer and enterprise applications into robust, high-performance personalized modern applications, APIs, and content that reaches a global audience with Azure.
For organizations that have web applications with global reach, the performance of these applications can be impacted by the proximity of the consumer. In order to provide a better, and more consistent experience, organizations may leverage Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) which have several distribution points and deliver content to consumers faster due to proximity and optimized connections.
Azure Front Door goes beyond providing traditional CDN capabilities by also providing advanced security capabilities, including preventing Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.
