Azure Front Door Primary Use Case
DG
Daniel Gualteros
Senior DevOps Engineer at Optum
We need to use the Front Door to support our application globally. You have some users in Europe or Asia, or when on a different Internet, you can implement a Front Door, which is a good feature. You can skip all the traffic from the master guide implemented on the web. So this component is also secure, but the problem with the Front Door is the time latency.
This solution is a global load balancer for web applications, offering layer 7 load-balancing capabilities. We are implementers of Azure products.
It serves as the primary means for our organization to make applications accessible securely over the internet. While we do have specific requirements for load balancing, our primary focus is leveraging it to securely and exclusively expose our applications to the internet.

If you have a web application in the back end, that's what the Front Door is for: you have to have a web application firewall.
Microsoft's Web Application Firewall is designed for the Application Gateway and regional load balancing, or global balancing with Front Door.

Our website is built through a Gatsby process and generic static files. All the static content for the site gets hosted in the CDN. We use Azure Front Door as an entry point for it.
