Azure Front Door

As explained in Azure Security

Azure Front Door is a global Azure service for accelerating, routing, and load-balancing web application traffic across regions and origins.

How Azure Security covers it

How deep it goes

Configures WAF policies, rule sets, operating modes, and security-policy associations through Azure CLI, without detailing complete Front Door provisioning.

Examples

Uses Azure CLI commands and JSON output to create policies, add managed rules, inspect modes, and associate protection with endpoints.

What it assumes

Requires familiarity with Azure resources, Front Door profiles and endpoints, resource groups, Azure CLI, and Network Contributor permissions.

What you can do after

Operate/configure Front Door WAF protection, select Detection or Prevention, add managed rules, and associate policies with Front Door endpoints.

How it connects

Connects Azure WAF, WAF policies, Application Gateway, OWASP rule sets, bot protection, and hub-and-spoke networking.
