Microsoft Azure Front Door Deep Dive

[@NTFAQGuy]

Hey everyone, thanks for watching this video. This was my first video with the new whiteboard app so still getting used to it AND I did a Spartan Ultra the day before so I'm operating on no sleep, body pain and sunburn :-D 🔎 Remember if looking for content on a particular topic please search the channel. If I have something it will be there!

[@darrenm8531]

I think I just owe John a % of my salary at this point. Unreal output.

[@biancaoliveira2319]

Always with awesowe videos! This is definitely the best channel about Azure content!

[@NTFAQGuy]

Thank you! 🤙

[@richardgmale2913]

I had always considered Azure Front door to be a suite of things already available in azure and ignored it only for the biggest projects, but this gives a slightly different perspective! Thank you John again for making the product easy to consume!

[@NTFAQGuy]

Welcome and thank you!

[@SmallvilleJW]

Thank you, John. This was a phenomenal overview and it helped me prepare a PoC for a customer. Your content is awesome. I’m so thankful you picked this as your hobby 💙😎👍

[@jaylee3941]

congrats John on the MSFT award just now. So well deserved!

[@shahsadeque]

Excellent presentation John. Very helpful.

[@lltagged]

Great overview! Still absolutely insane that your training is at least equal if not better quality than most paid options out there to study and learn new things. Rock on. 🤘🤘

[@NTFAQGuy]

I appreciate that!

[@CarlaJenkinsTV]

This is a great video for anyone who's studying to pass AZ-700 Azure Network Engineer Associate exam. Front Door is featured on it.

[@gufretnik]

Thanks John! Another awesome presentation. I'm still catching up with Azure and your videos are really making it easy for me!

[@NTFAQGuy]

Glad to help!

[@jasric89]

I was recently asked to spin up Azure Front Door for one of our services, and I just couldn't figure out why it wouldn't spin down, and delete easily. As always your videos are so in-depth that now I understand what Actually Front Door is, and its actually got me thinking that we are not using it, in its best capability. :) Thank you.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Glad could help 🤙

[@charleslassiter6082]

Thank you, John! wonderful teaching-really appreciate your clear explanations!

[@NTFAQGuy]

You're very welcome!

[@martincayer2615]

Once again, fantastic video John. Your hard work creating these is very much appreciated!

[@NTFAQGuy]

Very welcome

[@solad3]

Thanks John, brilliant delivery on this subject as always, but this was really super.

[@oem73]

Like always, awesome content. By the way, I love the "badfather" cname. Thanks again, John!

[@muralibanka2942]

I'm very impressed with your knowledge and your explanation is crystal clear. Thanks again Jhon. I'm already going through your other Azure videos. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. You are my Guru.😊.

[@TheCdron]

Great video again, John!

[@renatojrestorque6150]

Fantastic presentation, Thanks a lot Chief for sharing your knowledge.

[@NTFAQGuy]

My pleasure!

[@DUEric]

Great, very useful training and easy to be understood👍

[@NTFAQGuy]

I’m glad you found it helpful! 😊

[@Edkemp76]

Another great video John. Having discussions with what Front Door Is! I’ve had discussion on whether it’s a CDN, a DDoS protection service, etc - basically trying to do a comparison with AKAMAI CDN & services. This has helped a lot of understanding. 👍

[@NTFAQGuy]

Happy could help!

[@Edkemp76]

@@NTFAQGuy my understanding is that similar to AKAMAi, FD can do CDN, WAF protection similar to AKAMAI just depends what and how much you want to pay for the different services. 👍👍

[@Edkemp76]

Cheers - have a good evening.

[@henriquealexandreh]

Super impressive! Thanks John.

[@jinwang7284]

[@NTFAQGuy]

Very kind, thank you 🤙

[@gregorpula]

Nice video, John. I hope they introduce the automated cert renewal to other services like the App Gateway, App Proxy etc.

[@haotan2460]

Great content, thank you good sir

[@NTFAQGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@PCtutorialKid]

In the case where you are combining App GW and AFD, do you have to choose where SSL offload, cookie based affinity, etc is done? What are the considerations there and how/where is it done?

[@NTFAQGuy]

Commonly need both especially think about things like affinity, you need affinity to the right regional solutions and THEN to the actual backend instance. Docs talk about the various other combinations.

[@lj7894]

Life saver...thank you John!

[@NTFAQGuy]

You bet!

[@kauffmann101]

Can i say in some perspectives Azure Front door is the cross-regions version of Azure Application Gateway ?Thanks

[@NTFAQGuy]

Yep as I said in the video

[@harrytrueman4216]

Hi what's the cheapest way to get hands on azure experience? Is there a non production plan or learning plan? Something like VMUG?

[@NTFAQGuy]

Watch my learn azure video

[@warvstar]

Could the split tcp and / or caching apply to a websocket connection? I have a game service that requests 1000s of smaller static assets at a time, and I've found doing that many GET requests in a row is just much slower, however I've not yet found a way to cache these assets on the edge when they get requested via websockets. Thanks for any insight.

[@NTFAQGuy]

AFD does not support websockets.

[@Perfectphase]

It does support HTTP/2 though, which does support multiplexing and concurrency for the type of thing you're doing. The HTTP2 part will terminate at front door and HTTP/1.1 will be used to the orign, but as they are now just HTTP calls you'll benifit from Cache/CDN support, and the slower client to FD part will be much faster.

[@laminsamba4809]

Thanks John 👏👏👏

[@NTFAQGuy]

Very welcome.

[@christianibiri]

This is a great video!

[@NTFAQGuy]

Thank you

[@juvewan]

for custom domain, can I use cert purchased from other providers?

[@NTFAQGuy]

Yes I said that in the video

[@nazimmatoub9564]

As usual, very instructive content !! I've a question about the V1 AFD. Is it normal that a rule engine is applied even if it's not associated with routing rules ? Thanks in advance

[@hkmb777]

Rules engine is independent of routing rules and is not enabled by default.

[@matthewjacobs4882]

Hey John! I've been watching your channel for quite some time and I am constantly pointing it out to new Engineers looking to get caught up to speed with Azure concepts. From the perspective of someone who has used the Front Door service, do you have any comments on it's availability? I know from service health it has taken a lot of outages this year.

[@NTFAQGuy]

I've not seen that.

[@Cyvass]

John thanks for a great intro. Have you used it for a production? The product does not garantee SLA yet. The quetion is: Is it risky to use it? Thnx

[@NTFAQGuy]

There is an SLA. azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/summary/

[@Cyvass]

​@@NTFAQGuy Thnx for the reply. You were mainly presenting Front Door Standard/Premium (Preview) as the future. I meant that for this future product is no SLA. The current production-ready version of the Front Door has SLA. Am I right? Thnx

[@NTFAQGuy]

@@Cyvass Right preview never has an SLA.

[@PrimephotoStudio]

Great video, very helpful.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Thanks

[@PrimephotoStudio]

@@NTFAQGuy your welcome, also Happy Thanksgiving!
