Azure Front Door Service is Microsoft’s highly available and scalable web application acceleration platform and global HTTP(s) load balancer. Azure Front Door Service supports Dynamic Site Acceleration (DSA), SSL offloading and end to end SSL, Web Application Firewall, cookie-based session affinity, URL path-based routing, free certificates and multiple domain management. In this article, I will compare Azure Front Door to Azure Traffic Manager in terms of performance and functionality. Similarity: Azure Front Door service can be compared to Azure Traffic Manager in a way that this also provides global HTTP load balancing to distribute traffic across different Azure regions, cloud providers or even with your on-premises. Both AFD & Traffic Manager support: Multi-geo redundancy: If one region goes down, traffic routes to the closest region without any intervention. Closest region routing: Traffic is automatically routed to the closest region. Differences: Azu...
