Monitoring and managing global routing for web traffic with Azure Front Door

In Azure, you have access to many different services when it comes to routing your web traffic in your applications. You can choose Azure Application Gateway, Azure Load Balancer, or Azure Traffic Manager. You can also implement your very own solution or combine available options and create a custom system. In fact, the perfect choice depends on the OSI level you are aiming at. The downside of all of these services is the lack of global traffic support. The only option that is close to achieving that kind of functionality is Azure Traffic Manager, but it works on the DNS level, which is not ideal for many scenarios. In this section, you will learn what Azure Front Door is and how to use it to manage and monitor global routing and traffic across regions.
