- You want to use session affinity at both the regional and the server level. Front Door can send the traffic from a user session to the same backend in a region, but Application Gateway can send it to the same server in the backend.

Can I deploy another CDN from an external vendor behind or in front of Front Door?

To use Azure Front Door, you must have a public VIP or a DNS name that is publicly accessible. Azure Front Door uses the public IP to route the traffic to your origin. A common scenario is to deploy an Azure Load Balancer behind Front Door. You can also use Private Link with Azure Front Door Premium to connect to an internal load balancer. For more information, see [enable Private Link with internal load balancer](standard-premium/how-to-enable-private-link-internal-load-balancer.md).

Chaining two CDNs is a generally not a recommended approach, it would work but comes with the following cons
53
+
1. CDN’s last mile acceleration utilizes keeping the connection stream with the origin, and finding optimal path to the origin to achieve best results. Chaining two CDNs together typically negates some of the benefits from last mile acceleration.
54
+
2. Security controls become less effective at the second CDN. Any client IP based ACLing will not work at the second CDN as the second CDN will see thw first CDN’s exit node as Client IPs. Content payload will still be inspected.
55
+
3. Many organizations can’t handle the complexity of troubleshooting two CDNs being chained and when a problem it becomes hard to figure out which CDN is having the issue.

Can I move Front Door and CDN profiles between resource groups or subscriptions without any downtime?
165

answer: |
166

- Front Door Standard/Premium and Azure CDN profiles can be moved between resource groups or subscriptions without any downtime. To execute the move, follow these [instructions](../azure-resource-manager/management/move-resource-group-and-subscription.md).
167
+
- Front Door Classic doesn't support move between resource groups or subscriptions. You can instead [migrate](tier-migration.md) the Classic profile to Standard/Premium and then execute the move.

- If the customer has WAF associated to the Front Door Standard/Premium, then move operation will fail. Customer has to disassociate WAF policies first, move and then associate.

Azure Front Door is a service that provides fast and secure web delivery. It allows you to define how your web traffic is routed and optimized across multiple regions and endpoints. Azure Front Door resources, such as Front Door profiles and routing rules, are only charged when they're enabled. However, web application firewall (WAF) policies and rules are charged regardless of their status. Even if you disable a WAF policy or rule, it still incurs costs for you.

Is it possible to support compression for file sizes above 8 MB?
304

answer: |
305

AFD does not support dynamic compression for content greater than 8 MB. However, if the content has been already compressed by the origin, Front Door supports serving static compressed content over 8 MB as long as range request is supported and chunked transfer encoding is not enabled.
