Hands-On Azure Labs: Building Redundant Cloud Solutions

Lab Overview

In this lab, you will deploy an Azure Front Door (AFD) CDN profile, which provides a globally distributed point of presence (POP) network for delivering cached static content efficiently. By integrating your surfcitywest999 and surfcityeast999 storage accounts as CDN origins, you’ll enhance performance and reduce latency for end users around the world. This setup also streamlines content delivery while reducing the load on your backend services.

Learning Objectives

• • Create an Azure Front Door CDN profile.
  • Add your storage accounts as origins to serve static content.
  • Understand caching behavior and content delivery patterns for global traffic.
  • Lay the groundwork for custom domain mapping and advanced routing rules.

Exam Relevance

• AZ-104 (Azure Administrator): Demonstrates ability to configure Azure’s content delivery network for optimized global performance.
• AZ-305 (Azure Solutions Architect): Reinforces designing high-performance, distributed architectures that cache and serve content across multiple regions.
