Azure Front Door is a scalable and secure entry point for fast delivery of your global web applications. Front Door periodically sends a synthetic HTTP/HTTPS request to all your configured origins to determine health and proximity. Since multiple global locations are each sending health probes to your origins, the volume of traffic and ’egress’ can be quite high. In this post, I will explain why this is important and how you can reduce egress costs using HEAD requests.

For a long time, I have wanted to document my naming conventions for Azure Resources - this post does just that. A consistent naming convention makes resources easier to find and easier to understand. It can provide structure amongst the chaos of potentially hundreds (if not, thousands) of resources deployed across different regions and environments. A consistent naming standard is the first pillar of the Azure enterprise scaffold and a best practice for cloud applications.

When making an outbound network call from Azure App Services it can be useful to know your application’s outbound IP addresses. Usually, you will use this information to configure the firewalls of external services to allow requests from your application. In Azure, your application’s outbound IP addresses are fixed. This post explains where to find your application’s IP addresses using the portal, the Resource Explorer, Powershell and the Azure CLI.

Working with Azure App Services often involves an element of networking. A straight forward example could include making a request to an internet routable web service. You might be using a Hybrid Connection to access an on-premise resource. A more complex scenario could involve a Virtual Network and Azure’s ExpressRoute. If any of these sound familiar, you will probably have wanted to try and ping your target endpoint.
