Azure Front Door Standard and Premium is our native, modern cloud content-delivery network (CDN), catering to both dynamic and static content delivery acceleration with built-in turnkey security and a simple and predictable pricing model. It has already been widely adopted by many of our customers. We also promised to provide a zero downtime migration tool to migrate from Azure Front Door (classic) and Azure CDN from Microsoft (classic) to the new Azure Front Door tier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, we are taking the next step in that journey, and we are excited to announce the preview of the Azure Front Door tier migration capability as well as some new additional features. The migration capability for Azure CDN from Microsoft (classic) will be coming soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"new-features-capabilities-on-the-new-front-door-since-general-availability\">New features\/capabilities on the new Front Door since general availability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along with the migration feature, we added more capabilities, and integrations to the new Front Door tiers to provide you a better cloud CDN solution and a more integrated Azure cloud experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Preview\u2014Upgrade from Standard to Premium tier without downtime: <\/strong>To learn more about upgrading to Premium tier, see <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/azure\/frontdoor\/tier-upgrade\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure Front Door Tier Upgrade<\/a>.

The migration will take a few minutes to complete depending on the complexity of your Azure Front Door (classic) instance, such as the number of domains, backend pools, routes, and other configurations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/5d6666ed-de9e-4e67-9955-d0c07b43be6d.webp\" alt=\"Screenshot of the form used to initiate migration from classic Front Door to a Front Door Standard or Premium profile.\" title=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your Azure Front Door (classic) instance has custom domains with your own certificates, there will be two extra steps to enable managed identities and grant managed identity to a key vault for the new Azure Front Door profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ece9f52c-66d9-4163-a71f-9814fef042e7.webp\" alt=\"Screen shot of the two added steps needed to enable merged identities and grant managed identity to a key vault for the new Azure Front Door profile.\" title=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The classic instance will be migrated to the Standard or Premium tier by default based on the Azure Front Door (classic) WAF configurations. Upgrading from the Standard tier to Premium during the migration is also supported. If your Azure Front Door (classic) qualifies to migrate to Azure Front Door Standard, but the number of resources exceeds the <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/azure-resource-manager\/management\/azure-subscription-service-limits#azure-front-door-standard-and-premium-tier-service-limits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">standard quota limit<\/a>, the Azure Front Door (classic) instances will be migrated to a Premium profile instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/products\/web-application-firewall\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Web Application Firewall<\/a> (WAF) policies associated with the Front Door profile, the migration process will create copies of your WAF policies and configurations for the new Front Door profile tier. You can also use an existing WAF policy that matches the tier you&#8217;re migrating to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Azure Front Door tier migration is supported using the Azure portal.&nbsp;Azure PowerShell, Azure CLI, SDK, and Rest API support will come soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll be charged for the Azure Front Door Standard and Premium base fee from the moment the migration completes. Data transfer out from edge location to client, Outbound Data Transfer from Edge to the Origin, Requests will be charged based on the traffic flow after migration. For more details about Azure Front Door Standard and Premium pricing, see our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-in\/pricing\/details\/frontdoor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pricing for Azure Front Door<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"notable-changes-after-migration\">Notable changes after migration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>DevOps:<\/strong> Azure Front Door Standard and Premium uses a different resource provider namespace <strong>Microsoft.Cdn<\/strong>, while Azure Front Door (classic) uses <strong>Microsoft.Network<\/strong>.
