Azure Front Door
Microsoft's combined CDN, global entry point and app delivery layer, billed on base fee plus metered data transfer.
- CDN
- No
- Standard tier: $35/month base fee. Premium tier: $330/month base fee.
- Not documented
Who it suits.
Teams on Azure that want CDN, global load balancing and WAF as one combined entry point rather than separate products.

Budget-sensitive at small scale — no free tier and a $35/month base fee before any traffic is a higher floor than most pay-as-you-go CDNs in this category.
