The lock-booking site now has users on two continents and needs anycast HTTPS at the edge with a single global hostname. Which entry-point choice should the security engineer make?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Two continents and one global hostname scream Azure Front Door. A second regional Application Gateway isn’t anycast, and Traffic Manager isn’t the January 2026 headline skill here.
Full Explanation
Azure Front Door provides global anycast Layer-7 and CDN entry with a single global hostname across continents. Application Gateway remains the regional L7 reverse proxy; Front Door plus Application Gateway is a documented pattern when both global edge and regional gateway features are needed. A second regional Application Gateway alone does not provide global anycast. Traffic Manager is not the first-class January 22, 2026 skill for this public-access bullet. Azure Firewall DNAT is not a global HTTPS application edge.
