The Front Door Endpoint is a managed service that provides:
- Efficient routing to the Streaming Origin Endpoint using the Azure network, bypassing the public internet.
- Advanced configuration options, such as caching, compression, Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules, and managed SSL certificates for custom domains.
Need your Front Door Endpoint domain (RMS domain)? See How to get your RMS domain for step-by-step instructions on locating your Front Door hostname.
Considerations
- It is not recommended to map your custom CDN/Azure Front Door to the RMS Front Door Endpoint. According to Microsoft's documentation, this is considered a bad practice.
The hostname displayed in the RMS Console is independent of the actual Azure Front Door domain. When you change the hostname setting in the RMS Console, you are updating only what the API returns - the underlying Azure domain is unchanged. If you need to verify the actual Front Door domain, check your Azure resource group directly.
