How to setup caching rule in front-door-classic mode

Answer 1

Hello Omkar, Welcome to MS Q&A

To set up a caching rule in Azure Front Door Classic mode, follow these steps:

1. Access the Front Door Designer: Navigate to your Azure Front Door instance and open the Front Door designer.
2. Create or Edit a Routing Rule: You can either create a new routing rule or edit an existing one.
3. Enable Caching: In the routing rule settings, enable caching. You can specify whether to use the default cache duration or set a custom duration.
4. Configure Cache Behavior:
   • If you enable caching, you can choose to honor the origin response header directive or override it with a specified cache duration.
   • If caching is disabled, Azure Front Door will not cache the response contents.
5. Use Rules Engine for Advanced Caching: If you need more control over caching, you can use the Rules Engine to dynamically modify caching configurations based on incoming requests.
6. Testing: Before finalizing your caching rules, thoroughly test all possible scenarios to ensure that user-specific data is not inadvertently cached.
