Will there be any downtime during purge operation in azure Front Door

Question

We wanted to integrate our static website hosted in Azure storage account with Azure Font door for security and CDN purpose. During our weekly deployments we will be updating our application.
Question is, once we update our website in storage account and configured to use Azure front door and CDN cached, we wanted to update the content immediately after the deployment to which we might need to perform the purge operation. Will there be any down time here during purge operation?
We wanted to avoid downtime for our users.

Thank you for reaching out.

I understand you wish to know if there will be any downtime for your website when you perform a cache purge in your Azure Front Door.

Your website will not face any downtime while performing cache purge, only for Azure Front Door cache purging can take up to 10 mins to propagate across all Azure Front Door POP locations. After 10 mins all the users should receive updated content.

This is currently documented here

Hope this answers your query. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you!
