Announcing the general availability of Azure Front Door edge
actions (serverless compute at the edge).
With edge actions, customers can execute lightweight
JavaScript functions during Azure Front Door client request/response processing
to make real-time decisions closer to users, improving performance, security,
and application flexibility without adding complexity to origin infrastructure.
Common scenarios include A/B testing, canary deployments,
header manipulation, request filtering, dynamic origin selection, advanced
routing, authentication/authorization at the edge, and many more.
Edge actions integrate seamlessly with Azure
Front Door capabilities such as rules engine, caching, routing, and Web
Application Firewall (WAF). Built on Hyperlight, Microsoft’s secure micro-VM
technology, edge actions provide hardware-backed isolation for customer code
execution.
