Azure Front Door Premium Expands Private Link Support to New Origin Types

Dear Azure Community,

Azure Front Door Premium has expanded its capabilities by introducing support for additional origin types through Azure Private Link. This enhancement allows organizations to securely integrate services such as Application Gateway, API Management, and Azure Container Apps as origins, ensuring that these services remain inaccessible from the public internet while delivering content through public Front Door endpoints.

Enhancing Flexibility with Azure Backup’s Cross-Subscription Restore

Hello Azure Community,

Azure Backup has introduced the Cross-Subscription Restore (CSR) feature, empowering users to restore Azure Virtual Machines (VMs) and their associated data across different subscriptions within the same tenant. This advancement offers greater flexibility in managing backup and disaster recovery strategies.
