Azure App Gateway and Azure Front Door Reverse Proxy Setup
summary
Configures Azure Application Gateway v2 and Azure Front Door as a reverse proxy for three App Service microservices (Angular front end, identity server, API), showing a working pattern to keep a single hostname and avoid CORS. Uses App Gateway path-based routing, custom health probes, and a rewrite that adds an x-forwarded-path-base header; backend uses custom ASP.NET Core middleware plus forwarded headers to reconstruct original URLs and correct issuer metadata. Notes App Gateway deploys in ~15–20 minutes and Front Door can provision managed HTTPS certificates.
