New Blog | Getting Started with Azure WAF REST API for Azure Front Door: A Step-by-Step Guide
By David Frazee
REST API plays a pivotal role in the management of resources on Azure, offering a standardized and methodical approach for handling operations such as create, read, update, and delete (CRUD). The use of HTTP methods, such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE, in REST API aligns with CRUD operations, making it intuitive for administrators to manipulate resources on Azure. Additionally, REST API supports a range of data formats, including JSON and XML, providing versatility in how data is consumed and transmitted. This is particularly valuable for automating workflows and enabling continuous deployment and integration practices. Focusing on Azure WAF, we’ll examine its REST API integration for configuring rules, monitoring policies, and real-time threat response, vital for maintaining security in fast-paced cloud deployments. This seamless integration not only enhances security but also ensures that the management of security protocols keeps pace with the rapid deployment cycles inherent in modern cloud environments.
