Azure front door in a hub and spoke architecture

Hi,

I am currently exploring using Azure Front door as a way of providing HA/DR for some web apps, we currently have a hub and spoke configuration and I am not sure of the best way to configure this.

a) I configure one front door resource within the hub which is centrally managed and then all web apps are setup behind this.
b) we deploy one front door resource per application and the front door resource lives with the application.

Does anybody have any advise on the best way forward with this?

Thanks!

    Azure Front Door does not sit within a Virtual Network, it acts as a global entry point for your application. If you are looking for a service which will help traffic enter your Virtual Network, an Azure Application Gateway is what you are looking for. Once Azure Front Door receives a request it routes the request based upon your specification.

    Can you elaborate a bit more on what you are looking for?
