Using the New-AzFrontDoorCdnRuleUrlFileExtensionConditionObject in PowerShell for Windows Environment

Introduction:
The New-AzFrontDoorCdnRuleUrlFileExtensionConditionObject is a powerful tool in Azure PowerShell that allows users to create CDN rules based on file extensions. This feature is particularly useful for Windows environments as it enables the customization of content delivery based on specific file types.

Examples:
To illustrate the usage of the New-AzFrontDoorCdnRuleUrlFileExtensionConditionObject in a Windows environment, let's consider an example where we want to cache all files with the ".css" extension for a website hosted on Azure Front Door.

First, we need to ensure that we have the Azure PowerShell module installed. Open PowerShell and run the following command to install the module:

Install-Module -Name Az

After the installation is complete, we can start using the New-AzFrontDoorCdnRuleUrlFileExtensionConditionObject. Here's an example of how to create a CDN rule for caching CSS files:

$frontDoorResourceGroup = "YourFrontDoorResourceGroup"

$frontDoorName = "YourFrontDoorName"

$cdnProfileName = "YourCdnProfileName"

$ruleName = "YourRuleName"

$fileExtension = ".css"



$cdnRuleCondition = New-AzFrontDoorCdnRuleUrlFileExtensionConditionObject -FileExtension $fileExtension



Add-AzFrontDoorCdnRule -ResourceGroupName $frontDoorResourceGroup -FrontDoorName $frontDoorName -ProfileName $cdnProfileName -RuleName $ruleName -MatchCondition $cdnRuleCondition

In this example, we specify the file extension ".css" and create a CDN rule using the New-AzFrontDoorCdnRuleUrlFileExtensionConditionObject. The rule is then added to the Azure Front Door using the Add-AzFrontDoorCdnRule command.

Conclusion:
The New-AzFrontDoorCdnRuleUrlFileExtensionConditionObject is a valuable tool for Windows environments, allowing users to create CDN rules based on file extensions. By customizing content delivery based on specific file types, users can improve the performance and efficiency of their websites hosted on Azure Front Door.
