In this article, we will explore the usage of the New-AzFrontDoorCdnRuleUrlPathConditionObject cmdlet in PowerShell for Windows. This cmdlet allows us to create URL path conditions for Azure Front Door CDN rules, enabling us to define specific routing or caching behaviors based on the URL path of incoming requests. This is particularly important for optimizing website performance and delivering content efficiently to end users.

Examples:

1. Creating a new URL path condition object:

$condition = New-AzFrontDoorCdnRuleUrlPathConditionObject -MatchType ExactMatch -Path "/images/*"

In this example, we create a new URL path condition object using the New-AzFrontDoorCdnRuleUrlPathConditionObject cmdlet. The -MatchType parameter specifies the type of matching to be used, which can be either ExactMatch or WildcardMatch. The -Path parameter defines the URL path pattern to match against.

2. Adding the URL path condition object to a Front Door CDN rule:

$rule = Get-AzFrontDoorCdnRule -ResourceGroupName "myResourceGroup" -FrontDoorName "myFrontDoor" -Name "myRule"

$rule.UrlPathConditions.Add($condition)

Set-AzFrontDoorCdnRule -FrontDoorRule $rule

In this example, we retrieve an existing Front Door CDN rule using the Get-AzFrontDoorCdnRule cmdlet. We then add the URL path condition object to the rule's URLPathConditions collection using the Add() method. Finally, we update the rule using the Set-AzFrontDoorCdnRule cmdlet.
