SSL Termination And SSL Offloading In Azure Front Door
SSL termination involves decrypting SSL-encrypted traffic as it enters, before it actually gets to the backend. and, while on the other hand SSL offloading, the SSL processing is moved from backend servers to a service e.g. Front Door. This innovative technique not only enhances server performance but also helps the load on the servers.
