AFD includes SSL offloading, URL redirect and rewrite, HTTP/2, IPv6 or session affinity.

You can start using/evaluating it thanks to this sample guide https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/frontdoor/

 

In addition of AFD going GA, you can also start evaluating Web Application Firewall (WAF) for AFD in preview.

Web Application Firewall is providing centralized protection solution for your web application – for those who knew ForeFront TMG, this is the same type of solution.
