No information on Azure Front Door cache purging speed

Open marklagendijk opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

There is currently no information on how long it takes for Azure Front Door to stop serving content from any POP after the Purge API call has completed. Since the Purge API call is a long running operation, one would assume that as soon as it completes it has been removed from all POPs, but this does not seem to be the case.

This information is crucial for determining whether Azure Front Door is a viable solution, or not. For some websites it might be acceptable if it takes half an hour, but for other websites a delay of 3 minutes might already be unacceptable.

@GitaraniSharma-MSFT , @duongau it's been more than a month... any update?

@marklagendijk Apologies on the delayed response. Cache purging can take up to 10 minutes to propagate throughout the network and across all the edge locations. We'll have this information published later in that article.
