Hello @Anubhav Aggarwal (TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES LTD)

It sounds like you’re ready to remove your Classic Front Door now that you’ve migrated to the Standard SKU. You can delete the Classic resource several ways—via the Azure portal, Azure CLI, PowerShell, or the REST API.

Before you begin, make sure:

  • You’ve disassociated any WAF policies or custom domains from the Classic Front Door
  • There are no resource locks on the Front Door resource or its resource group
  • You’re targeting the correct subscription and resource group
  • Traffic is successfully flowing through the Standard/Premium profile.
  • Custom domain DNS CNAME records have been updated from the Classic endpoint to the new Standard/Premium endpoint and DNS propagation has completed.
  • All routing rules, WAF policies, custom domains, certificates, and origin configurations are functioning as expected in the new profile.
