Can we undelete or undo or recover the deleted Azure Front Door instance


  • Accidentally my Azure Front door service is deleted by our team.
  • We have its certificate that is used to manage the Front door service.
  • For the Storage Accounts, I'm able to recover the deleted ones in Azure.

Does Azure Saves only specific deleted resources such as storage accounts?

Can we configure/recover the Front Door using its managed certificate we have?


Solution

  • My view, there is no way to un-delete a resource in Azure, with few exceptions. If any support request on subscription from past 3 months, there was a chance to re-configure the same with old configuration.

    Can we configure/recover the Front Door using its managed certificate we have?

    We can able to re-create Front Door with the same certificate and re-configure the same. Azure does not save configurations of deleted resources.

    NOTE: refer tutorial

    If any newer version of the certificate is selected, on certificate rotation. It takes up to 72 hours for certificate/secret to be deployed.

    I found one post from [Travis Cragg, MSFT] on recovery that relates to the same.

    As part of the testing, I created a Front Door.
