I have been on a quest the past few days to move one of my websites to Azure. Overall, it isn\u2019t really that difficult, but it also isn\u2019t very clear.<\/p>\n
First, I created an Azure Storage Account, and enabled it for static website capability. Then, because I don\u2019t like easy, I enabled it for HTTPS\/TLS 1.2. That means it needs a certificate. Good news!<\/p>\n
Azure CDN can be used to front your static website and provide the HTTPS function. It will even create and manage the cert for free!<\/p>\n
Except, it can\u2019t \/ won\u2019t do that for apex\/root domains. So you have to use the www (or something less obvious) or bring your own cert.<\/p>\n
Good news! Let\u2019s Encrypt has free certs! But they expire every 90 days. <\/p>\n
I have a few months to go buy a longer lived cert, or build a way to more effectively and efficiently update the Let\u2019s Encrypt cert.<\/p>\n
Wish me luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
