WordPress Microsoft Azure Site Kit

[XVII]

Is your enhancement related to a problem? Please describe.

Was looking at options for notifying Azure Front Door of content changes (running purge) and thought it'd be a good opportunity for a plugin.

Describe the solution you'd like

Rather than make a new plugin, perhaps the scope of the Azure Media plugin can be expanded to an Azure Site Kit which does a few Azure related tasks.

• Notify Azure Front Door of content changes
• Suggest recommended hosting/environment parameters for WordPress
• Use service principal to authenticate to Azure resources
• Azure AD authentication for users (merge in existing plugin -- needs some TLC)
• Set up / monitor cron via automation or web jobs?

@ShadowXVII thanks for the feedback! Do you know of other Azure-specific plugins that provide any of this functionality?

No, just the authentication to Azure AD which isn't even registered in WordPress directory yet.

It's had bursts of development but a more cohesive Azure kit would be useful.

CloudFlare have a WordPress plugin that notifies their services of outdated content, which is where the Front Door idea came from.

Oh and another feature, CDN upload for CSS/JS assets as well (not just images). Not sure the best way to manage that -- perhaps through another plugin?
