SharePoint AAM is deprecated , really ?

If you read following artile you may be confused.

Because the features of alternate access mapping are deprecated, we recommend that you use host-named site collections over alternate access mappings.”
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc261814.aspx

First it is not true !!!  For path based site collections you will use AAM because you have no other possibility. So basically this sentence not aims directly to SharePoint 2013 on-premise solutions.In SPO yes in SPO architecture based on Host named sites collections and AAM usage not necessary but this is not configurable by customers anyway in SPO .I hope, this article will be changed soon . You be sure that AAMs will be around for a long time.

URL Rewrite with SharePoint 2007/2010/2013

Redirection is the use of HTTP status codes 301 or 302 to redirect the client to a different location, which involves an additional client round trip.

Rewriting is actually changing both incoming and/or outgoing URLs. Any implementation of such rewrites is unsupported with SharePoint unless the path is symmetrical.

For example, you can modify the path of a request, such as http://www.contoso.com/sharepoint/default.aspx, which is forwarded to the SharePoint server as http://sharepoint.perimeter.example.com/default.aspx. This is referred to as an asymmetrical path.

SharePoint Server 2007/2010/2013 do NOT support asymmetrical paths. The path of the URL must be symmetrical between the public URL and the internal URL. In the above example, this means that the /SharePoint/default.aspx portion of the URL must not be modified by any external tool.
