What is Azure CDN?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 12:06 pm

Azure CDN is a global cloud-based content delivery network (CDN) that helps accelerate the delivery of your web and mobile applications to end users. Azure CDN delivers content from multiple data centers around the world to your users in near-real-time. This ensures that your users get the content they expect, even when the content is located in far-off locations. Azure CDN offers several tiers of service, each with its own benefits and pricing.

You can also use Azure CDN to distribute your content across multiple devices. In this article, we’ll discuss the different tiers of Azure CDN and the benefits they provide.

Tier 1: Basic

The Basic tier of Azure CDN provides the simplest way to get started. It includes a global reach and is suitable for small to mid-sized applications.

The Basic tier offers a 50 MB per second throughput limit.

Tier 2: Standard

The Standard tier of Azure CDN provides a global reach and higher throughput (up to 1 GB per second). It’s suitable for larger applications and can handle spikes in demand.

The Standard tier includes a 500 MB per second throughput limit.

PRO TIP: Azure CDN is a cloud-based content delivery network (CDN) service that enables you to send content to your users with low latency and high availability. Azure CDN can also be used to cache static content from your web site, such as HTML, CSS, and image files, which can improve your site’s performance.

Tier 3: Premium

The Premium tier of Azure CDN provides the highest throughput (up to 10 GB per second) and global reach of all the tiers. It’s suitable for high-traffic, global applications.

The Premium tier includes a 1 GB per second throughput limit.
