High Performance: Azure CDN significantly improves the performance of web content delivery by caching content on edge servers located close to users. This reduces latency and ensures faster load times for websites, mobile apps, and streaming media[1][2][4].
Scalability: Azure CDN can handle large traffic spikes and high loads without downtime. It scales effortlessly to meet the demands of major events or product launches, ensuring a seamless user experience[1][4].
Global Coverage: With a vast network of points of presence (PoPs) across the globe, Azure CDN ensures that content is delivered quickly and efficiently to users regardless of their location[1][4].
Cost Efficiency: By offloading traffic from the origin server to edge servers, Azure CDN reduces the need for expensive infrastructure and lowers bandwidth costs. This makes it a cost-effective solution for delivering content globally[2][3][4].
Enhanced Security: Azure CDN offers robust security features, including custom domain HTTPS, DDoS mitigation, and geo-filtering. These features help protect the origin server from malicious attacks and ensure secure content delivery[1][4].
Integration with Azure Services: Azure CDN integrates seamlessly with other Azure services, such as Azure Storage, Azure Web Apps, and Azure Media Services, providing a unified and efficient content delivery solution[1][4].
Disadvantages of Azure CDN
Points of Failure: The edge servers in a CDN can become points of failure. If an edge server goes down, it can disrupt the delivery of web content, leading to potential downtime[2].
Security Concerns: While CDNs offer enhanced security, they also introduce more gateways for potential attacks. Sensitive data replicated across multiple servers can be vulnerable if not properly managed[3][5].
Loss of Control: Using a CDN means that your data is stored o...
