CDN Profile

Microsoft Azure
App Services
Azure CDN (Content Delivery Network) profile is a configuration layer that allows you to manage and optimize content delivery across various networks, including the internet, private networks, and Azure. It provides a set of rules, policies, and configurations that control how content is delivered to end-users. An Azure CDN profile consists of one or more endpoints, each of which represents a specific CDN distribution point for your content. Each endpoint is associated with a set of rules that define how the content should be delivered, such as caching policies, compression settings, and load balancing rules.‍

The following arguments are supported:

  • name - (Required) Specifies the name of the CDN Profile. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.
  • resource_group_name - (Required) The name of the resource group in which to create the CDN Profile. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.
  • location - (Required) Specifies the supported Azure location where the resource exists. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.
  • sku - (Required) The pricing related information of current CDN profile. Accepted values are Standard_Akamai, Standard_ChinaCdn, Standard_Microsoft, Standard_Verizon or Premium_Verizon. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.

Associating resources with a
CDN Profile
Resources do not "belong" to a
CDN Profile
Rather, one or more Security Groups are associated to a resource.
Create
CDN Profile
via Terraform:
The following HCL manages a CDN Profile to create a collection of CDN Endpoints
Syntax:

resource "azurerm_resource_group" "example" {
 name     = "example-resources"
 location = "West Europe"
}

resource "azurerm_cdn_profile" "example" {
 name                = "exampleCdnProfile"
 location            = azurerm_resource_group.example.location
 resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
 sku                 = "Standard_Verizon"

 tags = {
   environment = "Production"
   cost_center = "MSFT"
 }
}
