All the documentation talks about Azure Blob Storage to be used with CDN. Unfortunately the Azure Web Portal doesn't allow me to upload any "blobs" to the Blob storage. On the other side I can do that with a Files storage type.

However I wasn't able to access my Files storage through my CDN Endpoint. Is it not supported?

Do I need to use Blob Storage and upload files programmatically?

We can only access Azure File storage via SMB or Rest API. If you want to use anonymous Http access, I would suggest your choose Azure blob storage. If you want to use CDN in Azure file storage. I think you need to write a web application and access the files via Rest API. Then you only need to connect CDN with your web application.

  • If I understand you correctly you are saying Azure CDN has no way accessing files on an azure storage "files store" - not even Azure internally. CDN should translate HTTP GET image to the corresponding REST API call ;-) – lapsus Aug 25 '16 at 05:58
  • Yes, if Blob storage could achieve your requirement. It is very easy to use Azure CDN. – Jambor - MSFT Aug 25 '16 at 07:02

Why not use Azure Storage Explorer or the confusingly-named Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer to upload files to blob storage and thus place yourself in a supported scenario?

  • Great hint. I only knew Cloud Explorer from within Visual Studio. That might be a helpful tool down to the road for department specialists. – lapsus Aug 25 '16 at 06:01
