How to create CDN in Windows Azure

Question

I'm trying to deliver a file via CDN.I created a Blob and uploaded the file to it. Now i want to use a CDN to deliver it as per Azure docs here http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/manage/services/other/cdn/

In the Windows Azure Management Portal, in the navigation pane, click CDN.

On the ribbon, click New. In the New dialog, select App Services, then CDN, then Quick Create.

The problem is in my account there is nothing called App Services How am i supposed to create the CDN?

Answer 1

If you are new to Azure (you created your account recently) you will not see CDN in the portal. Currently CDN is only enabled for customers who have used it before (~2-3 years). But I do believe we will very soon see CDN enabled for all customers.

And Application Services is a group which you will see when you click the big plus (+) sign at the bottom left of management portal.

Answer 2

Azure CDN is available as of April 3, 2014, as announced at the //build conference (pricing is available here).

You'll find CDN on the left-side along with the other services:

When you choose to add the endpoint, you can select from your storage accounts (or cloud services):

You'll then see your CDN endpoint, ready for use:

Answer 3

Astaykov is correct, access to CDN is being limited. It might be worth contacting MS support by submitting a ticket through the management portal to see whether CDN could be added to your subscription.
