How to find the Windows Azure CDN with new managment portal. To be noted i am using the Preview portal and in 90 days free trial
As the name suggests this is a portal to manage Azure services, which was released in 2012. This is a platform provided by Microsoft for its Azure clients where they can see, manage and buy the services offered by Azure.
Traffic Manager uses the round-robin, performance, or failover method to decide to which endpoint to route traffic. CDNs serve cached content directly from CDN nodes that are closest to end users. CDNs can reduce traffic to original service nodes by serving static content directly.
Personalize your experience. Imagine a single easy-to-use console built just for you, your team, and your projects. This unified hub significantly simplifies building, deploying, and managing your cloud resources. Organize your portal to custom-fit your work and your work style.
I contacted MS Support about this, since old portal link is no longer available.
Here is the reply as of Sep 26, 2013:
We’re in the process of building out our next generation Windows Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) architecture, and during this time we are no longer accepting new CDN customers. With the CDN functionality having recently transitioned to the new Azure management portal, we have enabled it automatically only for customers who were using CDN in the old management portal, so they can continue to manage their CDN configurations. For everyone else, the CDN feature is not enabled in the new portal. We highly encourage you to wait until we’re ready building our next generation Azure CDN service.
From the Preview Portal mouse over the green preview link at the top and click on the link, "Take me to the previous portal". Then on the left, click on Hosted Services, Storage Accounts & CDN.
From there you must create a Storage Account if you don't already have one. If you do, select CDN from the left menu. Once there, select your desired Storage Account, and click the New Endpoint button from the top nav. Check the box for Enable CDN and click OK.
