Blob Storage

Public Container

DNS name resolves to closest POP

Blob header determines time-to-live at the edge

Content Delivery Network (CDN)

• 24 global distributed CDNs (99.95% availability)• Setup a CDN via Management Portal– Generate 2 URLs for diffrent distributions

• Direct Access:http://myacct.blob.core.windows.net/images/myimage.jpg

• Access via CDN:http://azXXXX.vo.msecnd.net/images/myimage.jpg

– CNAME Mappings for CDN URLshttp://blog.smarx.com/posts/using-the-new-windows-azure-cdn-with-a-custom-domain

• CDN for WebApps and Windows Azure Storage– CSS, Images, ...

• Smooth streaming available as CTP

Lifetime of CDN Content

• Per Default Content stays alive for 72h• Setup TTL via „cache control header“

x-ms-blob-cache-control: public, max-age=<value in seconds>

– hours, days, weeks– longer remaining objects reduces:• costs, latency, other caches

• Usage of versioned URIs to change Content

Versioning of URLs

• Easy to manage Rollback and different Versions• Enables A/B Tests

CDN für Web Apps

• CDN support for Websiteshttp://blog.smarx.com/posts/using-the-windows-azure-cdn-for-your-web-application

– Default URL: http://foo.cloudapp.net/default.aspx

– CDN URL: http://azXXXX.vo.msecnd.net/default.aspx

– Cached from: http://foo.cloudapp.net/cdn/default.aspx

• CNAME & HTTPS support• Important! The „cache control headers“ must be edited
