About

Azure Content Delivery Network is a global solution for delivering high-bandwidth content by caching it at strategically placed physical nodes across the world.

Azure CDN Standard (classic) will be retired on September 30, 2027, and Microsoft advises migrating to Azure Front Door.

Fastly is a global content delivery network provider that delivers cached and dynamic web content via edge servers deployed around the world.

It operates a network of over 120 points of presence with more than 460 Tbps of connected global capacity, and offers built-in DDoS and web application firewall protection, origin shielding to reduce backend load, instant purging of cached content, and fine-grained API control over HTTP headers and caching rules.
