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.

Rackspace CDN is a content delivery network service powered by the Akamai network that accelerates website content and media delivery by caching assets on over 200 edge nodes.

It provides origin-pull acceleration for entire sites, pre-fetching for dynamic content, origin protection against DDoS, multiple origin support including non-Rackspace servers, and selective subdomain caching.
