My Azure CDN does not appear to be correctly mapped to my Storage Container Blob data.
Storage
I've created a Storage, which is online:
Inside is a Storage Container:
My Storage Container has blobs defined, which are functional:
- http://jasonsturges.blob.core.windows.net/cdn/audio/2-3rds-hertz/bills.mp3
- http://jasonsturges.blob.core.windows.net/cdn/audio/2-3rds-hertz/cams.mp3
From Visual Studio, I've connected to my Azure via Server Explorer and set the Public Read Access to Container:
So, everything seems okay from a Storage perspective.
CDN
Creating a new CDN, it maps from my Storage Origin Domain:
- Origin Domain: http://jasonsturges.blob.core.windows.net/
- CDN URL: http://az712698.vo.msecnd.net/
However, when I try to access blobs via the CDN name or DNS record I have created I simply receive a 404.
- CDN: http://az712698.vo.msecnd.net/cdn/audio/2-3rds-hertz/bills.mp3
- DNS: http://cdn.jasonsturges.com/cdn/audio/2-3rds-hertz/bills.mp3
One thing I find strange is that the CDN endpoint only gives a 404; whereas the Storage will return json errors. For example, resource not found errors:
Storage endpoint resource not found:
From the CDN, this will only show 404
It's been a few hours, which should have allowed the CDN to propagate.
Why do my CDN endpoints fail to load Storage?

Make sure you've made your container public. In your Azure portal go to Storage, select your store and then select your 'Containers' tab. From here select the container you want and click 'Edit' from the menu at the bottom. This triggers a popup where you can set your access to public.
