# What is a content delivery network on Azure?
21
-
A content delivery network (CDN) is a distributed network of servers that can efficiently deliver web content to users. CDNs store cached content on edge servers in point-of-presence (POP) locations that are close to end users, to minimize latency.

23
-
Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) offers developers a global solution for rapidly delivering high-bandwidth content to users by caching their content at strategically placed physical nodes across the world. Azure CDN can also accelerate dynamic content, which cannot be cached, by leveraging various network optimizations using CDN POPs. For example, route optimization to bypass Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).

1. A user (Alice) requests a file (also called an asset) by using a URL with a special domain name, such as _<endpoint name>_.azureedge.net. This name can be an endpoint hostname or a custom domain. The DNS routes the request to the best performing POP location, which is usually the POP that is geographically closest to the user.

4. An edge server in the POP caches the file and returns the file to the original requestor (Alice). The file remains cached on the edge server in the POP until the time-to-live (TTL) specified by its HTTP headers expires. If the origin server didn't specify a TTL, the default TTL is seven days.

## Requirements
49
46
* To use Azure CDN, you must own at least one Azure subscription.
50
47
* You also need to create a CDN profile, which is a collection of CDN endpoints. Every CDN endpoint is a specific configuration which users can customize with required content delivery behavior and access. To organize your CDN endpoints by internet domain, web application, or some other criteria, you can use multiple profiles.
51
-
* Since [Azure CDN pricing](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/cdn/)is applied at the CDN profile level, you must create multiple CDN profiles if you want to use a mix of pricing tiers. For information about the Azure CDN billing structure, see [Understanding Azure CDN billing](cdn-billing.md).

### Limitations
51

54
52
Each Azure subscription has default limits for the following resources:
55
-
- The number of CDN profiles that can be created.
56
-
- The number of endpoints that can be created in a CDN profile.
57
-
- The number of custom domains that can be mapped to an endpoint.

- The number of CDN profiles created.
