Azure Static Website with Custom Domain via Azure Storage account and CDN

2022-09-23 azureazure-storagecloud-network

This diagram shows you how to setup a static website on Azure using Azure Storage account and Azure CDN.

Azure Storage account supports Static website capability and also allows you to bind a custom domain to access the content. For HTTP only, you can just use built-in Azure Storage account capabilities; for HTTPS, we can have to use Azure Front Door or Azure CDN (classic) services.

For HTTPS, we can add a custom domain for the Azure CDN endpoint. As part of that setup, we can also choose CDN managed certificate or our own certificate as the following screenshot shows:
