Microsoft Azure Cdn
Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) caches static web content at strategically placed edge locations to deliver it to users with maximum throughput and minimum latency. The product is operated through the Microsoft.Cdn Azure Resource Manager resource provider, a 115-operation REST contract on management.azure.com that manages CDN profiles, delivery endpoints, origins, origin groups, custom domains and web application firewall policies, and that also serves the Azure Front Door Standard and Premium resource family. Authentication is Microsoft Entra ID OAuth 2.0 with authorization decided by Azure RBAC. Azure CDN Standard from Microsoft (classic) is on a published retirement path: it stopped accepting new instances in 2025 and retires on 30 September 2027, with Microsoft directing customers to Azure Front Door and shipping a validate/migrate/commit API path for the move.
Microsoft Azure Cdn publishes 18 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including microsoft-azure-cdn Operations API, microsoft-azure-cdn Profiles API, AFD Domains API, and 15 more. Tagged areas include CDN, Edge, Caching, Cloud Infrastructure, and Networking.
The Microsoft Azure Cdn catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Microsoft Azure Cdn’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, pricing, support, engineering blog, documentation, API reference, and 45 more developer resources.

Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Network Edge (CDN, networking, peering, edge compute) | undeclared | - | - | - |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
