I have registered a Microsoft.cdn in my subscription but yet can't seem to create an Azure CDN profile. I can only see front door but i want CDN services. How do i go about it?

    Hi Gladys Dalla,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your query here!

    Here are a few steps you can take to identify the issue:

    1. Subscription support: Most Azure subscriptions do support Azure CDN, but some special or trial subscriptions might limit available services.
    2. Azure portal search: In the Azure portal, try searching Front Door and CDN profiles under Create a resource. Azure now groups CDN and Front Door in this experience.
    3. Create your CDN profile: From the profiles page, select Explore other offerings to create classic or modern Azure CDN profiles as needed.
    4. Azure Front Door vs CDN: If you only see Azure Front Door options, keep in mind Front Door and CDN are different services. Front Door handles web traffic routing and security, while CDN focuses on content caching and delivery. Both can co-exist in your subscription.
    5. Documentation to get started:

    Important note: Azure CDN Standard from Microsoft (classic) is retiring by September 30, 2027. Starting October 1st, 2025, new domain onboarding and profile creation for this classic CDN will be disabled. You might consider planning migration to Azure Front Door Standard or Premium for new deployments.
