Are you trying to understand what the CDN is and how can you use it? For me I think of a CDN as a DFS in Azure. I think many of us traditional IT folks look for ways to relate on-prem IT and our understanding of it to Cloud based IT.
When we think of our On-Prem server environment where by we want to have a single repository of data that is then replicated round to other servers on separate network sections. Just like the DFS distributes content to separate locations the CDN does exactly the same thing.
So can I place all content into a CDN? Well not quite. The CDN really is for static content, content that does not change too much. If you use the CDN with Azure websites its possible to take images. Azure can only cache data that is tagged as publicly cacheable, so you need to change the cache-control HTTP header.
Infront's own Richard Green wrote a great guide on CDN's that I was a reviewer on.
