SharePoint, Brand Center and CDN questions
I'm hoping someone can help me untangle the new Brand Center and the CDNs it is using
My understanding:
You can create Org Asset Libraries that use private CDNs
The Brand Center requires the use of a public CDN
You can have an existing org asset library in place when you create the brand center, and the brand center will use the site where the existing org asset libraries are as the brand center app/site
BUT - you have to enable the use of the public CDN when adding brand center to the org asset site. This is the part I haven't found documentation detailing the public vs private CDNs used for this feature.
Questions:
What content is being broadcast on the public CDN when you create a brand center from scratch? Is it just the fonts, or are other assets created with the brand center utilizing the public CDN?
Do org asset libraries using private CDNs continue to use private CDNs after adding the brand center or are the private CDNs converted to public CDNs?
Can you add more private CDN org asset libraries to an existing brand center, or are all asset libraries created going forward using the public CDN?

Hello mjbaird
My understanding is: the SharePoint brand center uses a Public CDN to store and deliver your custom fonts to your sites and pages. Only the custom fonts you upload and manage in the brand center requires the Public CDN.
You will still be able to create both public and private CDN enabled organization asset libraries as normal using PowerShell. There are also no changes to any existing organization asset libraries in your tenant due to configuring the SharePoint brand center.
Another consideration, if you are looking to use the SharePoint brand center only for managing organization themes, these will not utilize the public CDN, however you still have to accept the potential use of Public CDN for custom fonts in order to create the SharePoint brand center.
Hope that helps, CathyHello mjbaird
