Office 365 CDN Advantages?
Microsoftquick answers for your topics.
- Benefit is the easily publishing through adding an item to a SharePoint library. From admin perspective you can easily control who can do this and getting files to the CDN is as easy as uploading them to SharePoint. In the end this service does use normal CDN providers in the background. There's also no additional costs for you on top of Office 365 subscription.
- Performance impact is hard to define, but you should see significantly faster performance related on the assets, which are getting published from the CDN
- You can technically host any static files from the CDN. aspx files are typically dynamic and would require server side handling, so those are not really usable through CDN.
Hi Vesa,
Thank you for the response.
Can we upload the aspx/html files in the sharepoint library and refer it using document library URL instead of Office 365 CDN URL?

Hi Joseph Velliah,
you can absolutely reference aspx and html pages in the SharePoint context like typically with SharePoint, without CDN usage. This is like it has been for years and CDN does not change this.
I might be now missing some scenario details around what you'd like to achieve and if so, please provide some additional details. thx.
Hi VesaJuvonen
Also we have created a custom control block to copy item url in document libraries. This will redirect the user to a aspx page hosted in CDN with some query strings and the javascript code written inside the aspx page will process the query string and update the DOM elements at run time. I am not sure this will work in Office 365 CDN.
