[!INCLUDE Azure CDN from Microsoft (classic) retirement notice]
PowerShell provides one of the most flexible methods to manage your Azure Content Delivery Network profiles and endpoints. You can use PowerShell interactively or by writing scripts to automate management tasks. This tutorial demonstrates several of the most common tasks you can accomplish with PowerShell to manage your Azure Content Delivery Network profiles and endpoints.
[!INCLUDE updated-for-az]
To use PowerShell to manage your Azure Content Delivery Network profiles and endpoints, you must have the Azure PowerShell module installed. To learn how to install Azure PowerShell and connect to Azure using the Connect-AzAccount
cmdlet, see How to install and configure Azure PowerShell.
Important
You must log in with Connect-AzAccount
before you can execute Azure PowerShell cmdlets.
You can list all the Azure Content Delivery Network cmdlets using the Get-Command
cmdlet.
PS C:\> Get-Command -Module Az.Cdn CommandType Name Version Source ----------- ---- ------- ------ Cmdlet Confirm-AzCdnEndpointProbeURL 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet Disable-AzCdnCustomDomain 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet Disable-AzCdnCustomDomainHttps 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet Enable-AzCdnCustomDomain 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet Enable-AzCdnCustomDomainHttps 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet Get-AzCdnCustomDomain 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet Get-AzCdnEdgeNode 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet Get-AzCdnEndpoint 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet Get-AzCdnEndpointResourceUsage 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet Get-AzCdnOrigin 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet Get-AzCdnProfile 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet Get-AzCdnProfileResourceUsage 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet Get-AzCdnProfileSupportedOptimizationType 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet Get-AzCdnSubscriptionResourceUsage 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet New-AzCdnCustomDomain 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet New-AzCdnDeliveryPolicy 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet New-AzCdnDeliveryRule 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet New-AzCdnDeliveryRuleAction 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet New-AzCdnDeliveryRuleCondition 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet New-AzCdnEndpoint 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet New-AzCdnProfile 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet Remove-AzCdnCustomDomain 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet Remove-AzCdnEndpoint 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet Remove-AzCdnProfile 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet Set-AzCdnProfile 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet Start-AzCdnEndpoint 2.1.0 Az.Cdn Cmdlet Stop-AzCdnEndpoint 2.1.0 Az.Cdn
You can get help with any of these cmdlets using the Get-Help
cmdlet. Get-Help
provides usage and syntax, and optionally shows examples.
PS C:\> Get-Help Get-AzCdnProfile NAME Get-AzCdnProfile SYNOPSIS Gets an Azure CDN profile. SYNTAX Get-AzCdnProfile [-ProfileName <String>] [-ResourceGroupName <String>] [-InformationAction <ActionPreference>] [-InformationVariable <String>] [<CommonParameters>] DESCRIPTION Gets an Azure CDN profile and all related information. RELATED LINKS https://learn.microsoft.com/powershell/module/az.cdn/get-azcdnprofile REMARKS To see the examples, type: "get-help Get-AzCdnProfile -examples". For more information, type: "get-help Get-AzCdnProfile -detailed". For technical information, type: "get-help Get-AzCdnProfile -full". For online help, type: "get-help Get-AzCdnProfile -online"
The Get-AzCdnProfile
cmdlet without any parameters retrieves all your existing content delivery network profiles.
Get-AzCdnProfile
This output can be piped to cmdlets for enumeration.
# Output the name of all profiles on this subscription.Get-AzCdnProfile|ForEach-Object { Write-Host$_.Name }
You can also return a single profile by specifying the profile name and resource group.
Get-AzCdnProfile-ProfileName CdnDemo -ResourceGroupName CdnDemoRG
Tip
It is possible to have multiple content delivery network profiles with the same name, so long as they are in different resource groups. Omitting the ResourceGroupName
parameter returns all profiles with a matching name.
Get-AzCdnEndpoint
can retrieve an individual endpoint or all the endpoints on a profile.
# Get a single endpoint.Get-AzCdnEndpoint-ProfileName CdnDemo -ResourceGroupName CdnDemoRG -EndpointName cdndocdemo # Get all of the endpoints on a given profile. Get-AzCdnEndpoint-ProfileName CdnDemo -ResourceGroupName CdnDemoRG
New-AzCdnProfile
and New-AzCdnEndpoint
are used to create content delivery network profiles and endpoints. The following SKUs are supported:
- Standard_Verizon
- Premium_Verizon
- Custom_Verizon
- Standard_Microsoft
- Standard_ChinaCdn
# Create a new profileNew-AzCdnProfile-ProfileName CdnPoshDemo -ResourceGroupName CdnDemoRG -Sku Standard_Microsoft -Location "Central US"# Create a new endpoint$origin=@{ Name="Contoso"HostName="www.contoso.com" }; New-AzCdnEndpoint-ProfileName CdnPoshDemo -ResourceGroupName CdnDemoRG -Location "Central US"-EndpointName cdnposhdoc -Origin $origin
New-AzCdnCustomDomain
adds a custom domain name to an existing endpoint.
Important
You must set up the CNAME with your DNS provider as described in How to map Custom Domain to Content Delivery Network endpoint. You can test the mapping before modifying your endpoint using Test-AzCdnCustomDomain
.
# Create the custom domain on the endpointNew-AzCdnCustomDomain-ResourceGroupName CdnDemoRG -ProfileName CdnPoshDemo -Name contoso -HostName "cdn.contoso.com"-EndpointName cdnposhdoc
Update-AzCdnEndpoint
modifies an existing endpoint.
# Update endpoint with compression settingsUpdate-AzCdnEndpoint-Name cdnposhdoc -ProfileName CdnPoshDemo -ResourceGroupName CdnDemoRG -IsCompressionEnabled -ContentTypesToCompress "text/javascript","text/css","application/json"
Clear-AzCdnEndpointContent
purges cached assets.
# Purge some assets.Clear-AzCdnEndpointContent-ProfileName CdnPoshDemo -ResourceGroupName CdnDemoRG -EndpointName cdnposhdoc -ContentFilePath @("/images/kitten.png","/video/rickroll.mp4")
Start-AzCdnEndpoint
and Stop-AzCdnEndpoint
can be used to start and stop individual endpoints or groups of endpoints.
# Stop the CdnPoshDemo endpointStop-AzCdnEndpoint-ProfileName CdnPoshDemo -ResourceGroupName CdnDemoRG -Name cdnposhdoc # Start the CdnPoshDemo endpointStart-AzCdnEndpoint-ProfileName CdnPoshDemo -ResourceGroupName CdnDemoRG -Name cdnposhdoc

Remove-AzCdnProfile
and Remove-AzCdnEndpoint
can be used to remove profiles and endpoints.
