AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator Full Course - CDN Benefits

Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) are distributed networks of servers that efficiently deliver content to users by storing cached content on edge servers close to end users. CDNs are primarily used for delivering static content like images and scripts, offering benefits such as lower latency and faster content delivery regardless of geographical location. They reduce server load by handling content requests and can serve entire websites with public static content. CDNs also support IoT devices and help manage demand peaks without scaling applications, thus reducing costs. Overall, CDNs enhance user experience by providing faster and more responsive content delivery.
