Hi, I’m using Azure containers to store the input and output files. When the encoding process is finished and when I need to get the URL of the manifest, what is recommended to expose it?  
I read that a CDN should be configured instead of accessing the container with a SAS token. Is it correct?

Thanks

Hi @gamez.julian ,  
Yes, ideally, your content should be delivered through a CDN.  
I found a tutorial showing how to enable CDN on top of an Azure Storage.

> **[Quickstart: Integrate an Azure Storage account with Azure CDN](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cdn/cdn-create-a-storage-account-with-cdn)**
>
> In this quickstart, learn how to use the Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) to deliver high-bandwidth content by caching blobs from Azure Storage.

Please let us know how it goes.
