title: Azure CDN vs Direct access from blob
body: <p>I have couple of videos that i want to end user to view on my web site. These videos are transcoded to deliver HLS style streaming.</p>
  
  <p>1) Putting these videos in Azure blob, does that make the videos "Progressive download" or would it get streamed? </p>
  
  <p>2) Clients are based in India / Singapore. That means a blob location of Azure in singapore is closest. Does a CDN give me a specific advantage?</p>
  
  <p>3) Does pointing a single CDN to my blob make it accessible to all CDN across the world, or should i configure one for each geography (say for one for US if US customers come to visit my portal).</p>
  
  <p>I know that the questions are not exactly connected but i am sure you can see they are all different varieties of addressing the same problem</p>
  
  <p>Thanks much in advance
