I have a static website running in Azure blob storage. I have created a CDN Profile and a CDN endpoint. I have bought a domain in GoDaddy. I am trying the configure the DNS settings and I am not sure what to give in the DNS A record. Please, can somebody help?

My static website: https://akshayastorage.z30.web.core.windows.net/ My CDN endpoint: https://akshayacdn.azureedge.net

My GoDaddy DNS mapping

CNAME akshaya.org.in akshayacdn.azureedge.net 1 Hour CNAME cdnverify akshayacdn.azureedge.net 1 Hour

If you need to find the IP address of the static website, you can directly use nslookup or ping akshayastorage.z30.web.core.windows.net in the CMD. Is this what you want? – Nancy Xiong
Nancy, if I ping that it gives me a different ip. It seems like, azure doesn't give a static IP address to the static website in azure blob storage.i am wondering is there a workaround for this? – Prasanna Srikanth

You can directly ping akshayastorage.z30.web.core.windows.net to get the IP address of your static website in Azure blob storage. You can upvote this feedback as providing static or reserved IP addresses for storage accounts is on Azure backlog.

As a workaround, you can host your website on an Azure VM with a static IP address. It works like a traditional on-premise machine but migrates your infrastructure on the Azure platform. Read here for more details.
