well, this is highly disappointing. I'm facing the exact same issue. there's no way you can get past this.
azure is telling me that akami CDN cannot be created with PayAsYouGo subscriptions. I tried with free trial/PayAsYouGo/Student/VisualStudioEnterprises. all of them not able to create.
Azure documentation mention only Azure Enterprises Agreement Subscription can use akami CDN. but there's no such subscription available. nor account can be upgraded to EA subscription. support team. please clarify this. this is important.
