BlobStorage to allow custom domain when using Akamai as CDN

I am trying to use my blob account as origin in Akamai CDN, (note : not AZURE CDN), I want to it to accept a custom domain as incoming host header, and not origin name.
Since, I have to CNAME my domain name : psumedha.davidbartosh.com to an Akamai endpoint, I am not sure how I will be able to allow the custom domain in here for my blob account. (since I can't map my domain name to blob directly, it's CNAMED to Akamai)
I do have a way to send Origin name as forward host header to Azure Blob from Akamai , but unfortunately my solution restricts me from doing that. It will be really helpful if anyone can confirm what I am trying is even possible?

Azure Blob Storage
Azure Blob Storage
An Azure service that stores unstructured data in the cloud as blobs.

    After doing some digging it does not appear your solution would work as configured. As you have already found setting a CNAME is a requirement to map a custom domain to Azure blob storage. I am not familiar with Akamai CDN, but it seems like a user was able to do something similar with CloudFlare. Perhaps reaching out to Akamai to see if that is an option? Otherwise you would need to accomplish this by using Azure CDN.

    Hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions or issues and I will do my best to help.
