Automate CDN actions such as endpoint purge

Frank LaRosa 1

I want to automate certain CDN actions in my deploy scripts. For example, I want to run "cdn endpoint purge" whenever new builds of a web application are deployed.

The problem I'm running in to is that not all of the machines where the script runs are logged in to Azure. So I want to be able to embed an account key in the command, but this isn't working for CDN commands.

With other commands, such as storage blob commands, I can include --account-name and --account-key on the command line so they work regardless of whether the person running the command has logged in.

How can I do this with the cdn endpoint commands?

@Frank LaRosa We apologize for the delay in response.

Could you confirm if you mean backend virtual machines here --> The problem I'm running in to is that not all of the machines where the script runs are logged in to Azure. So I want to be able to embed an account key in the command, but this isn't working for CDN commands.

No, not backend machines, we run deploy scripts from our workstations usually.
