Migrate an Azure Content Delivery Network profile from Standard Edgio to Premium Edgio
When you create an Azure Content Delivery Network profile to manage your endpoints, Azure Content Delivery Network offers four different products for you to choose from. For information about the different products and their available features, see Compare Azure Content Delivery Network product features.
If you've create an Azure CDN Standard from Edgio profile and are using it to manage your content delivery network endpoints, you can upgrade it to an Azure CDN Premium from Edgio profile. When you upgrade, your content delivery network endpoints and all of your data gets preserved.
Important
Once you've upgraded to an Azure CDN Premium from Edgio profile, you cannot later convert it back to an Azure CDN Standard from Edgio profile.
