Step 3: In the CDN Profile account blade, specify the desired configuration for the CDN Profileaccount (Name, Location, Resource Group & Pricing tier). Click Create button at the bottom of the screen to create the CDN Profile.

After you click Create, you'll get your new CDN Profile being configured on the dashboard.

Create a new CDN endpoint
