title: static html files on azure blob storage as site architecture
body: <p>Recently I've moved my website to Azure and learned of azure blob storage. My site contains a lot of static html files. Currently the files are generated by content admins and stored in specific folders, e.g. <code>/articles/some-article.html</code>. Is this a good idea, architecture and seo wise, to store those files as blobs and serve them to public users directly from the cdn? (change the links from <code>example.com/articles/some-article.html</code> to <code>cdn.example.com/articles/some-aritcle.html</code>).</p>
  
  <h2>UPDATE</h2>
  
  <p>The html files will be directly consumed by public users. They will access them via links or direct url. Simply speaking, it's just about migrating static html articles/blog posts to azure blob storage instead of keeping them in a folder on the website server. They are standalone html files, that are rarely if at all rewritten. To further clarify, a user will browse a dynamic page, <code>example.com/articles</code> (mvc 5 website), and in that page there will be a list of links to the blobs: </p>
