Azion Content Delivery
Azion Content Delivery accelerates content using distributed infrastructure, caching and serverless functions, with stated delivery latency below 30 ms. It includes image optimization, Origin Shield, a web application firewall and DDoS protection. Caching controls cover browser and edge expiration, large files, cookie or query-string behavior, tiered cache and real-time purge; connectors can link applications to HTTP origins or Object Storage. Azion says its infrastructure can provide up to 10× higher performance than traditional solutions and reduce cloud costs by up to 80%, which are stated potential outcomes. The Hobby plan costs nothing and includes global infrastructure, functions, storage, databases, image optimization and DDoS protection, subject to usage and resource limits. Pro costs $25 a month, billed monthly, and can be cancelled anytime. Enterprise pricing is custom. Annual billing requires a 12-month commitment and full upfront payment.
