The Azure portal had emailed us that the Azure CDN from Edgio would be retiring, and that since Edgio had gone into bankruptcy, service continuity was iffy. Their "recommended replacement" Azure Front Door Standard or Premium, looked pricey:
Front Door seems to have a minimum monthly cost of $35,
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/frontdoor/
So, instead, shall I just migrate the content elsewhere?
Currently, only old issues of a newsletter seems to be on cdn.ourdomain.org - content being served from a particular storage container.
I could move all the stuff there to a github pages repository instead, and map cdn.ourdomain.org to that - Github pages is free, (limited to 2 GB per repository).
Another option is that I can configure a cheap VM to point to the relevant container, mounting the container with blobfuse -

Looking at the size of the content, which was only 780 MB of archival content and not expected to grow, thought of going with github pages.
Created a github pages repository,
put all the files there,
and changed cdn.ourdomain.org CNAME record to point there instead of the CDN.
Tested with google site:cdn.ourdomain.org for old cached links, working with the new site - like
http://cdn.ourdomain.org/sssihms/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/nameoffile.pdf
OK.
