Hi oak-dev, I want to draw your attention to OAK-7702, which discusses adding capability to the direct binary access feature to use CDN URIs instead of standard URIs. Both cloud service providers that Oak supports, Azure and AWS, offer CDN capabilities to serve content in a blob storage container. I've done some testing which I mentioned in OAK-7702 where I've learned that in most cases using a signed CDN URI instead of a standard signed URI for direct download offers equal or better throughput to using standard URIs. This appears to be true even for the first request of a blob (meaning, one that is not cached in the CDN).
If you are interested in this topic please direct your questions or comments to OAK-7702 for discussion. Thanks! -MR
