Errors when Purging Azure Front Door and CDN Endpoints

Introduction

I host my website using Azure Blob Storage's static website feature along with Azure Front Door and CDN. When using GitHub Actions to deploy changes, I need to execute az cdn endpoint purge to reflect those updates.

However, under certain conditions, this command fails with the following error:

ERROR: (BadRequest) The requested operation cannot be executed on the entity in the current state.

Solution

Ensure that your Azure Front Door and CDN endpoint are in a running state.

Conclusion

When an Azure subscription is resumed after exceeding its free tier limit, the endpoint remains in a stopped state. While this situation is rare, if you encounter the same issue, please check the status of your endpoint.
