  Azure CDN has no standalone CLI. It is operated through the two first-party Azure command-line
  surfaces — the cross-platform Azure CLI (`az cdn`, plus `az afd` for the Front Door Standard/Premium
  resources the same resource provider serves) and Azure PowerShell (`Az.Cdn`). Both are generated from
  the same Microsoft.Cdn contract this repo harvests, so the command surface tracks the api-version.
