Looking for a CDN Solution for My Azure Student Project

Hi there! I'm currently working on a university project focused on Cloud Programming. The task is to host a simple 'hello world' website using cloud infrastructure. While it's not about the website itself, the architecture is crucial. I need to ensure: 1) High availability, 2) Fast access for global visitors, and 3) Automatic scaling of the backend during high traffic.

I've already set up a resource group and a storage container, activated static website hosting, and uploaded my index.html using Terraform. I followed Microsoft Docs and had some help from ChatGPT to get this far.

Now, I'm hitting some roadblocks. I don't have a credit card, so I can't use AWS, and I'm working with Azure for Students, but it's complicated. I've encountered issues setting up a storage container because I had to choose 'germanywestcentral' as my location, with no access to 'westeurope' or 'eastus2'.

I want to implement a CDN or Frontdoor to enhance global performance, but neither option is available with my Azure for Students subscription. Additionally, I can't select a VM Size, as all options are locked. For automatic backend scaling, I was considering Kubernetes, but that's also locked in the student version. I thought about simulating this with Minikube, but that feels way off from actual cloud infrastructure.

Is there anyone here who can suggest a workaround? I'm open to any creative ideas!
