How to Manage Expiration of Blob Content in the Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN)
From Yggenyk
CDN caches items where a cache value is not set for the default TTL of 7 days.
CDN is best for static content with a high cache hit ratio.
CDN would still cache the content, unless the cache-expiry passes, or the file name changes.
Using CDN for dynamic content is not recommended, because it causes the user to wait for a double hop from storage to cdn and from cdn to user.

- Put Blob - The Put Blob operation creates a new block blob or page blob, or updates the content of an existing block blob.

You also pay twice the bandwidth on the initial load.
You can check the TTL using wget.exe of Fiddler:
wget.exe --server-response --spider [URL]
If the response says:
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... HTTP/1.1 200 OK ... Cache-Control: 3600 ...
the item will be cashed for 36000 seconds = 1 hour.
