CDN Quick Start
Our CDN service, built in cooperation with Dusksify, provides a simple way to distribute your assets efficiently across the world by leveraging the Akamai delivery network to offer world-class performance.
The CDN service will allow you to make content hosted our S3-compatible Simple Object Storage service available through our CDN endpoint.
Subscribing to the CDN service
If you wish to subscribe to Exoscale CDN you only need to request the service activation on one or more buckets in the Simple Object Storage interface.
The CDN service activation must be processed by our support team and will only be handled during our support opening hours.
Once you receive the activation confirmation, your content is normally available through the CDN endpoint after an hour.
Accessing your content through the CDN network
Once activated, the content will be available on the following endpoint: https://{bucket_name}.{zone}.exoscale-cdn.com
.
Zone | Endpoint |
---|---|
AT-VIE1 | https://bucket_name.at-vie1.exoscale-cdn.com |
BG-SOF1 | https://bucket_name.bg-sof1.exoscale-cdn.com |
CH-GVA2 | https://bucket_name.ch-gva2.exoscale-cdn.com |
CH-DK2 | https://bucket_name.ch-dk2.exoscale-cdn.com |
DE-FRA1 | https://bucket_name.de-fra1.exoscale-cdn.com |
DE-MUC1 | https://bucket_name.de-muc1.exoscale-cdn.com |
Limitations
The current service iteration has the following limitations:
- The source content must be hosted on Exoscale Simple Object Storage Service
- Using vanity domain for the CDN endpoint is not supported
- The CDN cache cannot be explicitely purged and other strategies must be used to manage the cache lifecycle
- Buckets with dots in their names cannot be served through the CDN
Cancelling the service
The CDN service is only charged based on the volume of traffic sent through the CDN endpoint. An active unused configuration will not produce any charges if there is no traffic. If you want to completely disable the CDN service, you can open a support request with our support team to desactivate your configurations.
