Prerequisites

  • An active Cloud CDN plan.
  • A selected project.
  • A publicly reachable origin hostname or IP address.
  • Permission to create origin groups and distributions.
1

Create an origin group

Open Cloud CDN → Origin groups → Create origin group. Enter a name and add an enabled origin. Enter the hostname or IP without http:// or https://; use a port only when it differs from 80 or 443.
2

Create a distribution

Open Cloud CDN → Distributions → Create distribution. Choose the origin group and select the origin connection protocol. Use HTTPS when the origin supports a valid certificate.
3

Wait for provisioning

Open the distribution after its status becomes active. Copy its Aptranet hostname and request a known path.
4

Set cache and TLS behavior

Review Cache, TLS, and Origin before production traffic. Keep authenticated and private responses out of shared cache.
5

Attach a custom hostname

Add the hostname under Network, save the configuration, and point its DNS record to the distribution hostname. Wait for the hostname and certificate state to become available before enforcing HTTPS.
6

Verify delivery

Request the custom hostname, validate status and headers, and check analytics after traffic arrives.
Do not move production DNS until the distribution works on its Aptranet hostname and the custom hostname is provisioned.
