doctl compute cdn create

Generated on 9 Apr 2025 from doctl version v1.124.0

Usage

doctl compute cdn create <cdn-origin> [flags]

Aliases

Description

Creates a Content Delivery Network (CDN) on the origin server you specify and automatically generates an endpoint. You can also use a custom subdomain you own to create an additional endpoint, which must be secured with SSL.

The Time To Live (TTL) value is the length of time in seconds that a file is cached by the CDN before being refreshed. If a request to access a file occurs after the TTL has expired, the CDN delivers the file by requesting it directly from the origin URL, re-caching the file, and resetting the TTL.

Example

The following example creates a CDN for the custom domain cdn.example.com using a DigitalOcean Spaces origin endpoint and SSL certificate ID for the custom domain:

doctl compute cdn create https://tester-two.blr1.digitaloceanspaces.com --domain cdn.example.com --certificate-id f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6
