Description
Flushes the cache of a Content Delivery Network (CDN), which:
- purges all copies of the files in the cache
- re-caches the files
- retrieves files from the origin server for any requests that hit the CDN endpoint until all the files are re-cached
This ensures that recently updated files on the origin server are immediately available via the CDN.
To purge specific files, you can use the --files
flag and supply a path to the file in the Spaces bucket. The path may be for a single file or may contain a wildcard (*
) to recursively purge all files under a directory. When only a wildcard is provided, or no path is provided, all cached files will be purged.
Examples:
doctl compute cdn flush
Example
The following example flushes the cache of the /path/to/assets
directory in a CDN:
doctl compute cdn flush 418b7972-fc67-41ea-ab4b-6f9477c4f7d8 --files /path/to/assets/*
