# doctl compute cdn

Generated on 8 Oct 2026 from `doctl` version [`v1.179.0`](https://github.com/digitalocean/doctl/releases/tag/v1.179.0)

## Description

The subcommands of `doctl compute cdn` are for managing Content Delivery Networks (CDNs).

Content hosted in DigitalOcean’s object storage solution, Spaces, can optionally be served by our globally distributed CDNs. This allows you to deliver content to users based on their geographic location.

To use a custom subdomain to access the CDN endpoint, provide the ID of a DigitalOcean-managed TLS certificate and the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the custom subdomain.
