CDN Integration

Use a CDN distribution with an Object Storage Bucket origin to put a global cache in front of your bucket. Static files, media, and other assets are served from edge nodes closer to your users, reducing latency and origin load.

CDN distributions are managed under Network & Security → CDN in the portal. For the full reference — including custom origins, every cache policy, custom domains, and troubleshooting — see Network & Security → CDN.

Before you begin

Front a bucket with the CDN

1

1. Open CDN

3. Fill in the fields

FieldValue
Namee.g. assets-prod
Origin TypeObject Storage Bucket
Select a bucketPick the bucket to front (use the searchable dropdown)
Cache PolicyStatic Assets for long-lived assets, or Media Files for video/audio
4

4. Save

Click Create Distribution. The distribution is provisioned and assigned a CDN URL like dl-{hash}.cdn.ibee.ai with an automatic SSL certificate.

To serve the CDN from your own hostname (e.g. cdn.example.com) instead of the default dl-{hash}.cdn.ibee.ai, create a CNAME record from your subdomain to cname.cdn.ibee.ai, then click Add Domain on the distribution’s detail page — see CDN → Custom domains. Don’t use the bucket’s own Custom Domains setting for this: a bucket custom domain serves the bucket directly and bypasses the CDN cache.
