Steps for Creating a Service

In order to create a service, you should follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your IO River account
  2. Under the CDN Providers tab, add your CDN. For more information, see Adding a CDN Account.
  3. Under the Certificates tab, either create or add a certificate. For more information, see Creating a certificate.
  4. Under the Services tab, choose Add Service.
  5. Fiil the new service form:
    • Name - Provide a name for your service
    • Domain - The domain name you would like to use for the service. More domains can be added later.
    • Origin - The origin server you would like to use in this service.
    • Certificate - Select the certificate to be used with this service. Note that the certificate needs to match the domain name.
  6. Click on Save
  7. The new service should now appear in the Services tab. Choose the new created service in order to add your CDN provider.
  8. Under the CDN Providers tab, select your CDN provider from the list, and click on Add. Deployment of the CDN is done in the background and may take some time depending on the CDN provider. You can track the status of it by clicking on the Tasks icon (next to the profile icon).

Once deployed, in order to access your content, you will need to set up a traffic policy and direct your domain to the service CNAME. For more information see Testing your Service.
