CDN Orchestration with IO River

IO River simplifies CDN management by allowing you to control multiple CDN providers through a single user interface. Let's explore how it works.

Connecting Your CDN Providers​

CDN Providers Screen

To connect your CDN provider, navigate to the 'CDN Providers' tab. Simply provide the access token for your chosen provider and click 'Apply.' Your CDN provider will then be added to the list of connected providers.

TLS Certificate Management​

TLS Certificates Screen

IO River centralizes TLS certificate management. You can create your certificates, upload existing ones, and IO River will handle renewals. These certificates are distributed across all selected CDN providers.

Managing Services​

Services Screen

Under the 'Services' tab, you manage portions of your traffic, which are equivalent to distributions on platforms like CloudFront or Cloudflare.

For each service, you can:

  • Configure domains
  • Manage origins for serving traffic.
  • Purge cached content
  • Control various CDN settings.

Domains setup​

Domains Screen

Configure the domains of your service.

Origin setup​

Origins Screen

Configure the origins of your service.

Cache Management​

Cache Management Screen

IO River simplifies cache management. Purge content once, and it's cleared across all platforms. You can target specific URLs or clear the entire cache.

Behaviors Configuration​

Behaviors Screen

IO River centralizes behavior settings. Define default behaviors for your CDN traffic.

Add Behavior Action

Create custom behaviors for different path patterns, each with specific actions. IO River supports a wide range of actions.

IO River goes further by adding functionality not natively supported by CDNs. For instance, if a CDN doesn't support a specific feature, IO River leverages edge computing to fill the gap. As a user, you configure actions like URL redirects, and IO River handles the rest, ensuring consistency across CDN providers.

Conclusion​

With IO River, you get a unified platform for managing complex CDN configurations effortlessly. No need to worry about differences between CDN providers or lack of native support; IO River has you covered.
