Novin Cloud CDN Service

Novin Cloud's CDN service routes your site's traffic through Novin Cloud's network to speed up load times, reduce load on your origin server, and add a layer of protection in front of your service.

Core concepts

Concept	Description
Gateway	The main unit of the service; each of your sites or services has one gateway
Upstream	Your origin server, where content is read from
Location	A routing rule: which URL path goes to which upstream
TLS	The SSL certificate used to serve your site over https
WAF	Rules that protect against malicious traffic

How it works

1. Create a gateway.
2. Add an upstream (the address of your origin server).
3. Define a location to determine which path goes to which upstream.
4. Add firewall rules if needed.
