Create a CDN resource

A CDN resource is a set of settings that determine how content will flow from the source to CDN servers and be sent from there to end users.

You can specify your source of content as the content source — the domain or IP address of the site, or a container in the object store.

When you create a CDN resource, a default domain like *.selcdn.net is automatically created for it, from which the content will be distributed. If you want to use your own domain, connect a personal domain after creating the resource.
