External Storage
As the Resource origin, on the External URL tab, you can specify the IP address or URL of the external storage, cloud or physical, hosted by you or third-party hosting, where the files you plan to distribute from anycast CDN are stored, as shown in the image above.
Keep in mind: We provide a native cloud storage solution that works seamlessly with Anycast CDN and Video CDN. This is the simplest, fastest, and most reliable option, fully optimized and supported out of the box.
Our Anycast CDN allows you to use private object storage buckets as an origin. This means your content can remain securely stored in a private bucket while still being delivered globally through the CDN.
In addition to native storage, we support external S3-compatible object storage providers. External private buckets cannot be connected to the CDN directly.
To solve this, we automatically deploy a secure gateway service between the CDN and your storage - a highly reliable and low-maintenance approach.
Supported providers in the first release:
Amazon S3
Wasabi
Backblaze B2
DigitalOcean Spaces
Object Storage (S3-compatible)
MinIO
Upcoming support:
Azure Blob Storage (next iteration)
