Configure the Embedded CDN

The embedded CDN (eCDN) is a geographically distributed network of proxy servers. Configuring the eCDN improves availability and performance, ultimately enhancing the ability to scale your site (or sites).

  1. Configure a Hostname Alias
    A hostname alias is required if you want to create short, meaningful URLs for external search engines to index. Assign at least one hostname alias that is the current hostname on which the instance is running.
  2. Create a Zone
    The CDN configuration is organized around zones. A zone represents a root or apex domain (for example, shop.com). A hostname is a subdomain of a specific zone (for example, www.shop.com).
  3. Add a Certificate to a Zone and Configure DNS Mapping
    Add certificates to your hostnames for Zones, and map your origin endpoints.
  4. Update a Zone Certificate
    When your certificate expires, or you have to update the hostnames assigned to a certificate, update the certificate.
  5. Configure a Zone
    When you configure a zone, the settings apply to all hostnames within the zone, regardless of where the hostname was configured (instance or realm).
  6. Add Hostnames (Subdomains)
    Subdomains of the same zone can be configured on the same Salesforce B2C Commerce instance, or on different instances of different realms of the same retailer.
