Multi-CDN
The Multi CDN module allows you to manage CDN profiles for content delivery across different providers. CDN profiles define how video content is distributed and can be configured globally or for specific projects.
The available CDN providers and profile options may depend on the account configuration and booked modules. Access to the Multi CDN module is controlled by user permissions. Users who do not have the required rights may not see the module or may have limited access to create and manage CDN profiles.
This module is designed to support flexible delivery strategies, allowing content to be routed through different CDN providers depending on geographical, operational, or project-specific requirements.
From the Multi CDN area, users can:
View existing CDN profiles
Create new CDN profiles
Assign profiles globally or to individual projects
Select the CDN provider used for delivery
Review provider recommendations and usage guidance
The Multi CDN module is available from the main navigation under Modules.
CDN Profile Overview
The Multi CDN overview displays all configured CDN profiles in a structured table.
Each row represents one CDN profile and includes the most relevant information:
Thumbnail or provider preview
Unique profile ID
Profile title
Assigned project
CDN provider
Creation date
The list supports sorting and filtering, making it easier to manage multiple CDN configurations.
Available tabs include:
All CDN Profiles Shows all CDN profiles available in the account.
Global CDN Profiles Shows CDN profiles that are available across all projects.
Project Specific CDN Profiles Shows CDN profiles assigned to individual projects only.
At the top of the list, the following controls are available:
Search to find CDN profiles by name or related metadata
Project filter to narrow the list to a specific project
Provider filter to filter profiles by CDN provider
Add CDN Profile to create a new CDN configuration
Creating a CDN Profile
To create a new CDN profile:
Open Modules in the main navigation.
Select Multi CDN.
Click Add CDN Profile.
The Create Notification side panel opens.
Enter a Title for the CDN profile.
Optionally add a Description.
Select a CDN Provider.
Define the profile availability.
Save the profile.
The new CDN profile will appear in the overview after creation.
Provider Selection
When creating or editing a CDN profile, a CDN provider must be selected.
Available providers include:
3Q
Akamai
Wangsu
The provider selection determines which CDN infrastructure is used for content delivery.
The interface also provides additional provider information to help users choose the most suitable CDN for their use case.
Provider guidance includes:
3Q Optimized for performance in Europe and North America.
Akamai Recommended for global delivery scenarios without a specific geographical focus.
Wangsu Optimized for performance in China.
This information is displayed in the Multi-CDN Provider information panel and can be used as guidance when configuring delivery strategies.
Availability
CDN profiles can be configured with different availability scopes.
Available options are:
Available in All Projects The CDN profile can be used across all projects in the account.
Only Available in One Project The CDN profile is assigned to a specific project only.
Use global availability for general delivery configurations that should be reused across projects. Use project-specific availability when a CDN setup is only required for a particular project, customer, region, or use case.
Project-Specific CDN Profiles
When a CDN profile is limited to a single project, the project assignment defines where the profile can be used.
This is useful for workflows where individual projects require different delivery configurations, for example:
Regional streaming requirements
Customer-specific CDN setups
Dedicated event or livestream configurations
Testing alternative CDN providers
Separating production and internal delivery workflows
Project-specific profiles are listed under the Project Specific CDN Profiles tab.
Global CDN Profiles
Global CDN profiles are available across all projects in the account.
They are useful when the same CDN configuration should be reused consistently for multiple projects.
Typical use cases include:
Standard account-wide CDN delivery
Default delivery configuration
Shared fallback profiles
Common delivery strategies for multiple teams or departments
Global profiles are listed under the Global CDN Profiles tab.
Managing Existing CDN Profiles
Existing CDN profiles are displayed in the Multi CDN overview.
From the list, users can review:
Profile title
Assigned project
Selected provider
Creation date
Depending on user permissions, existing profiles can be opened and adjusted.
Changes to CDN profiles may affect content delivery behavior. For this reason, provider and availability settings should be reviewed carefully before making changes in production environments.
