Create Small CDN Resource

Learn how to create a Small CDN Resource in the Medianova Control Panel for static content delivery.

A Small CDN Resource is optimized for small-sized static assets such as images, CSS, JavaScript, and web fonts. It delivers these files efficiently through Medianova’s global edge network, improving website performance and reducing load on your origin servers.

You can configure a Small CDN Resource to fetch content directly from your own origin (Origin Pull) or host it on Medianova Storage (Origin Push).

You can also reach this page from the Overview screen by clicking Get Started Now, which redirects to CDN Resources.

Selecting Small CDN Resource in the creation form.

This option is optimized for static content such as images, CSS, and JavaScript files.

3

Enter general information.

• CDN Resource Name – Provide a short, descriptive name for your resource. → This name will appear in your default CDN hostname (for example, example.mncdn.com).

• CDN Resource Label – (Optional) Add a label for internal reference.

4

Select the source of your files.

Option 1 – My Origin (Origin Pull)

Medianova fetches content directly from your server when users request files.

1. Select My Origin.

2. Click Add and complete the Origin Settings:

   • Domain or IP

   • HTTP Port / HTTPS Port

   • Protocol

   • Host Header

   • (Optional) Origin SNI Request, Priority, and Weight if you add multiple origins.

Option 2 – Stook Object Storage (Origin Push)

Medianova hosts your files on Stook Object Storage.

1. Select Stook Object Storage.

2. In Stook Bucket/Path, choose an existing Bucket and optional Subfolder.

3. (Optional) Add a CDN Resource Label for internal tracking.

5

Create the resource.

The new resource appears in the CDN Resources list. Configuration and resource availability are indicated by toggle icons under:

• Config Status – Green icon means configuration is valid.

• Resource Status – Blue toggle means the resource is active and enabled.

6

(Optional) Configure your custom domain (CNAME).

If you want to serve content using your own domain (for example, cdn.yourdomain.com) instead of the default hostname (example.mncdn.com), configure a CNAME record.

To use your own domain instead of the default CDN hostname, add a CNAME under the CNAME & SSL tab of your CDN Resource. For detailed steps, see CNAME for CDN Resource.

• Use Small only for static assets. For large files, video, or downloadable content, use Large & VOD Streaming instead.

• Config Status and Resource Status icons confirm that your setup is complete.

• If configuration fails, verify origin accessibility and port settings.

You can verify that your CDN Resource is reachable by running:

ping example.mncdn.com

A successful response from an IP address indicates the resource is active.
