Manage your CDN Distributions

Day-2 operations for distributions: editing config, pausing traffic, deleting, and bulk-managing through the API.

Console actions

From the CDN workspace, every distribution row has an Action menu:

Action	Effect	Reversible?
Manage	Opens the detail dashboard for the distribution.	n/a
Disable	Pauses the distribution; hostname returns `503` until re-enabled.	Yes — re-enable from the same menu.
Delete	Permanently removes the distribution and frees its hostname.	No — config and analytics are gone.

Delete is final. Disable first, watch traffic for 24 h, then delete. Edit DNS to remove any CNAME pointing at the distribution before deletion to avoid 503s for live users.

Edit configuration

Open Manage, then use the left sidebar:

Tab	What you change
Overview	Name, description, see status.
Origins	Swap origins, rotate S3 keys.
SSL	Issue / upload certs, toggle HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.
Headers	Host header, CORS, request / response header rules.
Cache Rules	Per-path TTLs and cache-key behavior.
Access Rules	Country / IP / referrer / token gates.
Image Optimizer	Enable on-the-fly transforms.

All edits propagate within ~1 minute. The Status flips to Updating while config rolls out.

Manage via API

List distributions:

curl -sS "https://api.tenbyte.io/cdn/distributions" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TENBYTE_API_TOKEN" | jq '.data[] | {id, name, domain, status}'

Update config:

curl -X PATCH "https://api.tenbyte.io/cdn/distributions/$DISTRIBUTION_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TENBYTE_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"description": "Owned by web-platform team. Runbook: wiki/cdn-prod"}'

Disable / enable:

curl -X POST "https://api.tenbyte.io/cdn/distributions/$DISTRIBUTION_ID/disable" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TENBYTE_API_TOKEN"

curl -X POST "https://api.tenbyte.io/cdn/distributions/$DISTRIBUTION_ID/enable" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TENBYTE_API_TOKEN"

Delete (only after disable + DNS cleanup):

curl -X DELETE "https://api.tenbyte.io/cdn/distributions/$DISTRIBUTION_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TENBYTE_API_TOKEN"

See the CDN API reference for exact field shapes.

Operational tips

Tag in description — owner, runbook URL, on-call rotation. The console exposes Description in lists; helps incident response.
One distribution per environment — separate prod, staging, dev. Lets you change config in staging without risking prod.
Version your config — keep the API JSON payload in your IaC repo. PR-review changes before applying.
Audit before delete — confirm zero traffic via Analytics for at least 24 h.
DNS first, then disable — flipping the order causes a brief outage for live users.
