Push Invalidation for Adobe CDN?

Hey Team,

 

I've read in the documentation that Push Invalidation (a crucial piece of the content pipeline), is not available for the Adobe Managed CDN and only for BYOCDN's like Cloudflare, Fastly, Akamai, and CloudFront. 

 

If this is the case, how then would i enable or manage push invalidation or auto-content purging for published content on the production site post-golive? Since we are using the Adobe CDN. 

 

On other notes, I've read that the Adobe CDN is actually Fastly based so Push invalidation could work? Please clarify this as the docs don't support that point outright.

 

Thanks

Hi @saadab ,

 

You linked documentation for Edge Delivery Services. However, if you are looking for CDN cache purge opportunities, you can read this documentation: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/implementing/content-delivery/cdn-cache-purge . AEMaaCS provides an ability to purge Adobe CDN cache. AEM as a Cloud Service allows you to configure a Purge API Token, which can then be used in Purge API calls. Read Configuring CDN Credentials and Authentication to learn how to configure this token using the Cloud Manager Config Pipeline Authentication directives.

 

Best regards,

Kostiantyn Diachenko.

      Thanks for this - just wondering what your reccommended best approach would be then? And my initial confusion was in fact wether Fastly was what Adobe CDN is based on, as it was in separate category as the others in the documentation. 

      Can you confirm if this documentation is applicable for EDS on AEMaaCS? https://www.aem.live/docs/byo-cdn-fastly-setup.

      Because if so, why not just refer to it? 

      Some clarity would be great, as there seems to be multiple approaches to this (some adobe approved and some not, and id rather stick to a documented one)

      Hi @saadab 

      The ideal approach is to rely on cache expiry rather than manually clearing the CDN cache. If manual clearing is necessary, it's a sign that the TTL settings need to be reviewed. 

      However, if you must purge the cache, using APIs is the recommended method.

      Please check https://cqdump.joerghoh.de/category/cdn/ from @joerghoh 

       

      Yes,  https://www.aem.live/docs/byo-cdn-fastly-setup. is applicable only for EDS setup.
