Solution Overview

Scenarios

With Huawei Cloud Content Delivery Network (CDN) and Object Storage Service (OBS), this solution automatically caches data stored in OBS to CDN points of presence (PoPs) in different regions on demand. It accelerates the access and download of static resources such as images, videos, and software packages in applications and reduces bandwidth and traffic costs. It is suitable for the following scenarios:

  • File download: websites that provide download services based on HTTP or HTTPS, game clients, and app stores
  • Audio and video on demand: online education, video sharing, and music or video on demand
  • Image loading: portal websites, e-commerce platforms, news apps, and user-generated content (UGC) applications

Architecture

This solution can create a download acceleration environment for CDN and configure businesses. It allows you to create and associate CDN and OBS resources in one click.
Figure 1 Architecture

This solution will:

  • Create an OBS bucket to store static resources such as images, videos, and software packages of websites, forums, apps, and games.
  • Set the OBS bucket as the origin server of the acceleration domain name in CDN, so that data in the bucket can be cached to CDN points of presence (PoPs), accelerating the access and download of static application resources and reducing bandwidth and traffic costs.

Advantages

  • Low cost

    OBS bucket resources are cached on CDN PoPs and do not need to be downloaded via the Internet, reducing costs.

  • High efficiency

    Huawei Cloud CDN has abundant acceleration resources and widely distributed PoPs. It ensures that user requests are precisely scheduled to the optimal PoP for effective and stable acceleration.

  • Easy deployment

    This solution can be deployed in one click within 5 minutes.

Constraints

  • Before deploying this solution, you have registered an account with access to the target region.
  • You have registered a domain name.
  • Before uninstalling the solution, clear all data in the OBS bucket. Otherwise, uninstallation fails.
