Overview

The CDN will acquire content from the origins. An origin must be configured for each site host. Alternative origins can be defined at the path level.

Host Origin - Each site host must define one origin configuration. The origin configuration itself may include one or multiple origin hosts.
Path Origin - You may configure an alternate origin for a specified path. When the CDN receives a request for content in a path for which an origin is configured, the content is retrieved from the path origin and not from the host origin.

An origin configuration may include a single origin host, or multiple origin hosts to support a failover or load-balancing workflow.

Single Origin- Uses a single origin to acquire content.
Origin with Failover - Configure a failover workflow with multiple origin hosts using timeouts and http error codes.
Round Robin List - Configure load-balancing using a round robin method.
