Configuración de la invalidación push para la CDN de producción BYO
Push invalidation automatically purges content on the customer’s production CDN (e.g. www.yourdomain.com), whenever an author publishes content changes.
Content is purged by url and by cache tag/key.
Setting up push invalidation requires 2 steps:
Configuration
Push invalidation is currently supported for CDNs of the following vendors:
Push invalidation is enabled by adding specific properties to the project’s configuration (an Excel workbook named .helix/config.xlsx in Sharepoint or a Google Sheet named .helix/config in Google Drive).
The following sections describe the vendor specific properties required to set up push invalidation.
