Konfigurera push-ogiltigförklaring för BYO-produktion CDN

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.
