Available in Classic and VPC

You can easily create and manage edges in the Global Edge section of the NAVER Cloud Platform. You can view the detailed usage methods in Getting started with Global Edge and Using Global Edge, but we recommend taking a look at the overall usage scenario of Global Edge first. Reading the guide after learning the usage scenario will allow you to use Global Edge more smoothly. The overall sequence of using Global Edge and a description of each sequence are as follows:

1. Usage permission settings
2. Pre-set the environments
3. Creating profiles
4. Creating an edge
5. Monitoring and managing edges

1. Usage permission settings

You can set usage permissions for using Global Edge. Global Edge usage permissions are defined by mapping "roles" to "sub accounts" issued by NAVER Cloud Platform's Sub Account. Thus, you need to first create sub accounts other than your main account through Sub Account.

Note

Sub Account is a service provided free of charge upon subscription request. For a detailed description of Sub Account and its pricing plans, see the Services > Management & Governance > Sub Account menu in the NAVER Cloud Platform portal.

You can use sub accounts provided by Sub Account to configure admin permissions and user permissions of Global Edge. You can refer to the following guides:

2. Pre-set the environment

Prepare an origin server containing the content source to be cached. You can store content within Object Storage on the NAVER Cloud Platform or use external storage owned by the customer.
The following user guides are some references that you can use when using Object Storage.

3. Creating profiles

A profile is a concept of a group that binds multiple edges. So, before you create an edge, you first need to create a profile. You can refer to the following guides:

4. Creating an edge

Create an edge to store the caching data.
There are two ways to create an edge.

  • Quick Start: quickly create an edge with a simple setup.
  • Self-Integration: create a customized edge by configuring the details of the edge yourself.

You can refer to the following guides:

5. Monitoring and managing edges

Monitor the created edge servers and manage the edges, such as through changing the settings of the edges or performing purges as needed. You can refer to the following guides:
