Working with Services

IO River service represents a portion of your traffic, it is logically equivalent to a Website in Cloudflare, a Property in Akamai, a Service in Fastly, a Distribution in CloudFront, etc. Service can include multiple domains, and multiple origins. You can also define custom behaviors for your traffic. You can utilize different types of CDNs in a single service. Each service has a unique CNAME which should be used in order to direct traffic to the service.

Prerequisites​

Before starting to work with services, you will need to have the following:

  • IO River Account - you can sign up here for a free account.
  • CDN Account - You will need at least one CDN account to be used with your service.
  • Origin - You should have at least one Origin server. Origin is where your content is being stored, for example a S3 bucket or other HTTP server.
  • Domain - Domain name which will be used by end-users to access your content, for example, www.example.com.

Managing Services​

On the Services page, you can browse your services in either a table view or a cards view.

  • Table view is useful when you have many services.
  • Cards view is useful when you prefer a more visual layout.

Both views support filtering, so you can quickly narrow the list and locate the exact services you need.

In table view, you can further customize how data is presented: select which columns are shown and their order, and sort the services.

To inspect a service from either view, click the service row (in table view) or the service card (in cards view). This opens a side panel with more details.

To fully manage a service, click the service name. This drills down into the service management page, where you can configure and maintain that service.
