Configuring CDN with Amazon CloudFront

Note

Note: The following beta artifacts are available to support CDN in ThingWorx Software Content Management deployments. These artifacts are available for early access, but are not yet supported:

Java SDK—Edge thing shapes with CDN support
ThingWorx Software Content Management edge thing shape
Amazon S3 extension

Configuring CDN helps relieve bandwidth requirements on a ThingWorx server that has to deliver many or large software updates, by allowing a secured version of the update to be cached by a CDN service such as AWS CloudFront or Akamai. This section provides information about using Amazon Web Services; however, this setup is also applicable for most CDN providers.
