It should be fairly simple to do depending on your approach.

Many CDNs will work 'automatically' simply by setting up the CDN and prefixing your image urls with the hostname of your CDN.

so www.dynamicweb.com/image.jpg becomes abc123.fancycdn.io/image.jpg and the CDN will automatically make a copy of the original and serve it from its CDN instead. It will also work for abc123.fancycdn.io/admin/public/getimage.asxh?file=image.jpg

So based on that you need to change your templates that feeds data or your integration jobs to take that into account.

Hi Nicolai,

Thank you for the details.

This works very well when the resources are served on the web.
What if the documentation in PIM does not involve any rendering in front-end.

The admins will only upload some documents and images on the current file system, in PIM. And they want to share the information with another e-commerce solution. The assets are not yet on the CDN (unless there is a server-side sync), right?

Can they upload assets directly to a CDN?

Thank you,

Adrian

No sync is needed. No need to upload to CDN.

The first time an 3rd party ecommerce accesses the abc123.fancycdn.io/admin/public/getimage.asxh?file=image.jpg it will be transferred to the CDN. It is really really reallly simple. 

As an example, I just created a random account on a Random CDN for serving assets of dynamicweb.dk:

http://cdn80574888.blazingcdn.net/

So instead of https://www.dynamicweb.dk/Files/Images/DWLogoColor_sm.svg

It becomes

http://cdn80574888.blazingcdn.net/Files/Images/DWLogoColor_sm.svg

In a simple setup:

Hi Nicolai,

Thank you. This is fantastic!
