## What it does

The skill provides step-by-step CLI commands and configurations for setting up content delivery networks. It includes AWS CLI recipes to deploy CloudFront distributions using Origin Access Control (OAC), enforce HTTPS redirects, and handle SPA routing by mapping 404 responses back to `index.html`. It also details Cloudflare API calls for managing zones, purge requests, and Cache Rules for static asset extensions.

Infrastructure automation is covered through Terraform 1.5+ configurations. The configuration separates cached static behaviors from unmanaged `/api/*` paths with disabled caching. It also provides a CloudFront Functions snippet for edge URL rewrites.

Deployment expects a domain with DNS control and an existing origin like an S3 or R2 bucket, which means you cannot test the distributions in an empty sandbox without cloud credentials.

## Requirements
- Works with: AWS, Terraform

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills --skill cdn-setup -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/cdn-setup/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/cdn-setup/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills --skill cdn-setup -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/cdn-setup/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills --skill cdn-setup -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/cdn-setup/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills cdn-setup
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/cdn-setup/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills --skill cdn-setup -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills --path infrastructure/networking/cdn-setup
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/cdn-setup/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills --skill cdn-setup -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

## When to use it
- configure an AWS CloudFront distribution with S3 Origin Access Control
- write Terraform configurations for CDN edge routing and API pass-through
- create Cloudflare Cache Rules and purge caches via API
- set up lightweight URL rewrites using CloudFront Functions

## Example prompts
- Create an AWS CloudFront distribution config for an S3 bucket with SPA fallback
- Write a Terraform configuration for CloudFront with caching disabled on /api/*
- Purge Cloudflare cache for specific static asset URLs using the API

# CDN Setup

Configure content delivery networks for fast, reliable global asset delivery with proper caching, invalidation, and security.

## When to Use

- Serving static assets (JS, CSS, images, fonts) globally with low latency.
- Offloading traffic from origin servers to reduce compute costs.
- Adding TLS termination and DDoS protection at the edge.
- Implementing geo-based routing or content restrictions.
- Accelerating API responses with edge caching.

## Prerequisites

- Domain with DNS management access.
- Origin server or S3/R2 bucket with content to serve.
- AWS CLI configured (for CloudFront).
- Cloudflare account with zone configured (for Cloudflare CDN).
- Terraform 1.5+ (for infrastructure-as-code examples).

## AWS CloudFront

### Create a Distribution via CLI

```bash
# Create an S3 origin distribution with OAC (Origin Access Control)
aws cloudfront create-distribution --distribution-config '{
  "CallerReference": "my-site-'$(date +%s)'",
  "Comment": "Production site CDN",
  "Enabled": true,
  "Origins": {
    "Quantity": 1,
    "Items": [{
      "Id": "s3-origin",
      "DomainName": "my-bucket.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com",
      "OriginPath": "",
      "S3OriginConfig": {
        "OriginAccessIdentity": ""
      },
      "OriginAccessControlId": "E2QWRUHAPOMQZL"
    }]
  },
  "DefaultCacheBehavior": {
    "TargetOriginId": "s3-origin",
    "ViewerProtocolPolicy": "redirect-to-https",
    "AllowedMethods": {

      "ErrorCachingMinTTL": 10
    }]
  }
}'
```

### Cache Invalidation

```bash
# Invalidate specific paths
aws cloudfront create-invalidation \
  --distribution-id E1A2B3C4D5E6F7 \
  --paths "/index.html" "/css/*" "/js/*"

# Invalidate everything (costs apply per path)
aws cloudfront create-invalidation \
  --distribution-id E1A2B3C4D5E6F7 \
  --paths "/*"
