What records might a content-delivery network hold?

A CDN may hold customer, configuration, origin, traffic and security records because it sits between visitors and the website’s origin infrastructure.

What to do

Possible records include billing, domains added, DNS settings, origin addresses, request logs, security events, firewall or abuse data, administrative access and support communications. A CDN IP identifies the intermediary, not the operator.

Key takeaway

Use CDN records to trace the service chain and preserve volatile data.
