# CDN Purge Cache

## Overview <a href="#tong-quan" id="tong-quan"></a>

**CDN Purge Cache** is used in cases where it is necessary to refresh or delete cached content on the CDN system.

Here is a detailed description of the steps to perform Purge Cache on CDN:

* **Step 1:** First, you have initialized an **Object Download** on the vCDN system. For detailed steps, please refer here [.](https://docs-vngcloud-vn.translate.goog/vng-cloud-document/vn/vcdn/loai-hinh-dich-vu/object-download) Suppose, below I have initialized an Object Download *tuongtk3-download* (vCDN Domain: *tuleemu0l7obj.vcdn. cloud* ) and linked it to S3 Origin. On S3 Origin, I have created files demo1.txt ... demo5.txt, text1.txt ... text5.txt.
* **Step 2:** Perform the Purge Cache By (ALL, BEGIN, END, CONTAIN, URI(s) ) test. In which:
  * **ALL** : Clear all cache.
  * **BEGIN** : Clear cache for URLs starting with a certain string.
  * **END** : Clear cache for URLs ending with a certain string.
  * **CONTAINS** : Clear cache for URLs containing a specific string.
  * **URI(s)** : Clear the cache for one or more specific URIs.
* **Step 3:** Call the links for CDN to cache
  * With vCDN Domain: *tuleemu0l7obj.vcdn. cloud* , you can make calls to the links for CDN to cache as follows:
    * <https://tuleemu0l7obj.vcdn.cloud/purge_lab/text1.txt>
    * <https://tuleemu0l7obj.vcdn.cloud/purge_lab/demo1.txt>
    * ....

* When CDN has cached we will see the header `X-Cache: HIT` and `X-Cache-Version: $Thời_gian_timestamp_lưu_cache`in CDN

* For files that are not cached in CDN the header will be in the form `X-Cache: MISS`and `X-Cache-Version: $Thời_gian_ timestamp_lưu_cache`in CDN

For details of each type, please refer to the instructions below:

## Detail <a href="#chi-tiet" id="chi-tiet"></a>

### 1. Purge Cache By ALL. <a href="#id-1.-purge-cache-by-all" id="id-1.-purge-cache-by-all"></a>

Purge by ALL: will delete all links (all Cache of resources on CDN).

<figure><img src="/files/DsRSI8aEUpdbZ93iRbAK" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Before Purge Cache the files were cached in CDN

<figure><img src="/files/VG9NwDUpAvDr1YkuHzyd" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Change the contents of the files, then refresh the browser. Because the files have been cached in CDN, when changing in Origin, the files in CDN have not been changed.

* Proceed to Purge Cache: Select the corresponding **Service** and **CDN and Purge by ALL**

<figure><img src="/files/NaclujKJMOKjCW3kAWBp" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* After Purge cache CDN calls back to Origin to get the latest content.

<figure><img src="/files/iDFuFdUhSeI5FVLgCSps" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### 2. Purge Cache By BEGIN <a href="#id-2.-purge-cache-by-begin" id="id-2.-purge-cache-by-begin"></a>

Purge by BEGIN: Will delete all resources currently cached in CDN starting with the entered character.

<figure><img src="/files/3tjELqBeCIBkFaNll9Y4" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Similar to Purge by ALL, before Purge Cache, the files have been cached in CDN. Proceed to Purge Cache: Select **Service** and corresponding **CDN and Purge by BEGIN** . At URI enter: `/purge_lab/text*`(delete cache of all text\* files in vCDN).

<figure><img src="/files/IWODHUbeyFZtTyY0stsN" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* After Purge the file `/purge_lab/text*`is checked and called back to Origin to get the latest content.

<figure><img src="/files/7kgkQtAaTwa6EGfKlc0F" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Since the files `/purge_lab/demo*`are not purged, the content is still fetched from the CDN Cache.

<figure><img src="/files/9oP96nWoVYnBeky9SoK9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### 3. Purge Cache By CONTAIN <a href="#id-3.-purge-cache-by-contain" id="id-3.-purge-cache-by-contain"></a>

Purge by CONTAIN: Will delete all resources currently cached in CDN that contain the entered string.

<figure><img src="/files/DMPfb470MAMpZ5NSc4Nd" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Similar to Purge by ALL, before Purge Cache, the files have been cached in CDN. Proceed to Purge Cache: Select **Service** and corresponding **CDN and Purge by CONTAIN** . At URI enter: `/*demo*` (clear cache of all \*demo\* files currently cached in vCDN).

<figure><img src="/files/4Gd8NhuXn3FfJKJ5Ugez" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* After Purge Cache the files `/purge_lab/demo1.txt`... Were called back to Origin to get new content.

<figure><img src="/files/J9ShyX2d9bJHP0lv0BoJ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Files `/purge_lab/text1.txt`... Still get content from Cache in CDN

<figure><img src="/files/QnpbTdvoO6k9phJOVreM" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Purge by END: Will delete all resources that are being cached in vCDN at the end of the input string.

<figure><img src="/files/K2ngwkzPPTyshMjyYHPZ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Similar to Purge by ALL, before Purge Cache, the files have been cached in CDN. Proceed to Purge Cache: Select **Service** and corresponding **CDN and Purge by END** . At URI enter: `/*1.txt` (clear cache of all \*1.txt files currently cached in CDN).

<figure><img src="/files/qy9f9usvdUoxioERd7EN" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* After Purge Cache the files `/*1.txt`... Were called back to Origin to get new content.

### 5. Purge Cache By URI(s). <a href="#id-5.-purge-cache-by-uri-s" id="id-5.-purge-cache-by-uri-s"></a>

Purge by URI(s): Will delete exactly the specified link.

<figure><img src="/files/5GLyWV0nreXX4VRnVC5a" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Similar to Purge by ALL, before Purge Cache, the files have been cached in CDN. Proceed to Purge Cache: Select **Service** and corresponding **CDN and Purge by URI(s)** . At URI, enter: `/purge_lab/demo1.txt`, `/purge_lab/demo2.txt`... (clear cache of specified links that are cached in vCDN).

<figure><img src="/files/nn8NoKfjOV32V1PLNIN1" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
