Dedicated IP addressing of CDN resources
Warning
The dedicated IP addressing service is subject to the Yandex Cloud CDN pricing policy. The number of allocated IP addresses is limited.
By default, multiple customers may share a single public IP address.
On request, you can get a dedicated public IP address that will be used exclusively for your CDN resources in Yandex Cloud CDN. Content delivery will continue through all points of presence.
The dedicated IP address is associated with a folder. This means, within a single folder, dedicated IP addressing will apply to all CDN resources by default, and they will all have the same IP address. If you select to pay per individual CDN resource, you will be charged for all CDN resources in the folder. If you need dedicated IP addresses only for some of the resources, we recommend creating additional folders for them.
The balancing of CDN resources with dedicated IP addressing is done using the DNS-based BGP Anycast and GSLB methods. These approaches differ from standard balancing used for resources without dedicated IP addresses. With BGP Anycast, the same IP address is announced from all CDN points of presence. This enables the system to seamlessly serve the entire network of PoPs even with a single IP address.
You may need to use dedicated IP addressing of CDN resources to:
- Have your resources whitelisted by the Russian Ministry of Digital Development.
- Enhance security.
- Isolate your resources from those of other CDN users, including when you need to access resources via security group settings.
