Providing secure access to content in Cloud CDN

Written by
Yandex Cloud
Updated at May 26, 2025

In this tutorial, you will create a website to generate signed links with a secure token to a CDN resource in Cloud CDN. The referenced content will only be available for five minutes after link reception and only to the user the link was generated for.

The website will be deployed on a VM created from a public LAMP image with a pre-installed Apache HTTP server. The website will be available via the domain name delegated in Yandex Cloud DNS, for which a TLS certificate will be issued in Yandex Certificate Manager.

You can create the infrastructure for your website using one of these tools:

  • Management console, CLI, API: Use the Yandex Cloud management console, CLI, or API to create your infrastructure step by step.
  • Terraform: Streamline creating and managing your resources with the infrastructure as code (IaC) approach. Download a Terraform configuration example from the GitHub repository and then deploy your infrastructure using the Yandex Cloud Terraform provider.
