You need to activate Dynamic Content Delivery Network (DCDN) before you can use it. This topic describes how to activate DCDN.
DCDN is no longer available to new users. We recommend that you upgrade to ESA.
Prerequisites
An Alibaba Cloud account is created. To create an Alibaba Cloud account, go to the Sign up to Alibaba Cloud page.
Only the Alibaba Cloud account can activate DCDN. Granting the AliyunDCDNFullAccess policy to a RAM user does not activate the service. If the Alibaba Cloud account has not activated DCDN, the RAM user cannot see the DCDN entry in the console.
If a RAM user still cannot see the DCDN entry in the console after the AliyunDCDNFullAccess policy is granted, check whether the Alibaba Cloud account has activated DCDN.
Procedure
-
Go to the DCDN product page.
-
Click Buy Now, and select a metering method.
For information about DCDN pricing, see DCDN pricing details.
-
click Buy Now.
On the Confirm Order page, select Terms of Service, and click Activate Now.
Complete the payment to activate DCDN.
After you activate DCDN, you can click Alibaba Cloud Management Console to go to the DCDN console.
What to do next
Deactivate or stop the billing of DCDN
If you directly deactivate DCDN, your business may be interrupted. Therefore, Alibaba Cloud does not allow you to deactivate DCDN in the console. However, if you do not add domain names to DCDN or use features such as edge security and EdgeRoutine, you are not charged for DCDN. This is equivalent to deactivating DCDN.
