Add Edge Redirector rules

Cloudlets rules determine what Edge Redirector does when an incoming request meets a set of criteria. You can use Cloudlets Policy Manager to add rules, or you can add them using a CSV file.

📘
You can add up to 5000 rules to a Cloudlets policy.

If your rules aren't working as expected before the 5000 limit, try running the Policy Analysis Tool first. Then, contact support if you can't resolve the issue. You may have hit a cost limit.

How to

Go to ☰ > CDN > Edge logic Cloudlets.
On the Cloudlet Policies screen, click the name of the policy you want to add rules to.
On the Policy Details screen, click the version you want to update or click Create New Version.
On the Version Details screen, click Add Rule.
If you have administrative-level access and will be entering advanced match criteria, click Show Advanced Rule.
Complete these fields on the Create a Rule screen:
