After deploying the property configuration to the production environment on
Akamai and successfully testing it, you can launch the domain.
Update DNS
The DNS for the domain must be updated to point to Akamai. Akamai can only be
pointed to utilizing the CNAME address that is listed in the property
configuration in the Edge Hostname column. In the following example, the
www.example.com domain can have the DNS updated as a CNAME record to
example.edgesuite.net to launch the domain through Akamai.
Performing a lookup of the IP associated with the Edge Hostname must only be
used for testing the domains through Akamai. The IP address identified during
the lookup must never be used to point to a production domain to Akamai. IP
addresses can change periodically without notice. Therefore, it is not
supported to point to an Akamai IP address directly.
If the DNS provider can leverage an ANAME or ALIAS record, the bare domain can
also be configured to point to Akamai. However, if this is unsupported with the
existing DNS provider, the bare domain must have a redirect on the origin
server.
