Manually purging all caches or individual objects from Platform CDN
Important Note: These instructions clear content from Platform CDN only. In order to replace it with fresh content, ensure that the content has also been purged from Acquia Varnish first.
First step: Retrieve the service_id and token
Run the following commands to SSH into your environment and use Drush to retrieve the service_id and token:
Your SSH URL can be found in your Acquia Environment Information Section in the Cloud UI.
Run the following command to retrieve your Platform CDN Credentials:
Drupal 7
drush8 @sitegroup.env vget acquia_service_credentials
Drupal 8/Drupal 9
drush9 @sitegroup.env ev 'print_r(\Drupal\Core\Site\Settings::get("acquia_service_credentials")["platform_cdn"]["configuration"]);'
The output will be similar to the following:
{
{
"service_id": "1MFG0lmpFvMCoiziPbKLBB",
"token": "NFA6ZgZaQfC1u1117WJuu3cVbf0ChlDY"
}
}
Second step: Purge Platform CDN
Purge Platform CDN by running one of following curl commands with the token in the header and the service_id in the URL path as shown in the following example:
Purge whole domain
curl -X POST -H "Fastly-Key:<Platform CDN Token>" -H "Accept: application/json" https://api.fastly.com/service/<Platform CDN Service ID>/purge/[DOMAIN]
Purge by tag
curl -X POST -H "Fastly-Key:<Platform CDN Token>" -H "Accept: application/json" https://api.fastly.com/service/<Platform CDN Service ID>/purge/[TAG]
Purge everything
curl -X POST -H "Fastly-Key:<Platform CDN Token>" -H "Accept: application/json" https://api.fastly.com/service/<Platform CDN Service ID>/purge_all
For example:
curl -X POST -H "Fastly-Key:NFA6ZgZaQfC1u1117WJuu3cVbf0ChlDY" -H "Accept: application/json" https://api.fastly.com/service/1MFG0lmpFvMCoiziPbKLBB/purge_all
Before manually purging the Platform CDN cache, purge your Varnish cache to ensure cache consistency.
