Token-based log sink authentication and advanced cache key controls
Section titled “Token-based log sink authentication and advanced cache key controls”This release adds a new OTLP log sink configuration which supports Bearer token authentication and introduces granular URL query string and request header cache key variations (Vary cache).
New OTLP log sink configuration
Section titled “New OTLP log sink configuration”- What’s new: Support for the new OTLP log sink configuration, supporting Basic authentication and Bearer token options. The connection validation logic and log streaming engine can now utilize authorization tokens during transport.
- What it brings: Enhanced security and seamless integration with OpenTelemetry (OTel)-compatible log collectors and STACKIT telemetry services without exchanging static username/password credentials.
- How to use it: Configure the token credential field within the OTLP log sink settings via the STACKIT CDN API.
Cache key Vary controls (query strings and request headers)
Section titled “Cache key Vary controls (query strings and request headers)”- What’s new: Granular control plane configurations to enable or disable URL query string parameter inclusion in cache keys and to define custom arrays of HTTP request headers for
Varycache evaluation. - What it brings: Targeted caching performance for dynamic applications, versioned API endpoints, and multi-language sites by serving localized or header-specific content directly from edge nodes without cache collisions.
- How to use it: Set the query string caching toggle and pass the array of cache key headers via the STACKIT CDN API endpoint under your distribution configuration.
These features are currently available via the API and SDK. Support for Terraform and the Portal will be added in a future update.
