# create

The cdn create command creates a new CDN (Content Delivery Network) distribution for a project. This command requires the project ID, distribution name, and optional description.

## Usage

```
cldkctl cdn create [flags]
```

## Steps

Follow the steps below to run and view the result of this command:

1. A CDN distribution can be created using flags:

```
cldkctl cdn create --domain [domain-name] --ip [origin-ip-address] --port [origin-port] --billing-type [billing-type]
```

2. Replace \[domain-name] with the CDN domain name.
3. Replace \[origin-ip-address] with the origin server IP address.
4. Replace \[origin-port] with the origin server port number.
5. Replace \[billing-type] with the billing type, such as fixed.
6. Alternatively, run the command without flags to create a CDN distribution interactively using TUI mode:

```
cldkctl cdn create
```

7. Enter the domain name.
8. Enter the origin IP address.
9. Enter the port number.
10. Choose the billing type.
