Cloudinary incorporates robust Content Delivery Network (CDN) features to efficiently distribute media assets across the web. With strategically located edge servers worldwide, including leading CDNs such as Akamai, Fastly, and Cloudflare, Cloudinary reduces latency and improves overall performance of images, videos, and other media.

By default, Cloudinary assigns a randomly generated unique public ID to each uploaded media asset. Alternatively, you can either define your own custom public ID or one based on the original file name of the uploaded image. 

The default Cloudinary shared CDN distribution is https://res.cloudinary.com. Thus, the default delivery URL for Cloudinary product environments uses the format:

https://res.cloudinary.com/<cloud_name>/...

Cloudinary also supports private CDN distribution configurations. In this case, your asset delivery URL will follow the format:

https://<cloud_name>-res.cloudinary.com/...
