### Quick Guide to Updating CDN Content
MathJax CDN content is served from the `cdn.mathjax.org` domain. The source of this data (the CDN *origin*) is *Rackspace Cloud Files* (which uses OpenStack) and it is served via Rackspace's CDN partner, Akamai; more information can be found [at Rackspace](http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/cloud_hosting_products/files/).
MathJax CDN content is served from the `cdn.mathjax.org` domain, see the [documentation](http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/configuration.html#loading-cdn). The CDN's source or *origin* is *Rackspace Cloud Files* (which uses OpenStack) and it is served via Rackspace's CDN partner, Akamai; more information can be found [at Rackspace](http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/cloud_hosting_products/files/).
The basic set up is that each versioned release on the CDN corresponds to a subdirectory and each of those subdirectories is an independent clone of the corresponding MathJax branch from our canonical GitHub repository (except for `1.0` which is based on the sourceforge repository).
To update CDN content, one merely updates content in the appropriate release directory. The web-interface at Rackspace is not very useful however, so instead [Cyberduck](http://cyberduck.ch) has proven to be a reliable tool to handle uploads.
