A container can be enabled for Akamai in the Distribution (CDN) tab of the Info panel.

Basic (Download HTTP) Distributions

Used to serve static content. The files you elect to be public are shared out over a content distribution network with locations all over the world. The first time your content is served to a worldwide user (one in Tokyo, for example), a copy of the content will be stored in cache on the edge servers in that location. The next time the content is requested, its pulled directly from the cached copy on the edge servers, dramatically reducing delivery time.

Example configuration:

Deployment Status

The configuration updates are fully propagated status switches to CDN Enabled.

Distribution Access Logging

When this option is enabled in the File → Info panel of a container, access logs are written to /.CDN_ACCESS_LOGS. Use View → Show Hidden Files to access the *.gz log files.
