Actions on Distributions

Each distribution has basic metadata and a configuration object associated with it. The following table lists the actions you can perform on a distribution or its configuration object and provides links to the corresponding control API reference topics. The table has one column for download distributions (which use an HTTP connection), and another column for streaming distributions (which use an RTMP connection).
