Abstract

A method and a system for flexibly processing content objects are disclosed. The processing is performed with a content delivery network (CDN) having a number of geographically distributed points of presence (POPs). Content objects are ingest through landing pads and stored or otherwise processed in a flexible way where storage bricks and other resources are chosen flexibly by characterization tags. Policies are used to describe which content objects are processed by which categories of resources. A group of resources characterized by the tag are chosen when the processing is performed. When retrieving content, the content object can be stored on any storage brick found through the tag analysis process. A query is translated to addresses for the chosen storage brick(s).

Description

technical field [0001] This disclosure relates generally to content delivery networks (CDNs), and not in a limiting manner, to managing assets associated with CDNs. Background technique [0002] Content providers (ie, customers) offload their content delivery to a CDN for any number of reasons. CDNs specialize in a range of content delivery and hosting options optimized for performance so that end users obtain the desired Quality of Service (QoS). Different CDNs have different topologies depending on more or less points of presence (POPs) geographically distributed across the Internet. CDNs with more POPs tend to have fewer resources per POP, while those with fewer POPs tend to have more resources per POP. The topology and asset allocation in a specific CDN is inflexible. [0003] Customers use CDN and cloud services in more creative ways. Applications, storage and other services are provided remotely. A CDN does not provide the flexibility to adapt to all needs of cust...
