What are the steps to integrate AEM with Akamai ?

I want to integrate AEM 6.5 with Akamai to handle replication and caching.

Is their any documentation for implementation of Akamai with AEM ?

    If you get your expiration headers right on AEM/dispatcher side, just configure Akamai to use your AEM instance as origin and configure it to acept the expiration dates provided by AEM.

    Then you don't need to write any code which connects AEM with Akamai.

    Are you saying you cannot have seperat cache policy for Akamai and The browser? They HAVE to use the same policy? This seems like a strange limitation...

      Does it make sense to have a different policy? Does it make sense to have Akamai refresh every 5 minutes, but instruct the browser to cache for 1hour?

      Anyway, for all these caching things I try to make simple solutions. I rather accept a lower cache-hit ratio and a flawless operations than a highly-sophisticated setup with great cache-hit ratios, which is hard to understand and even harder to debug.
