AEM with CDN

[nsvsrk]

Hi all,

I am reading AEM integration with CDN (Akamai).

As I understand, CDN caches the data and serves close to the location of the user, thus reducing the distance data has to travel.

Let us say that my application has one Production Server with one dispatcher and both of these are deployed in Africa.

Users of my site access it from Asia, Europe and USA.

If I want to employ CDN,  should it have three nodes (Not sure what they are called) one for each of these three locations (Asia, Europe and USA)?

Will the attached diagram serve this request?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Rama.

Hi,

this depends a bit on your application. When your site is completely static, you don't need 3 publishs, as the CDN can cache everything; if you have dynamic parts you have to provide additional publish power; and probably it's best to have geo-distributed publish instances.

kind regards,
Jörg
