Start with the node’s job.
Cache storage, request processing and regional application tasks have different requirements. Define the working set, I/O pattern and expected traffic before choosing the machine or rack footprint.
Solutions / CDN & edge networks
Plan infrastructure where your delivery network needs a presence. Match the location, working set and traffic profile to the job each node will do.
Plan your next nodeFrom requirement to deployment
Cache storage, request processing and regional application tasks have different requirements. Define the working set, I/O pattern and expected traffic before choosing the machine or rack footprint.
Describe normal and peak traffic, protocol requirements and the networks you need to reach. Agree the available ports, allowances, measurement method and overage terms for the selected location.
Set deployment acceptance criteria around the node’s intended role. Where a pilot is useful, agree its scope and measurement method before extending the configuration to other locations.
The first conversation
Routing options, connectivity and network features are confirmed per location. No latency, peering or throughput guarantee is implied by the directory.
