Activate a Cloudlets policy version
Now that you have a Cloudlets policy that contains rules, you have to activate it on the Akamai network. Keep in mind you need to activate the policy to use it with a chosen property.
Activation for Shared Policy
Shared Policy functionality significantly simplifies Cloudlets activation. Once a Shared Policy is activated, the Shared Policy is available and fully usable for an unlimited number of properties. Before Shared Policy functionality, you had to activate a policy each time you wished to use it for another property. Also, if you activate any Shared Policy, there is an option to deactivate it.
