How Cloudlets work
This is how requests are served with Cloudlets enabled:
-
A customer makes a request for content.
-
The optimal edge server receives an inbound request.
-
The edge server determines which Cloudlet should handle the request.
-
The edge server fetches the policies for the given Cloudlet.
-
The edge server processes metadata logic, generates a response, and sends it to the customer.
