Add this behavior to your Download Delivery property to enhance origin offload by optimizing data caches in regions nearest to your origin server.

How it works

Cloud Wrapper maximizes origin offload for large libraries of content. It gives you access to supplementary, regional resources for your hosts, called a "footprint." Content from your origin is cached in your footprint, which reduces the need for direct contact with your origin. This helps your origins operate at peak performance.

You need to add Cloud Wrapper to your contract to get access to it. Talk to your account team for all the details. Once it's added, you'll set up a specific configuration for your footprint and add its behavior to your Download Delivery property in Property Manager.

You can find full requirements and usage details in the Cloud Wrapper documentation.

Caveats and known issues

Before you add this support to your Download Delivery property, consider these points:

• Download Delivery and our website delivery products can't use the same footprint. You'll work with your ​Akamai​ account team to set up your specific footprint for use with Cloud Wrapper. You can't configure Download Delivery properties with Ion or Dynamic Site Accelerator properties in the same footprint.

• SureRoute and Tiered Distribution aren't supported. Cloud Wrapper can't be used with Download Delivery properties that also have SureRoute and Tiered Distribution enabled in the same rule group.
