Activate OTA Updates in the production environment

Once you have tested and validated your version of the OTA Updates configuration in the staging environment, you can activate this version in the production environment.

Before you begin, for Edge IP Binding (EIB) configurations, change your local hosts file to point your browser to the EIB edge server. For more information see, Point your browser to the EIB edge server.

Access Property Manager configurations associated with the selected Akamai Control Center account. Go to ☰ > CDN > Properties (or just enter Properties in the search box).

The Property Groups page opens.
Click the Property Name link for your property.
On the Property Details page, click the Version of your configuration that you want to access in Manage Versions and Activations.
On the Property Manager Editor page, click Activate v# on Production on the Activate tab.
Monitor the Activate tab to track progress.

The activation process takes approximately 1-2 hours.

For EIB configurations, you can verify the EIB functionality. For more information, see Verify the Edge IP Binding configuration.
