Cloud Wrapper

Add this behavior to your Object 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 Object 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 Object Delivery property, consider these points:

  • Object 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 Object Delivery properties with Ion or Dynamic Site Accelerator properties in the same footprint.

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