cache_​tag

Behavior name: Cache Tag

This adds a cache tag to the requested object. With cache tags, you can flexibly fast purge tagged segments of your cached content. You can either define these tags with an Edge-Cache-Tag header at the origin server level, or use this behavior to directly add a cache tag to the object as the edge server caches it. The cacheTag behavior can only take a single value, including a variable. If you want to specify more tags for an object, add a few instances of this behavior to your configuration.

For guidance on deploying cache tags, see Fast Purge.

Use the Fast Purge API to purge by cache tag programmatically.

Note: This behavior is not compatible with the dynamic_throughtput_optimization behavior
