Sorry if this has been answered before…

Is it possible to publish a live stream to a cdn (CDN77) and use a Wowza server to ingest that live stream from the nearest edge server in the CDN. The Wowza server would handle all of the recording and archiving for VOD. Then when a VOD file is requested Wowza would publish it back into the CDN.

Is this possible, if so how would I set this up.

Thanks,

Brandon

You can re-stream from a CDN.

Use the PushPublish API to push the stream to the CDN:

[How to push streams to CDNs and other services](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-push-streams-to-cdns-and-other-services-push-publishing)

Then configure Wowza as an HTTP origin for serving the VoD content:
