Wowza Streaming Engine

I have a video on demand configure in wowza streaming engine on VOD Application.
Now i done with internal cdn with nginx and caching system.

But i need high level cdn like akamai.
How to push or configure our VOD to akamai?

You want to use stream targets. There is a part of the online docs about pushing to akamai from WSE.
Unfortunately I cannot post a link.

Hi Scott…

After i look at in WSE there is no options to stream target in vod application.

Ah yes my mistake. You can only push live streams to a CDN with stream targets

For VOD. You can set up WSE as the origin to the CDN. This is called HTTP Origin mode. I removes session specific information from the HLS information. By making it sessionless, this allows cachability at the CDN.

Requests will pull through the CDN back to Wowza. Google “Wowza VOD HTTP origin mode” to find the docs
