cdn

Need some help putting together the CDN stuff that Christefano covered in the performance meetup from this past September at Oversee. I have basically done everything required nut am seeing some weird behavior.

I should actually start by saying that I have been researching CDN's and chose AWS Cloud Front. On November 1st they announced Custom Origins rather than having to use there default S3. This is now inline with the presentation (Christefano used SoftLayer) and works with the Basic mode of the CDN module. The File Conveyor by Wim Leers is not necessary.

Hi Everyone.

There are few modules, which help to serve Drupal website using CDN with Origin Pull or Push Technologies.

However, i don't want to do the things they do. They are most of the times, helping to keep the files or rich media on their cached servers, which can be used from Points of Presence of CDN provider. If we host files with them and use some URL, the files may end up hosted on some subdomain like cdn.site.com (which i don't think is good)

The secret is out – Drupal has become the ‘go-to’ open source software for the publication and management of website content. By pairing Drupal with cloud technologies there is a whole new world of user benefits well beyond scale and performance.

In this session, Bret Piatt, director, technical alliances at Rackspace Hosting will discuss how to best take advantage of cloud technologies with Drupal sites. The panel presentation will address:

• Leveraging the cloud ecosystem for managing configuration, code, and backups
• How to scale Drupal clusters by integrating with cloud APIs

Hi,

We begun our deployment of a large community website from a single machine that combined DB and web server two years ago. We experienced continuous growth and our system evolved significantly, different performance tunings led to the following setup (so far):

Hi all,

I am building a user-generated video sharing site for my client. He wants users with appropriate role can submit their videos to the site and share it. A problem is, for some reasons unknown to me, he wants to use FTP instead of FileField upload functionality to submit a video. Then he wants to get these files hosted by a CDN provider and embed in a node a video file which is retrieved from a CDN provider. A video can last 1 hour or longer sometimes.

I was just reading this article on NewTeeVee ( http://newteevee.com/2009/02/27/a-cdn-for-the-people-by-the-people/ ) and was thinking about the impressive implications for this for the Open Media Project.
The idea is simple - locate NAS devices with media files on them inside as many high-speed connected locations as possible. Offer benefits to those agreeing to locate the content at their location.

WorkHabit just launched a preview of our new video platform for Drupal. We're looking for developers to try it out and provide us some feedback.

From the blog post...

Greetings,

We're preparing to rollout a CDN for our Drupal implementation and would like to get notes of other people's experiences.

We have about 1/2 million images that we primarily want to push out to a network.

There is a CDN module, http://drupal.org/project/cdn, that we've been looking at, however the author states:
"... it doesn't scale yet (yes, that's pretty ironic since the exact goal is better scalability ..."

Thanks,

Arman.
