This curriculum spans the technical and operational complexity of a multi-workshop integration program for global enterprises adopting Verizon’s CDN, covering configuration, security, and compliance tasks typically addressed in extended advisory engagements.

Module 1: CDN Architecture and Verizon’s Global Infrastructure

  • Selecting optimal edge server locations based on real-time latency telemetry and regional user density patterns.
  • Configuring multi-tier caching hierarchies (edge, regional, origin) to balance performance and cache hit ratios.
  • Implementing anycast routing for DNS resolution and evaluating its impact on connection setup times.
  • Integrating third-party monitoring tools with Verizon’s performance APIs to validate global PoP health.
  • Assessing the trade-offs between shared and dedicated CDN infrastructure for compliance-sensitive workloads.
  • Designing failover paths between Verizon CDN and secondary providers using DNS-based traffic steering.

Module 2: Content Ingestion and Origin Management

  • Configuring origin shield settings to prevent traffic surges from overwhelming origin servers during cache misses.
  • Establishing secure origin connections using mutual TLS and managing certificate lifecycle across multiple domains.
  • Setting up dynamic origin selection based on geolocation or content type for multi-origin architectures.
  • Optimizing large file upload workflows using Verizon’s Aspera integration for media ingest pipelines.
  • Implementing origin request throttling to protect backend systems during flash traffic events.
  • Validating origin health checks and adjusting timeout thresholds to reduce false-positive outages.

Module 3: Caching Strategy and Performance Optimization

  • Defining cache key normalization rules to handle query string variations without sacrificing hit rates.
  • Configuring time-based and event-driven cache purging for time-sensitive content updates.
  • Using cache tags to manage content invalidation across related assets in complex publishing workflows.
  • Implementing stale-while-revalidate policies to maintain availability during origin fetch delays.
  • Adjusting TTLs based on content volatility and user access patterns using historical analytics.
  • Enabling dynamic content caching for personalized responses while avoiding user data leakage.

Module 4: Security Configuration and Threat Mitigation

  • Deploying DDoS protection rules at the edge with rate limiting thresholds tuned to application behavior.
  • Configuring Web Application Firewall (WAF) policies to block OWASP Top 10 threats without breaking legitimate traffic.
  • Managing SSL/TLS certificate provisioning and rotation across domains using automated workflows.
  • Enforcing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) and managing preload list submissions.
  • Implementing tokenized URLs for secure content access and setting token expiration policies.
  • Reviewing and auditing edge ACLs to restrict access by IP, geography, or user agent patterns.

Module 5: Video Delivery and Adaptive Streaming

  • Configuring origin storage and manifest handling for HLS and DASH streaming workloads.
  • Optimizing segment caching behavior for live vs. on-demand video streams.
  • Setting up Just-in-Time (JIT) packaging for secure multi-DRM delivery workflows.
  • Monitoring video start time and rebuffering rates using Verizon’s Real User Monitoring (RUM) data.
  • Integrating with client-side analytics SDKs to correlate CDN metrics with viewer QoE.
  • Scaling edge capacity in advance of scheduled live events using traffic forecasting models.

Module 6: Analytics, Monitoring, and Troubleshooting

  • Building custom dashboards using Verizon’s Insights API for traffic, cache efficiency, and error rates.
  • Correlating edge logs with internal application logs to diagnose performance bottlenecks.
  • Setting up alerting thresholds for sudden drops in cache hit ratio or increases in 5xx errors.
  • Conducting forensic analysis of cache misses using detailed access logs and cache status codes.
  • Exporting raw log data to SIEM systems for security incident investigations.
  • Validating CDN configuration changes through controlled canary rollouts and A/B testing.

Module 7: Integration with DevOps and Automation

  • Managing CDN configurations as code using version-controlled JSON templates and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Automating domain provisioning and certificate binding using Verizon’s REST APIs.
  • Integrating cache purge operations into deployment workflows for zero-downtime releases.
  • Implementing role-based access control (RBAC) for CDN configuration changes across teams.
  • Using infrastructure-as-code tools to replicate environments across staging and production.
  • Auditing configuration drift by comparing deployed settings against source-of-truth repositories.

Module 8: Compliance, Governance, and Multi-Tenant Operations

  • Mapping CDN data flows to meet GDPR, CCPA, and other regional data residency requirements.
  • Enabling logging and audit trails for regulatory compliance reporting and third-party audits.
  • Isolating configurations and access for multiple business units within a single enterprise account.
  • Managing domain ownership verification and DNS delegation for large-scale domain portfolios.
  • Enforcing content policies at the edge for prohibited file types or restricted geographies.
  • Reviewing and updating SLA-aligned operational procedures for incident escalation and resolution.
