A VOD zone is a video-on-demand cache. Treat video as its own zone type so reporting, security and TTLs are not mixed with CSS.
When to use VOD
- Catalog video, course libraries, progressive download.
- HDDN (High Definition Distribution Network) workloads.
- Paid files that need EdgeSecurity.
Mezzanines can be pushed; derivatives can be pulled. Live events belong on a live zone. 2013 post: HDDN announcement.
Support: VOD knowledge base.
