Lightweight Content Delivery Network (CDN) based on UDP and deployed on gcloud (using gcloud VM instances). gcloud firewall rules need to be set appropriately to allow content distribution.
lb --> Load Balancer Node (Clients)
node --> Internal Nodes
orchestrator.py --> Gcloud wrapper script used to provision the CDN
Notes:
- Internal Nodes have two possible types: 0 --> orchestrator | 1 --> internal.
- Orchestrator Nodes are the initial static nodes responsible for descovering other nodes in the inner ring.
- Each Client (Load Balancer Node) has a exposed Flask app where content can be pushed + pulled.
Steps:
- Install gcloud CLI & authenticate.
- Set credentials in node.
- Use orchestrator to start the internal ring and client apps.
