- Delivery: Anycast serves static files and prepared live HLS/LL-HLS streams. Your live media origin supplies encoded content.
- Media: Video CDN repackages VOD into HLS, MPEG-DASH and other formats without transcoding. Encrypted streams can be delivered, while DRM licensing remains in your own stack. RTMP and RTSP are explicitly unsupported.
- Caching and protection: Origin Shield, signed URLs, IP/geographic controls, purge and API warm-up are listed. Check purge completion before depending on refreshed content.
- Images and protocols: URL-based image resizing/cropping uses imgproxy. HTTP/2 is listed; HTTP/3 is explicitly not available yet.
Request-rate controls support a burst allowance and counters per IP or subnet. WebSockets are not supported; the service uses HTTP(S) delivery.
