What is the difference b/w Push CDN & Pull CDN?
Pull CDN (Standard):
User asks for image.jpg.
image.jpg
CDN doesn't have it.
CDN asks your Server.
CDN saves it.
Next user gets it fast.
This needs Low maintenance.
Push CDN:
You upload image.jpg to the CDN before anyone asks for it.
This gives High control.
Use Case:
Netflix uses Push.
They pre-load movies to servers in your city at 4 AM so they are ready when you wake up
