ROCKIT Edge Deployment describes where the generated ROCKIT Images and ROCKIT Patches should be published. Typically, ROCKIT files are deployed to object storages which will act as origins for CDNs. Currently, the following origin configurations are supported by ROCKIT Edge: Origin:
The CDN which will be linked to the above mentioned origin must match the following requirements for smooth operation of the ROCKIT FastStart technology:
Support of GET
Support of HTTP Range headers
Average fetch time of a random data range of 200 kiB in less than 300 ms
If ROCKIT Edge should be used along with the ROCKIT StreamInstaller (or any game launcher using this API), ROCKIT Edge can also perform the necessary CDN download authentication. The following download authentications can be handled by ROCKIT Edge: Download Authentication (ROCKIT StreamInstaller support):
Akamai CDN
Gcore CDN
Please note, that the download authentication is not necessary to be managed by ROCKIT Edge. During the initial setup of a new ROCKIT Edge Organization the deployment should be defined first. This section discusses the currently available options.
