Automated cache buckets using mirrors for content distribution networks (CDN)

Abstract:

A method for execution by one or more processing modules of one or more computing devices of a dispersed storage network (DSN), the method begins by receiving a dispersed storage network (DSN) access request and determining an endpoint address from which the DSN access request is originating. The method continues by determining a first geographic location based on the endpoint address. The method continues by determining a target bucket and object the DSN access request is associated with and determining a second geographic location of the target bucket. For differing first and second geographic locations, the method continues by creating a mirror bucket in the first geographic location and configuring an access layer to route future DSN access requests to the mirror bucket based on TTL needs.
