Ftp Work — Cdn1discovery
This is where the FTP work comes into play. Before content can be discovered by the end-user, it must be deposited into the system. Historically, and in many legacy systems still in operation today, FTP serves as the bridge between the content creator and the CDN infrastructure. The "cdn1discovery" aspect implies a workflow where files are uploaded via FTP to a specific ingestion point, triggering a discovery process where the CDN indexes the new file, replicates it across the network, and prepares it for delivery. Without the reliable, binary-safe transfer capabilities of FTP, the discovery pipeline would run dry.
