Abstract
A plurality of virtual content delivery network nodes are implemented using virtualization infrastructure of at least one processing platform. The processing platform is implemented using at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory. Each of the virtual content delivery network nodes comprises one or more virtual network function instances of a network functions virtualization framework of the virtualization infrastructure. The virtual content delivery network nodes may be dynamically added to, modified in and deleted from at least one virtual content delivery network in accordance with one or more specified policy criteria. A virtual content delivery network control plane may be arranged as an overlay relative to the network functions virtualization framework of the virtualization infrastructure. The virtual content delivery network control plane communicates with the network functions virtualization framework via one or more application programming interfaces.
