Abstract
Techniques for managing encoder configuration based on content delivery network performance are described. A computer-implemented method may include obtaining availability metrics from one or more content delivery networks (CDNs), the availability metrics associated with one or more content streams provided by the one or more CDNs, determining at least one CDN has less than a threshold capacity based at least on the availability metrics, and sending a request to one or more encoders associated with the one or more content streams to reduce a quality of at least one of the one or more content streams based at least on the availability metrics.
