Abstract
Dynamic scaling of a service in a CDN is performed using content request response times from service instances executing in regions in the CDN. Response times for similar content requests can be aggregated for each region. A cost calculation for each region may be evaluated in conjunction with the associated response time by the service instantiations to decide whether the service should be scaled up or down.
