Abstract
One embodiment relates to a device for resource orchestration configured to receive the following from a device for management of a digital content delivery service: a request for allocating content delivery resources and a characteristic representative of a level of service that is allocated to a provider of the content and concerning delivery of content. The device is configured to verify whether resources capable of delivering the content in compliance with the level of service characteristic are available from a determined set of resources comprising physical resources already deployed in a physical content delivery network and virtual resources already instantiated for the provider, and if it is detected that the available resources are insufficient, request the allocation of new physical resources in the physical content delivery network and/or the instantiation of new virtual resources for delivering the content.
