Abstract

Purging resources from a cache in a distributed networked system is described. A first data center of the distributed networked system receives a purge request to purge a resource from cache. If the purge request does not include a cache key, the first data center determines whether the purge request is valid, and if valid, purges the resource from cache of the first data center, generates a cache key for the resource, and causes the purge request that includes the generated cache key to be sent to other data centers of the distributed networked system for purging the resource from cache. If the purge request includes a cache key, the first data center skips determining whether the purge request is valid and purges the resource from cache based on the cache key.
