Abstract
CND load balancing in the cloud. Server resources are allocated at an edge data center of a content delivery network to properties that are being serviced by edge data center. Based on near real-time data, properties are sorted by trending traffic at the edge data center. Server resources are allocated for at least one property of the sorted properties at the edge data center. The server resources are allocated based on rules developed from long-term trends. The resource allocation includes calculating server needs for the property in a partition at the edge data center, and allocating the server needs for the property to available servers in the partition.
