Configuring the CSS
This chapter provides information on service, owner, and content rules, and how
to configure the CSS through configuration scripts. This chapter contains the
following sections:
• Service, Owner, and Content Rule Overview
• Using the Configuration Script
Service, Owner, and Content Rule Overview
The CSS enables you to configure services, owners, and content rules to direct
requests for content to a specific destination service (for example, a server or a
port on a server). By configuring services, owners, and content rules, you
optimize and control how the CSS handles each request for specific content.
• A service is a destination location where a piece of content resides physically
(a local or remote server and port). You add services to content rules. Adding
a service to a content rule includes it in the resource pool that the CSS uses
for load balancing requests for content. A service may belong to multiple
content rules.
• An owner is generally the person or company who contracts the web hosting
service to host their web content and allocate bandwidth as required.
