What are the steps to integrate AEM with Akamai ?

I want to integrate AEM 6.5 with Akamai to handle replication and caching.

Is their any documentation for implementation of Akamai with AEM ?

    If you get your expiration headers right on AEM/dispatcher side, just configure Akamai to use your AEM instance as origin and configure it to acept the expiration dates provided by AEM.

    Then you don't need to write any code which connects AEM with Akamai.

    Yes, I agree with you but I need some steps to configure AEM with Akamai and sample service utility class code to understand how to connect AEM with Akamai.

    There is no specific way how AEM should integrate.

    Adobe Consulting typically recommends to use only TTL-based expiration, so there's no need to deal with active invalidation on Akamai side. That works quite well in most cases and delivers the expected benefit of Akmai.

      Hello, Can we talk about this again? Akamai has improved their system and cache can be purged within seconds by their API or console app. This has made the AEM integration with Akamai on cache purging more meaningful. Akamai should be configured to cache content with a long time period to improve page loading performance. AEM/Akamai is a such common setup for most of Adobe customers, I wonder why Adobe cannot have an out of box service component doing the integration.
