Content Delivery software components enable the deployment and processing of published content. Some Content Delivery software components combine with Content Manager software components to produce an overall feature.
Core Server Roles and nonessential Server Roles Content Delivery functionality consists of a number of Server Roles. We distinguish between core Server Roles, which are always needed to get the product up and running, and nonessential features, which you may or may not install based on business needs.
Software components and deployment types Each Server Role consists of one or more software components. Software components come in a number of deployment types.
Standalone microservices and a reverse proxy Use a reverse proxy to combine Web application features such as response compression and URL forwarding with the easy deployment and configuration of Content Delivery standalone microservices. Refer to your Web application server vendor's documentation to learn more about how to set up a reverse proxy in a Web application.
