## CDN Integration & Edge Embedding

To deliver customized watermarks to end-users in real time, DoveRunner integrates with edge computing features across major CDNs. These embedders validate tokens issued by the Session Manager and dynamically stitch the correct A/B segments.

### 1. Amazon CloudFront
* **Documentation:** [CloudFront Embedder Guide](https://docs.doverunner.com/content-security/forensic-watermarking/embedding/cloudfront-embedder/)
* **Details:** Utilizes edge triggers to parse watermark session data and serve the customized variant manifest seamlessly to the viewer.

### 2. Cloudflare
* **Documentation:** [CDN Embedder with Cloudflare Workers](https://docs.doverunner.com/content-security/forensic-watermarking/embedding/cloudflare-embedder/)
* **Details:** Powered by Cloudflare Workers and R2 storage configurations (`wrangler.jsonc`) to validate AES/JWT watermark tokens and fetch appropriate segments directly at the edge.

### 3. Akamai
* **Documentation:** [Akamai CDN Integration Guide](https://docs.doverunner.com/content-security/forensic-watermarking/embedding/akamai-integration/)
* **Details:** Leverages Akamai's edge platform capabilities (such as Watermark Token verification) to execute real-time variant switching based on user identity.
