Techniques for invalidating cached content managed by content delivery networks

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to invalidate cached content stored within a content delivery network by performing the steps of:

• receiving an invalidation instruction from a control server, wherein the invalidation instruction includes at least one attribute;
• receiving a first request for a first object stored in the content delivery network, wherein the first object is associated with a first set of attributes;
• determining that the first set of attributes includes the at least one attribute;
• and
• removing the first object from the content delivery network.

A system comprising:

• one or more memories storing instructions;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories that, when executing the instructions, perform the steps of:
• receiving an invalidation instruction from a control server, wherein the invalidation instruction includes at least one attribute,
• receiving a first request for a first object stored in the content delivery network, wherein the first object is associated with a first set of attributes,
• determining that the first set of attributes includes the at least one attribute, and
• removing the first object from the content delivery network.
