Content Delivery Network (CDN) has been emerged as a compelling technology to provide efficient and scalable web services even under high client request. However, this leads to a dilemma between minimum deployment cost and robust service under heavy loads. To solve this problem, we propose the Workload Automation Engine (WAE) which enables dynamic resource management, automated scaling and rapid service deployment with least cost for CDN providers. Our modular design uses an algorithm to calculate the optimal assignment of virtual CDN functions such as streaming, progressive delivering and load balancer. In particular, we study on real CDN data which belongs to Medianova CDN Company in Turkey. Also we use Docker containerization as an underlying system. The results reveal that our containerized design reduces the latency and deployment cost by 45 efficiency and 35
