This week’s episode of Two Minute Tech Tuesday explains how the built-in Varnish Configuration Language (VCL) works. The built-in VCL is VCL code that is executed by default, even if you don't write any VCL yourself.
This week’s episode is about VCL — the Varnish Configuration Language — which is used to define your own caching policies in Varnish Cache and Varnish Enterprise, and the number one feature in Varnish.
If you've read a few of my blog posts, you probably already know I love the VCL (Varnish Configuration Language) idea, big time. Being able to change the processing logic via code opens a world of possibilities and makes pretty much all other tools feel constrained in their configurations. But...
But, well, VCL is code, and code is scary to a lot of users, and I can understand when you begin with Varnish and only have very limited configuration needs, VCL can feel complicated and some would prefer a simple, declarative language. The good news is that it's totally possible, let's see how we can help!
The Varnish blog is where our team writes about all things related to Varnish Cache and Varnish Software...or simply vents.
