Of course, there are other ways to configure sensitive values but I don't think it's necessarily obvious or front of mind when updating config and I honestly can't see (as someone who configures multiple services on Akamai regularly) why this feature is needed.
Unsure if it can be disabled or auth'd but I don't see any way to do that.
There are some docs which cover it a little bit: techdocs.akamai.com/download-d.
Just though it might not be common knowledge.

Akamai has what I personally think is a seriously risky mechanism for debugging HTTP requests/responses. You can send an HTTP request header of `pragma: akamai-x-get-extracted-values` for a URL served via Akamai & it'll return `x-akamai-session-info` response headers which include user-defined config variables - that's where the main risk is IMO. People may well not realise this feature exists & use the vars for sensitive info e.g. backend auth keys.

Espechally since we live in the #AgeOfAbundance and nowadays the cost for distributing even a #AAA #Game or #Movie is merely the cost of #Storage and #Bandwith, so at worst a whole Euro if we're talking #PayAsYouGo - #Akamai with no minimums to get stuff distributed.

#Akamai is hiring for a Senior Product Architect in the US for our designing the next generation of our Compute Networking (eg, #Linode and more) solutions such as VPC, L4 Load Balancing, Cloud Firewall, etc. This is a great opportunity to design #IPv6 centric systems (but still needing to support Legacy IPv4).

I've been at Akamai for 25+ years and love working here, with both flexible work options, great colleagues, and an inclusive environment.

#Akamai announces its PQ-TLS plans:akamai.com/blog/security/takin

What it doesn't say: Kyber/25519 Akamai to origin before end of year. Enabled for all, start upgrading your origins now :)

Soon, ML-KEM/25519 and ML-KEM/P256 in addition to Kyber/25519 client to Akamai. That might require an opt-in configuration.

Shortly thereafter, all internal Akamai connections will do ML-KEM/P256 to get both PQ safety and FIPS.

apparently RT have uploaded Julian Assange's interviews to odysee, a cloudflare service. does RT take their reader's privacy serious, maybe not as much as they signal :(

its the same across almost ALL media outlets tho, and if you browse RTs website with tor broser in safest mode, is probably one of the better sites out there!

for comparison #ABCnewsaustralia is i understand WHOLEY served and tracked by akamai now. if memory serves they also use bloody amazon!!...pretty sickening stuff when u consider they are supposed to be the "national broadcaster", lol #technofascism

First came the crushing traffic and the hack attacks. Now Al Jazeera has lost Web server support for its troubled Internet news efforts.

Akamai Technologies, which provided Web server services to the Arabic news network, abruptly canceled its contract Wednesday after working a short time with the organization. Akamai has more than 13,000 servers worldwide that store data on behalf of clients.

"Akamai worked briefly this week with Al Jazeera to understand the issues they are having distributing their Web sites. We ultimately decided not to continue a customer relationship with Al Jazeera, and we are not going to be providing them our services," according to a statement released by Akamai. The company declined to elaborate on the reasons.

It is unclear what effect Akamai's decision has had or will have on Al Jazeera's Arabic and English-language sites. Its new English-language site was down temporarily this week but was accessible again Friday morning.

The news organization has drawn controversy for its coverage of the war in Iraq. Critics have charged the agency with providing biased coverage, but others have welcomed it as an alternative source of information from the conflict.

A year and a half ago, Cambridge, Mass.-based Akamai found itself caught in the turmoil that has flared up between the United States and the Islamic world. The company's co-founder and chief technical officer, Daniel Lewin, was aboard one of the hijacked flights that crashed into New York's World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.

The end of the Akamai relationship is the latest setback for Al Jazeera's Web efforts. Both the Arabic and English versions of the Web site were vandalized last month--visitors were greeted with an American flag and a pro-U.S. message. The apparent hack came on the heels of severe outages caused by waves of traffic.

Al Jazeera also has had to deal with U.S.-based sites declining to run its advertisements. American Online said that it is not accepting Al Jazeera ads because it generally does not carry advertising for competitors of its content partners--in this case, ABC News.com and CNN.com, both of which have prominent placement across AOL properties. CNN and AOL are both subsidiaries of AOL Time Warner.

In addition, the news organization's financial correspondents were shut out of the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq last month shortly after the U.S. Defense Department complained of Al Jazeera's coverage that showed dead U.S. soldiers and American prisoners of war held by Iraq.

Al Jazeera is headquartered in Doha, Qatar, one of the Persian Gulf nations providing bases for U.S. forces. The news channel could not immediately be reached for comment.
