Special Service Guide Update for August 2, 2018
Fastly's Varnish Control Language (VCL) documentation has been given a new home. To make language details easier to find when creating configurations using VCL logic, we've redesigned our existing VCL reference information and moved it to a central location at https://docs.fastly.com/vcl/. Existing VCL tutorial information can still be found at https://docs.fastly.com/guides/vcl-tutorials/.
Older content updates are also available.
