Summary:
Google Cloud CDN (Content Delivery Network) leverages Google's globally distributed edge points of presence to accelerate content delivery for websites and applications served out of Google Cloud. It is designed to provide high-performance, scalable, and secure content delivery to end-users, reducing latency and improving the user experience. By caching content closer to users, Google Cloud CDN efficiently delivers data and applications with reduced load times. It integrates seamlessly with Google Cloud services, offering an optimal solution for businesses aiming to enhance their web presence, scale dynamically, and manage traffic spikes effectively.
Key Features:
- Global Distribution: Utilizes Google’s globally distributed network, ensuring fast content delivery to users worldwide.
- Integrated with Google Cloud Storage: Seamlessly integrates with Google Cloud Storage for easy content management and delivery.
- HTTPS Load Balancing: Provides secure and scalable HTTPS load balancing, leveraging Google's infrastructure for SSL/TLS encryption.
- Intelligent Caching: Uses advanced caching algorithms for high cache hit rates, reducing the need to fetch content from the origin server.
