Google Cloud CDN

 

• The Google Cloud CDN (content delivery network) service accelerates your web content delivery by using Google’s global edge network to bring content as close to the user as possible.
• It helps you reduce latency, cost, and load for your backend services.

Features

• Activates with a single click for Cloud Load Balancing users.
• Cloud CDN supports modern protocols originally developed at Google, like HTTP/2 and QUIC.
• Integrates with Cloud Monitoring and Cloud Logging by providing latency metrics and raw HTTP request logs for deeper and better visibility.
• Logs can be exported to Cloud Storage or BigQuery for analysis.
• Cloud CDN content can be sourced from several types of backends including:
  • Instance groups
  • Zonal network endpoint groups (NEGs)
  • Serverless NEGs: One or more App Engine, Cloud Run, or Cloud Functions services
  • Internet NEGs, for endpoints that are outside of Google Cloud (also known as custom origins)
  • Buckets in Cloud Storage
• Cloud CDN also delivers content hosted on-premises or in another cloud over Google’s high-performance distributed edge caching infrastructure.

Pricing

• When Cloud CDN serves your content, you’re charged for:
  • Bandwidth
  • HTTP/HTTPS requests.
• You are also charged for cache invalidations you initiate.
