Google Cloud CDN -FAQ’s
How do I set up Google Cloud CDN?
To set up Google Cloud CDN, create a Google Cloud Storage bucket or deploy your website on a Google Cloud Load Balancer, then enable and configure Cloud CDN for the desired backend service in the Google Cloud Console. This enhances content delivery by caching assets at Google’s globally distributed edge locations.
Does Google Cloud have a CDN?
Yes, Google Cloud provides a content delivery network (CDN) service known as Google Cloud CDN. It accelerates content delivery by caching assets at Google’s edge locations for faster and more efficient access.
How To Setup Google Cloud CDN?
A Google Cloud CDN (Content Delivery Network) uses the Google global network to serve static resources such as media files like images and videos, CSS stylesheets, JavaScript files, and so on with lower latency and higher transfer speed. This cloud CDN will permit users to access the webpage content from the nearest edge location. Google Cloud CDN also reduces the stress on the backend server by sharing the content with the cloud CDN, which is available in 130+ edge locations.
Google Cloud CDN works with a load balancer to deliver the content to the end user. When users request any content from a website, that request will arrive at the edge of the Google network that is nearest to them.
- If the requested content is not present at the edge location server, Google Cloud CDN (Content Delivery Network) retrieves the requested content from the backend, which means the original server. This is also known as “Cache Miss.”
- In a content delivery network such as Google Cloud CDN, if the requested content is present, then CDN can fulfill the request of the user. This is known as a “Cache Hit”
