Google Cloud CDN CORS
Google Cloud CDN does not directly handle Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) configurations. CORS is typically managed at the origin server level, where the content originates. However, you can configure CORS headers at the origin server to allow or restrict access to resources served through Google Cloud CDN. By setting appropriate CORS headers, you can control which origins are allowed to access your resources and define the HTTP methods that are permitted for cross-origin requests.
To configure CORS headers for resources served through Google Cloud CDN, you would typically configure these settings on the origin server or use a content delivery service like Cloud Storage or Cloud Storage for Firebase, which allows you to specify CORS configurations for your stored objects. Once the appropriate CORS headers are set, Google Cloud CDN will honor these settings when serving content to clients.
What is Google Cloud CDN?
Cloud CDN will cache the content at edge locations that are located around the world. By doing so, we can reduce the latency, which improves the performance of our applications. It will enable users to access the content from nearby edge locations, regardless of the app or website you have, there’s a reasonable probability that your users are dispersed across the globe and aren’t necessarily local to your servers.
This implies that the requests go over a wide area of the public internet, resulting in unpredictable and annoying user experiences. In this situation, Cloud CDN is useful.
