What is Cloud CDN?
Cloud CDN(Content Delivery Network) is a specialized service in cloud computing that focuses on optimizing the delivery of content to users. It is optimized for serving in web assets like dynamic HTML files, CSS, and JavaScript.
For example, suppose your website is based in Canada. If someone from the United States (US) accesses your site, the CDN serves that user from an edge server in the US, closer to the user, instead of from your Canada-based origin server for the web page. A CDN contains a network of geographically distributed servers placed in different locations across the world. The servers used by them are called edge servers which store cached copies of static content like images etc. CDN should be used whenever HTTP traffic is served. CDN is a content delivery network that helps in accelerating web and video content delivery using Google’s Global Edge.
