A global media company is hosting its video streaming platform on Google Cloud. They need to deliver video content to users worldwide with extremely low latency and high transfer speeds, while also minimizing egress costs. Which Google Cloud networking product would help them achieve this?
- AGoogle Cloud Interconnect
- BGoogle Cloud CDN
- CGoogle Cloud VPN
- DGoogle Cloud Load Balancing
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Google Cloud CDN
Google Cloud CDN (Content Delivery Network) caches content closer to users globally, reducing latency and improving transfer speeds, and often lowers egress costs by serving content from edge locations rather than the origin server.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Cloud Interconnect provides private connections between networks, not for distributing public content to end-users.
- C. Cloud VPN provides secure connections over the public internet, not optimized for global content delivery.
- D. Cloud Load Balancing distributes traffic to backend services, but Cloud CDN is the specific service for caching and delivering content at the edge.
