Google Cloud Digital LeaderDigital transformation with Google CloudEasy
A global media company is migrating its massive video content library to Google Cloud. They need to ensure that their content is delivered to viewers worldwide with the lowest possible latency and highest availability, regardless of their geographical location. This requires caching content close to users and efficiently handling sudden traffic surges for popular events. Which Google Cloud service is designed to meet these content delivery requirements?
- ACloud Load Balancing
- BCloud Storage
- CCloud CDN
- DCloud Interconnect
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Cloud CDN
Cloud CDN (Content Delivery Network) is specifically designed to deliver web and video content to users with low latency by caching it at edge locations globally, making it ideal for a global media company's needs.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Cloud Load Balancing distributes traffic across backend instances, but doesn't specifically cache content at edge locations for global low-latency delivery.
- B. Cloud Storage stores the content, but Cloud CDN delivers it efficiently to users.
- D. Cloud Interconnect provides private connectivity between on-premises networks and Google Cloud, not for content delivery to end-users.
Cloud CDN
Google Cloud's Content Delivery Network that delivers web and video content from Google's globally distributed edge caches, reducing latency and improving user experience.
- Caches content at points of presence (PoPs) worldwide.
- Reduces load on origin servers and lowers egress costs.
- Integrates seamlessly with Google Cloud Load Balancing and Cloud Storage.
Memory trick: CDN makes content 'C-D-N' (See-D-Now) fast for everyone.
