A global e-commerce company uses Google Cloud and wants to improve the performance and availability of its web application for users worldwide. They need to cache static content closer to users and terminate SSL/TLS at the edge of Google's network. Which Google Cloud service is best suited for this requirement?
- ACloud Interconnect
- BCloud DNS
- CCloud CDN
- DCloud VPN
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Cloud CDN
Cloud CDN (Content Delivery Network) is designed to cache static content at edge locations globally and provides SSL/TLS termination at the edge, significantly improving performance and availability for geographically dispersed users.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Cloud Interconnect provides high-bandwidth, low-latency connections between on-premises and Google Cloud, not content delivery or caching.
- B. Cloud DNS manages domain name resolution, not content delivery or SSL termination.
- D. Cloud VPN provides secure connections between networks, not content caching or SSL termination at the edge.
Cloud CDN
Cloud CDN leverages Google's global edge network to cache content close to users, reducing latency and offloading origin servers.
- Global content caching
- SSL/TLS termination at edge
- Reduces latency and origin load
Memory trick: Faster web means content at the edge, served with a secure smile.
