A global media company is planning to deploy a new video streaming platform on Google Cloud. The platform needs to deliver high-quality video content to users worldwide with minimal latency and provide advanced analytics on user engagement and content performance. Which Google Cloud service should they use for content delivery to achieve these goals?
- AVPC Service Controls
- BCloud CDN
- CCloud DNS
- DCloud Storage
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Cloud CDN
Cloud CDN (Content Delivery Network) is designed to serve content closer to users globally, reducing latency and improving performance. It integrates with Cloud Storage and Compute Engine.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. VPC Service Controls enhance data security by creating security perimeters, not for content delivery.
- C. Cloud DNS is a global DNS service for resolving domain names, not for serving content.
- D. Cloud Storage is for storing data, not primarily for low-latency global content delivery.
