Google Cloud Digital LeaderInfrastructure modernization with Google CloudEasy
A global media company hosts its video streaming platform on Google Cloud. They want to ensure that users worldwide experience low-latency access to video content and reduce the load on their origin servers. Which Google Cloud networking product is designed to achieve this goal?
- ACloud VPN
- BCloud Interconnect
- CCloud CDN
- DCloud DNS
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Cloud CDN
Cloud CDN (Content Delivery Network) caches content at edge locations globally, closer to users. This reduces latency by serving content from the nearest cache and offloads traffic from origin servers, making it ideal for a global video streaming platform.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Cloud VPN establishes secure connections between networks, not for content delivery to end-users.
- B. Cloud Interconnect provides high-bandwidth connections between on-premises networks and Google Cloud, not for global end-user content delivery.
- D. Cloud DNS manages domain name resolution, not content caching or delivery optimization.
