Google Cloud Digital LeaderInfrastructure modernization with Google CloudEasy
A video streaming platform needs to serve high-definition video content globally with low latency to its users. They want to reduce the load on their origin servers and improve user experience by caching content closer to the users. Which Google Cloud networking product should they utilize for this purpose?
- ACloud Router
- BCloud VPN
- CCloud CDN
- DCloud Load Balancing
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Cloud CDN
Cloud CDN (Content Delivery Network) caches web and video content at edge locations around the world, closer to users. This significantly reduces latency and offloads traffic from origin servers, which is crucial for a global video streaming platform.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Cloud Router facilitates dynamic routing between Google Cloud and on-premises networks, not content delivery.
- B. Cloud VPN connects on-premises networks to Google Cloud securely, not for content delivery.
- D. Cloud Load Balancing distributes incoming traffic across multiple instances, but doesn't cache content at edge locations.
