A media company needs to implement a CDN solution for their global audience to deliver video content with low latency and high availability. They also want to cache content dynamically based on user requests. Which Google Cloud networking service should they use?
- ACloud Router
- BCloud VPN
- CCloud Load Balancing with IAP
- DCloud CDN
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. Cloud CDN
Cloud CDN (Content Delivery Network) is designed to serve web and video content with low latency to a global user base by caching content at Google's edge locations. It integrates with Cloud Load Balancing and supports dynamic caching.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Cloud Router is for exchanging route information between Google Cloud VPC networks and on-premises networks, not a CDN service.
- B. Cloud VPN is for secure connections between on-premises networks and Google Cloud, not for content delivery to a global audience.
- C. Cloud Load Balancing can distribute traffic, but Cloud CDN is the specific service for caching and delivering content globally with low latency. IAP is for access control.
Cloud CDN
Google Cloud's Content Delivery Network leverages Google's global network to cache content close to users, reducing latency and serving costs for static and dynamic content.
- Caches content at edge locations.
- Reduces latency and origin server load.
- Integrates with HTTP(S) Load Balancing.
- Supports static and dynamic content caching.
