Benefits
Global distribution with anycast IP
With edge caches peered with nearly every major end-user ISP globally. With anycast architecture, your site gets a single global IP address, providing consistent performance worldwide with easy management.
Supports hybrid and multicloud architecture
Cloud CDN enables customers to deliver content hosted on-premises or in another cloud over Google’s high-performance distributed edge caching infrastructure.
Optimized for last mile performance
Cloud CDN supports modern protocols originally developed at Google, like HTTP/2 and QUIC, to improve site performance for mobile users and/or users in emerging markets.
Key features
Key features
Origin and backend support
Pull content from any HTTP-capable origin, including Compute Engine, Cloud Storage and Google Kubernetes Engine backends and origins outside of Google Cloud, such as storage buckets in other clouds.
Caching
Configure caching behavior by origin that allows you to have fine-grained control over cache keys, TTLs, and other caching features based on the content type being served. Use dynamic compression to reduce data size by over 60% and improve page performance.
Route matching and origin selection
Cloud CDN uses Cloud Load Balancing to provide comprehensive routing and configuration capabilities at each edge location.
