Google Cloud Platform Networking

Cloud CDN

Google Cloud CDN handles content delivery for assets hosted on-premises or in other clouds, routing traffic through Google’s distributed network. It acts as a caching layer to speed up access to existing infrastructure without requiring a full migration to Google’s storage services. This setup is useful for hybrid architectures where you want to leverage Google’s edge network while keeping your origin servers elsewhere.

The pricing model is strictly pay-as-you-go with no free tier, which limits experimentation for small projects or developers testing new features. Costs start at $0.0075 per 10K requests, so while the entry point is low, the absence of a free allowance means every byte served incurs a charge. This makes it less attractive for hobbyists or low-traffic prototypes compared to competitors offering free quotas.
