Cloud CDN works with the global external Application Load Balancer and the classic Application Load Balancer to deliver content to your users. The external Application Load Balancer provides the frontend IP addresses and ports that receive requests and the backends (or origins) that respond to the requests.
Cloud CDN content can be sourced from various types of backends.
Use the following guides to set up Cloud CDN:
- With a managed instance group backend
- With a Cloud Storage backend bucket
- With Cloud Run, Cloud Run functions, or App Engine
- With third-party object storage
- With an external backend by using an internet NEG
- With Google Kubernetes Engine by configuring Ingress features
