Cloud Networking

Google's network technology helps provide fast and consistent performance for
your apps and services.

Overview

Over the past 15 years, Google has built one of the most advanced computer networks. Google's backbone network has thousands of miles of fiber optic cables, uses advanced software-defined networking and has edge caching services to deliver fast, consistent and scalable performance. In fact, we even lay our own under-sea fiber optic cables.

Google uses software-defined networking technology to route packets across the globe and enable fast edge-caching so that your data is where it needs to be to serve your users. When every millisecond of latency counts, Google helps make sure that your content is delivered quickly.

Products

Load Balancing

HTTP

HTTP load balancing can balance HTTP-based traffic across multiple Compute Engine instances, allowing you to use a cluster of virtual machines to serve your HTTP traffic. Your entire app is exposed via one single global external IP address, resulting in much simplified DNS setup. HTTP load balancing is scalable, requires no pre-warming and gives you more resilience and fault tolerance.

Network

Network load balancing can spread TCP and UDP based traffic over a pool of instances within a Compute Engine region. Its health check helps ensure only healthy instances are used to handle the traffic. It is scalable and does not require pre-warming.
