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.

Load Balancing
HTTP/HTTPS
HTTP/HTTPS load balancing can balance HTTP and HTTPS traffic across multiple Compute Engine instances, allowing you to use a cluster of virtual machines to serve your Compute Engine traffic. Your entire app is available via a single global IP address, resulting in a much simplified DNS setup. HTTP/HTTPS load balancing is scalable, fault-tolerant, and requires no pre-warming.

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.
