Google CDN Beta is already one of the fastest CDNs

Why don't you compare Google's CDN to CloudFlare?

Seems ironic that the linked site doesn't load (at least for me)

Nothing beats an uncached WordPress blog ;).

> Cloud CDN is Google’s own CDN solution for sites running in VMs inside Compute Engine. It is designed and implemented a bit differently from other CDNs, since it is meant to cache not only static content, but practically a whole site in more than 50 edge caches globally.

I'm not seeing what's so special here. Other CDNs can do whole-site acceleration and caching (Akamai Sureroute, EdgeCast ADN).

> It is a whole new take in the concept of CDNs, going way further than simply caching files, since it is directly integrated into their Load Balancing system and it literally means that a copy of your site will be running and serving from the closest location to your customers, with a single public IP address thanks to Anycast.

This makes it sound like Google is magically making your GCE instances run in each of their POPs. What if those instances need to share state? What happens when a page does 10 SQL queries to a server halfway around the world?
