#22Anyone want to start a pool on how long until Google shuts it down when it doesn't end up as #1 in the market?
You can't have a convincing cloud story without CDN. I'm an Azure guy but Google's investment here is clear. I'll take that bet.

#23"it's already one of the fastest" ... wouldn't we expect a new service, with lots of empty cache tables and available free ram, to be faster than the established players?

#25Seems ironic that the linked site doesn't load (at least for me)
It's working again.

#27Question: How do cdns serve/shard data ? Meaning, in a pop, there are say 100 nodes, and all of them cache some data, say by hashing the path /ayb.jpg. Does the loadbalancer (say, haproxy) know which node should-have the file cached ? Or there is random loadbalancing and each node get's the data from the other nodes (using the same hash)? Just like openstack-swift (there are proxy that serve http-requests, and data n…
Probably each CDN does it differently... but the one I know about does the second.... so it goes LB, first webserver on random node, and that first webserver knows where to grab the content from the second webserver on the proper node that has the content.

#28> 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…
That's definitely a misunderstanding on the author's part. I think our own landing page ( https://cloud.google.com/cdn/ ) actually makes this clear: there are caches at the edge, but we (currently) deeply understand your origin (our compute engine VMs) and don't require any funny modification to your setup (just click a button) or look any different than your existing anycast IP for L7 Load Balancing. Disclaimer: I w…
It would be nice if you guys supported external origins, but I understand the reasons for not doing so. :D
Edit: Any chance you could ask Cedexis to add GCDN to these reports: http://www.cedexis.com/reports/#?report=dsa&country=US&date=...

I'll take the other side of your bets. How much are you in for?
Kudos to you good sir for calling someone out and putting your wallet on the line. I hope the other guy comes through and you get a friendly wager going.

#30I can make a fast CDN too, if it doesn't have any users yet!
I was going to say that :) When you are starting and have very few users, you should be fast.
It is very hard to keep it very fast when you have millions of free users, like CloudFlare does. That is impressive.
