Cloud CDN (Content Delivery Network) uses Google's global edge network to serve content closer to users, which accelerates access to websites and applications. Cloud CDN works with external HTTP(S) Load Balancing to deliver content to users. The external HTTP(S) load balancer provides the frontend IP addresses and ports that receive requests and the backends that respond to the requests.

Comments
Cloud CDN acts as a proxy between clients and origin servers. Cloud CDN can distribute requests for cacheable content across multiple points-of-presence (POPs), thereby providing a larger set of locations to absorb a DOS attack.
However, Cloud CDN doesn't provide protection against DOS attacks for uncached content.
