Does Google App Engine use google CDN to distribute static resources?

Question

I find a lot of articles on the web describing how GAE can be used as a CDN. But, I could not locate any mention about CDN in Google\'s documentation of App Engine.

Answer 1

Yes, GAE uses google's infrastructure for static content.

Have a look at this session at Google IO 2009 and read slides 24-28.

The static content is handled by specialized infrastructure. App runtimes don't serve them.
