About
Google Front End (GFE) is Google's globally distributed reverse proxy that accepts client connections at the network edge and routes requests to Google services.
It provides TLS termination, request routing, load balancing, and protection against denial-of-service attacks, and is available only as the underlying infrastructure for 
Google Cloud Load Balancing and other Google services.
Varnish Cache is an open-source HTTP accelerator and reverse caching proxy that caches content from web servers to reduce load times, and supports native TLS termination and 
Kubernetes deployments.
It uses the VCL configuration language compiled to native C code, serves cached responses in three system calls, provides official container images and a Helm chart for Kubernetes, outputs structured 
JSON logs, and supports VMOD extension modules.
