# Glossary

  • Cloud Object Storage (COS): A distributed storage service offered by Tencent Cloud for enterprises and individual developers to store huge amounts of data. Users can store and process your massive data in batch through the Internet at any time.
  • Content Distribution Network (CDN): The acceleration capacity in distribution and processing of static content (such as web page styles, pictures, and small files) offered by Tencent Cloud for business scenarios such as portals, e-commerce, and UGC communities. This greatly reduces site response time, achieves seconds-level loading of complex content, and significantly improves user experience of the website.
  • Downstream traffic of the public network: Refers to the traffic generated by directly downloading objects through the link to the object domain name or browsing objects through static web addresses.
  • CDN origin traffic: The traffic that generated from the distribution and synchronization of the files stored on the COS to the CDN, which will be completed automatically.
  • Acceleration domain name: After the CDN acceleration is activated, Tencent Cloud will generate a CDN accelerated domain name for developers to use by default. The domain name provides direct access to the materials uploaded by the developers. If developers want to use the 50 GB/month free traffic for the first 6 months after the activation, they are required to bind their own registered domain name. See details at.
