# Compute Backend Bucket

A Compute Backend Bucket in Google Cloud is a backend service that uses a Cloud Storage bucket to serve static content for HTTP(S) load balancing. It allows you to host and deliver static assets such as images, videos, or website files directly from Cloud Storage while benefiting from load balancing, caching, and global content delivery through Google's infrastructure.
