Google storage bucket (google api link) integration with Cloud CDN

Respected seniors!

I have hosted a website on GCE and storing all static content on GCS bucket. The content is then accessed using google API link e.g https://storage.googleapis.com/[BUCKET_NAME]/[OBJECT_NAME]...

Now the API link is embedded on webpage on my website as https://www.example.com/post/[random post number](this is an html link which I need to serve an updated copy every time so I set up a cookie to avoid caching in CDN)

I have enabled Cloud CDN on my load balancer backend GCE. My understanding was that the link embedded in webpage for static content will automatically be cached in CDN because the bucket access is made public.

Upon verifying using cURL I came to know that whenever I access the object using API link (https://storage.googleapis.com/[BUCKET_NAME]/[OBJECT_NAME]), the content is cached in CDN and whenever I use my site link (https://www.example.com/post/[random post number]), the content is not cached.

Kindly suggest any method to cache the content on bucket in clod CDN whose link is embedded in dynamic content url which has to be fetched fresh every time.

Thanks in advance

Based on your description, this look like working as intended. The reason why the content is not being cached is due to cookies header being present. This article explain when content is non-cacheable: https://cloud.google.com/cdn/docs/caching#non-cacheable_content

This is also confirmed when you mentioned:"(https://storage.googleapis.com/[BUCKET_NAME]/[OBJECT_NAME]), the content is cached in CDN." The bucket doesn't have any cookies and this is why it's cached.
