Google Associate Cloud Engineer Question 82
Single answerGoogle Cloud PlatformYou are setting up a multi-region application on Google Cloud Platform to ensure high availability and low latency for users across different continents. Which Google Cloud resource location strategy should you use to achieve this goal?
- A
Deploy resources in a single zone within a single region.
- B
Use multiple zones within a single region.
- C
Deploy resources across multiple regions.
- D
Use a single multi-zone region.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
To achieve high availability and low latency for a global user base, deploying resources across multiple regions is the most effective strategy. This allows the application to leverage Google's global network, providing redundancy and optimizing data delivery based on user proximity.
- A. Incorrect.
Deploying resources in a single zone within a single region limits availability and can lead to increased latency for users in distant locations.
- B. Incorrect.
Using multiple zones within a single region can improve availability within that region but does not address latency or availability concerns for users across different continents.
- C. Correct.
Deploying resources across multiple regions ensures high availability and reduced latency by leveraging Google's global infrastructure, making it ideal for multi-region applications.
- D. Incorrect.
Using a single multi-zone region improves availability within that region but does not optimize for global reach or latency.
