Google Associate Cloud Engineer Question 83
Select 2Google Cloud PlatformYou are setting up a multi-region application in Google Cloud Platform to ensure high availability and low latency for users distributed across the globe. Which of the following Google Cloud features can you leverage to achieve these objectives?
- A
A. Global Load Balancer
- B
B. Cloud CDN (Content Delivery Network)
- C
C. Regional Managed Instance Groups
- D
D. Local SSD
- E
E. VPC Peering
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
To achieve high availability and low latency in a multi-region application on Google Cloud, Global Load Balancer and Cloud CDN are essential. Global Load Balancer allows traffic distribution across multiple regions, ensuring that users are directed to the nearest available resources. Cloud CDN further enhances performance by caching content at the edge, close to users around the world. These features together provide a robust solution for deploying applications with global reach.
- A. Correct.
A. Global Load Balancer is a key feature in Google Cloud that helps distribute traffic across multiple regions, ensuring high availability and low latency by directing users to the closest resources.
- B. Correct.
B. Cloud CDN caches content at edge locations close to users, reducing latency and improving the availability of static content globally.
- C. Incorrect.
C. Regional Managed Instance Groups operate within a single region and are not suitable for multi-region availability or latency optimization.
- D. Incorrect.
D. Local SSD provides high-performance storage attached to a VM instance within a single zone and does not contribute to multi-region availability or reduced latency.
- E. Incorrect.
E. VPC Peering connects Virtual Private Cloud networks but does not inherently improve global availability or latency for a distributed application.
