Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
To launch a compute instance that is part of an existing network and allows HTTP/HTTPS traffic, you need to select the appropriate machine type and boot disk, choose the correct VPC network and subnet, and enable HTTP/HTTPS options during instance creation to automatically configure the necessary firewall rules. A static external IP is not necessary for allowing HTTP/HTTPS traffic.
- A. Correct.
A. Choosing the machine type and boot disk is necessary for instance creation, but it does not directly relate to network configuration or traffic allowances.
- B. Incorrect.
B. Setting up a firewall rule is an alternative method to allow traffic; however, selecting the HTTP and HTTPS options during instance creation automatically configures these rules for you.
- C. Correct.
C. Selecting the correct VPC network and subnet is essential to ensure the instance is part of the intended network.
- D. Correct.
D. Enabling 'Allow HTTP traffic' and 'Allow HTTPS traffic' during instance creation automatically sets up the necessary firewall rules.
- E. Incorrect.
E. Assigning a static external IP can be useful for consistent external access but is not directly related to allowing HTTP/HTTPS traffic.
