Google Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer Question 57
Select 3Google Cloud PlatformYour organization is deploying a critical application across a hybrid environment using GKE Enterprise. The application is designed to run in both your on-premises data center and Google Cloud. To ensure high availability and optimal performance, you need to configure multi-cluster routing for services in this deployment. Which steps should you take to achieve this?
- A
Enable multi-cluster ingress in GKE Enterprise by deploying the Anthos Service Mesh.
- B
Set up a single global load balancer to route traffic across clusters in the hybrid environment.
- C
Configure GKE clusters to use a shared Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) for unified networking.
- D
Establish a private interconnect between the on-premises environment and Google Cloud.
- E
Use Config Sync to ensure consistent application configurations across clusters.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, E
Explanation
To implement multi-cluster routing in a hybrid environment using GKE Enterprise, you need to enable Anthos Service Mesh for multi-cluster ingress, configure a global load balancer for traffic distribution, and use Config Sync to maintain consistent application configurations across clusters. These steps ensure high availability, optimized performance, and consistency in your application deployment. While shared VPCs and private interconnects are valuable infrastructure components, they do not directly address multi-cluster routing.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Anthos Service Mesh provides advanced service-to-service communication and supports multi-cluster ingress, enabling seamless traffic routing in hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
- B. Correct.
Correct. A single global load balancer allows you to distribute traffic across clusters and ensures high availability and optimal performance for applications deployed in hybrid environments.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While shared VPCs are useful for networking within Google Cloud, they do not directly enable multi-cluster routing in a hybrid setup.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Private interconnect improves connectivity between on-premises and Google Cloud but does not directly configure multi-cluster service routing.
- E. Correct.
Correct. Config Sync ensures consistency in application configurations and policies across multiple clusters, which is essential for hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
