Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer Question 21
Single answerGoogle Cloud PlatformYour company is deploying a new web application in Google Cloud. The application must handle HTTP and HTTPS traffic from users worldwide, support SSL termination, and distribute traffic to multiple regions to ensure low latency and high availability. Which type of Google Cloud load balancer should you choose?
- A
HTTP(S) Load Balancer
- B
Internal TCP/UDP Load Balancer
- C
Network Load Balancer
- D
TCP Proxy Load Balancer
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The HTTP(S) Load Balancer is the best choice for this scenario because it is a global, fully-distributed load balancer designed specifically for HTTP and HTTPS traffic. It supports SSL termination, allows traffic distribution across multiple regions for better latency and availability, and integrates seamlessly with Google Cloud services.
- A. Correct.
HTTP(S) Load Balancer is the correct choice because it is a global load balancer that supports HTTP and HTTPS traffic, SSL termination, and can distribute traffic across multiple regions for low latency and high availability.
- B. Incorrect.
Internal TCP/UDP Load Balancer is incorrect because it is designed for internal traffic within a VPC and does not support global traffic or SSL termination.
- C. Incorrect.
Network Load Balancer is incorrect because it is designed for high-performance Layer 4 traffic distribution and does not support HTTP/HTTPS, SSL termination, or global distribution.
- D. Incorrect.
TCP Proxy Load Balancer is incorrect because it is designed for non-HTTP(S) TCP traffic and does not natively support HTTP/HTTPS or global traffic distribution.
