    GCP ACE · Question 18 · Domain 2.4: Planning and configuring network resources

    You are designing a highly available architecture for a critical internal application. The application runs on Compute Engine VMs and must remain available even if an entire GCP zone goes offline. The application is only accessed by other resources within the same VPC region.

    Which TWO configurations should you implement to achieve this? (Select TWO)

    Answer options:

    A.

    Deploy the VMs in a Zonal Managed Instance Group (MIG).

    B.

    Deploy the VMs in a Regional Managed Instance Group (MIG).

    C.

    Configure an External HTTP(S) Load Balancer.

    D.

    Configure an Internal HTTP(S) Load Balancer.

    E.

    Enable Cloud CDN on the backend service.

    How to approach this question

    Combine a multi-zone compute strategy with an internal networking strategy.

    Full Answer

    Deploy the VMs in a Regional Managed Instance Group (MIG)., Configure an Internal HTTP(S) Load Balancer.
    To survive a zone failure, compute resources must be distributed across multiple zones using a Regional Managed Instance Group (MIG). Because the application is only accessed internally, an Internal Load Balancer should be used to distribute traffic across the healthy instances in the MIG.

    Common mistakes

    Choosing an External Load Balancer, ignoring the 'internal application' constraint.
