    GCP ACE · Question 17 · Domain 2.4: Planning and configuring network resources

    You are deploying a web application that will be accessed by users globally. You need to terminate SSL/TLS connections, route traffic based on the URL path (e.g., /video goes to one backend, /images to another), and route users to the backend region closest to them.

    Which Google Cloud Load Balancer should you configure?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Global External HTTP(S) Load Balancer

    B.

    TCP Proxy Load Balancer

    C.

    External Network Load Balancer

    D.

    Internal HTTP(S) Load Balancer

    How to approach this question

    Identify the key requirements: Global access, Layer 7 features (SSL termination, URL routing).

    Full Answer

    A.Global External HTTP(S) Load Balancer✓ Correct
    The Global External HTTP(S) Load Balancer is a Layer 7 load balancer. It provides a single global IP address, automatically routes user traffic to the closest healthy backend region, supports SSL termination at the edge, and allows advanced routing rules based on HTTP headers and URL paths.

    Common mistakes

    Choosing Network Load Balancer, forgetting that it is a Layer 4 regional load balancer that cannot read HTTP paths.
