Domain 4.5: Managing networking resources — GCP ACE Practice Question 40

How to approach this question

Understand the difference between regional and global IPs, and how they are attached to VMs.

Full Answer

Reserve a static external IP address in the correct region., Assign the reserved IP address to the instance's network interface.

To give a VM a permanent external IP, you must first reserve a regional static external IP address (because VMs are regional resources). Global IPs cannot be attached directly to VMs. After reserving the IP, you update the VM's network interface to use that specific reserved IP instead of an ephemeral one.

Common mistakes

Reserving a Global IP. Global IPs are strictly for Global Load Balancers. VMs require Regional IPs.
