    GCP PCA · Question 26 · Compute Systems

    You are designing a highly available web application on Compute Engine. The application must survive a zone failure without manual intervention. How should you configure the Compute Engine instances?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Deploy the instances in a Zonal Managed Instance Group and configure a Cloud Monitoring alert to manually recreate them in another zone if the primary zone fails.

    B.

    Deploy the instances in a Regional Managed Instance Group (MIG) across multiple zones.

    C.

    Deploy the instances in an Unmanaged Instance Group and attach it to a Global Load Balancer.

    D.

    Use a single Compute Engine instance with a Regional Persistent Disk.

    How to approach this question

    Identify the Compute Engine feature that provides multi-zone high availability automatically.

    Full Answer

    B.Deploy the instances in a Regional Managed Instance Group (MIG) across multiple zones.✓ Correct
    Regional Managed Instance Groups (MIGs) distribute VM instances across multiple zones in a region. They provide high availability by automatically detecting instance failures (autohealing) and zone failures, recreating instances in healthy zones without manual intervention.

    Common mistakes

    Confusing Zonal MIGs (which only protect against VM failure, not zone failure) with Regional MIGs.
