CASE STUDY: TechStream Gaming. 500 emp, $100M rev. On-prem US/EU, 200 servers, MySQL 5TB. 2M peak users. $100K/mo cost. Req: Cut cost 40%, 5x growth, 3 new regions, daily deploys. CEO: Scale fast. CFO: <$100K/mo, 18mo ROI. CTO: Low cloud skills, 99.95% uptime. Tech: <100ms latency, real-time analytics, 5x spikes, EU data residency, DDoS protection, CI/CD. Constraints: 12mo migration, 4hr downtime, 20 devs (Java/MySQL), 5 ops (no cloud), $2M budget.

Which migration strategy should you recommend for the legacy monolithic application to meet the 12-month timeline and team skill constraints?

CASE STUDY: TechStream Gaming. 500 emp, $100M rev. On-prem US/EU, 200 servers, MySQL 5TB. 2M peak users. $100K/mo cost. Req: Cut cost 40%, 5x growth, 3 new regions, daily deploys. CEO: Scale fast. CFO: <$100K/mo, 18mo ROI. CTO: Low cloud skills, 99.95% uptime. Tech: <100ms latency, real-time analytics, 5x spikes, EU data residency, DDoS protection, CI/CD. Constraints: 12mo migration, 4hr downtime, 20 devs (Java/MySQL), 5 ops (no cloud), $2M budget.

To achieve sub-100ms latency globally and DDoS protection, which networking solution should you implement?

Answer options:

A.

Network Load Balancer with Cloud NAT.

B.

Global HTTP(S) Load Balancer with Cloud CDN and Cloud Armor.

C.

Internal TCP/UDP Load Balancer with VPC Peering.

D.

Cloud DNS with latency-based routing to regional LBs.

How to approach this question

Match latency and DDoS requirements to GCP edge services.

Full Answer

B.Global HTTP(S) Load Balancer with Cloud CDN and Cloud Armor.✓ Correct
Global HTTP(S) Load Balancer with Cloud CDN and Cloud Armor.
Cloud Armor provides DDoS protection, while Global HTTP(S) LB and CDN reduce latency globally.

Common mistakes

Selecting regional load balancers for global requirements.
