GCP PCA · Question 33 · Domain 5: Managing Implementation and Ensuring Solution and Operations Reliability
A media company serves large video files to users globally. They currently host the videos in a multi-region Cloud Storage bucket. Users in Asia are complaining about slow download speeds, and the CFO is complaining about high network egress costs. Which solution addresses both issues?
A media company serves large video files to users globally. They currently host the videos in a multi-region Cloud Storage bucket. Users in Asia are complaining about slow download speeds, and the CFO is complaining about high network egress costs. Which solution addresses both issues?
Answer options:
A.
Move the Cloud Storage bucket to a single region in Asia.
B.
Implement Cloud CDN and configure the Cloud Storage bucket as the backend.
C.
Use Cloud Interconnect to establish a dedicated connection to ISPs in Asia.
D.
Compress the video files using Cloud Dataflow before serving them.
How to approach this question
Identify the service designed to cache content globally and reduce egress costs.
Full Answer
B.Implement Cloud CDN and configure the Cloud Storage bucket as the backend.✓ Correct
Implement Cloud CDN and configure the Cloud Storage bucket as the backend.
Cloud CDN utilizes Google's globally distributed edge points of presence. By caching the video files at the edge, users in Asia download from a local server, solving the latency issue. Additionally, Cloud CDN egress pricing is significantly lower than direct Cloud Storage egress pricing, solving the CFO's cost concern.
Common mistakes
Assuming multi-region buckets solve latency globally (A). Multi-region buckets replicate data across a continent (e.g., US or EU), not globally.
