    GCP PCA · Question 45 · Cost Optimization

    Your company is analyzing its GCP bill and notices that 'Network Egress' is the highest cost. The traffic is primarily users downloading large media files, and internal data transfers between GCP and the on-premises data center. Which THREE strategies will reduce these network costs? (Select THREE)

    Answer options:

    A.

    Implement Cloud CDN to cache media files at the edge

    B.

    Switch to Standard Network Tier for non-critical internet traffic

    C.

    Provision Cloud Interconnect for on-premises data transfers

    D.

    Compress all data using Cloud KMS before sending

    E.

    Move all VMs to a single zone to avoid cross-region egress

    F.

    Use Cloud NAT for all outbound traffic

    How to approach this question

    Identify GCP features that specifically lower the per-GB cost of data transfer.

    Full Answer

    Network egress costs can be optimized by: 1) Cloud CDN (serves from cache, avoiding region egress charges), 2) Standard Network Tier (cheaper per-GB routing for internet traffic), and 3) Cloud Interconnect (offers discounted egress rates for hybrid traffic compared to public internet).

    Common mistakes

    Thinking Cloud NAT (F) reduces costs.
