Cost Optimization — GCP PCA Practice Question 35

How to approach this question

Identify the GCP service designed to cache static content at the edge to reduce latency and egress costs.

Full Answer

C.Place a Global HTTP(S) Load Balancer in front of the bucket and enable Cloud CDN.✓ Correct

Place a Global HTTP(S) Load Balancer in front of the bucket and enable Cloud CDN.

Cloud CDN uses Google's global edge network to cache content close to the user. By putting a Load Balancer and Cloud CDN in front of the Cloud Storage bucket, users in Asia will stream videos from an edge node in Asia, solving the latency issue. Furthermore, CDN egress pricing is significantly lower than standard internet egress pricing.

Common mistakes

Choosing Multi-Regional storage (B), misunderstanding that 'Multi-Region' in GCS means a single continent (like US or EU), not global replication.

A media company serves terabytes of video content globally. They are currently hosting the videos in a Cloud Storage bucket in the `us-east1` region. Users in Asia are experiencing high latency, and the company's monthly network egress costs are exorbitant. How should you optimize this architecture?
