Term 126
Failover routing is a network design that automatically redirects traffic to a backup path when the primary path fails, keeping services available.
Term 127
Google Cloud Filestore is a managed file storage service that lets you mount a network file system (NFS) to multiple virtual machines simultaneously, just like a shared folder on an office network.
Term 128
A firewall is a network security system that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing traffic based on predetermined security rules to protect trusted internal networks from untrusted external networks.
Term 129
A firewall log is a record of network traffic that a firewall has allowed or denied, used by IT professionals to monitor security events and troubleshoot connectivity issues.
Term 130
A firewall rule is a set of conditions that tells a firewall which network traffic to allow or block based on attributes like source, destination, port, and protocol.
Term 131
A floating static route is a backup route in a routing table that is only used when the primary route fails, because it has a higher administrative distance (lower priority).
Term 132
A folder is a logical container used to organize and group digital files, resources, or cloud-based assets within a system or platform.
Term 133

A Google Cloud project is a container that holds all your cloud resources like virtual machines, databases, and storage, acting as the main building block for organizing and managing everything you do in Google Cloud.
Term 140
A Google Cloud region is a specific geographic location where you can deploy and run cloud resources, consisting of at least three zones to provide high availability and low latency.
Term 141
A Google Cloud zone is a deployable location within a region where you can place your cloud resources like virtual machines and storage.
Term 142
Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is a managed Kubernetes service on Google Cloud that lets you deploy, scale, and manage containerized applications without having to operate the underlying cluster control plane.
Term 143
High availability is a system design approach that aims to keep applications and services operational and accessible with minimal downtime, even when some components fail.
Term 144
A host firewall is a software-based security tool that runs directly on an individual device, such as a laptop, server, or desktop, to monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on a set of security rules.
Term 145
