Start Configuring Network Services PracticeA company wants to expose a globally distributed application using Cloud Run via a single anycast IP address, with SSL termination and content-based routing to different backend services. Which load balancer should they use?
Explanation: The Global External HTTPS Load Balancer provides a single anycast IP, SSL termination, and content-based routing via URL maps to backends like serverless NEGs pointing to Cloud Run.
An organization uses Traffic Director with Envoy sidecars in GKE. They want to implement fault injection to test service resilience by injecting a 5-second delay into 10% of requests to a specific backend service. Which Traffic Director configuration resource should they use?
Explanation: Traffic Director supports fault injection via the Envoy HTTP connection manager. The correct approach is to configure a TrafficDirectorRoute with a fault injection policy, which is part of the routing configuration.
You need to configure Cloud CDN to cache all content from a backend bucket, ignoring any Cache-Control headers sent by the origin. Which cache mode should you use?
Explanation: FORCE_CACHE_ALL ignores origin headers and caches all responses for the specified TTL.
A company has an on-premises data center connected to GCP via Cloud Interconnect. They want to expose an on-premises service to internet clients through Google Cloud's global load balancer. Which type of network endpoint group should they use?
Explanation: Hybrid connectivity NEGs allow you to expose on-premises destinations via Cloud Interconnect or VPN to a load balancer.
You are configuring a health check for a backend service that expects gRPC health probing. Which protocol should the health check use to verify gRPC service health?
Explanation: gRPC health checks use the gRPC protocol to query the standard gRPC health check endpoint.
