PCNE Configuring Network Services Practice Question

A company runs a microservices application on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and wants to expose an HTTP service to the internet using a global HTTPS load balancer. They need to enable Cloud CDN for static content and use a custom domain with a Google-managed SSL certificate. Which three resources must be created? (Choose three.)

Answer choices

✓

URL map

To achieve this, you need a backend service (or backend bucket) for the service, a URL map to route requests, and an SSL certificate for the custom domain. The load balancer itself is the target proxy.
