A company has a global user base accessing a web application that serves both static and dynamic content. They want to reduce latency for all users. The application is currently hosted in a single region. What should they do?

Deploy the application in multiple regions and use a global load balancer.

Use Cloud CDN for both static and dynamic content, and configure the application to send cacheable responses.

Use a combination of Cloud CDN and multi-region deployment.

Use Cloud CDN for static content and optimize dynamic content for caching.

What is the primary purpose of deploying an application across multiple zones within a single region?

To comply with data residency requirements

To protect against zone-level failures

To reduce network latency for all users

To simplify network configuration

A company runs a web application on Compute Engine with a managed instance group and an HTTP load balancer. They are experiencing intermittent failures where the load balancer routes traffic to an instance that is not yet ready to serve traffic, causing errors. What should they do to fix this?

Increase the initial delay for the health check to give instances more time to start up.

Configure the health check to use a custom path that verifies the application is ready to serve traffic.

Use a readiness probe that the load balancer uses to determine if the instance is ready to receive traffic.

Configure a startup script that initializes the application and then signals readiness.

A cloud architect is troubleshooting a performance issue in a complex microservices architecture. They suspect a bottleneck in one of the services. They want to use Gemini Cloud Assist to help identify the issue. What should they do?

Use Cloud Profiler to profile the application code.

Use Cloud Monitoring to check metrics for all services.

Use Cloud Trace to trace requests and identify the slow service.

Ask Gemini Cloud Assist to analyze the architecture and suggest potential bottlenecks.
