A company runs a web application on Compute Engine instances in two regions. They want to distribute traffic across the instances and automatically fail over if an instance becomes unhealthy. The application uses HTTP/2 and requires session affinity. What should the architect use?

An external HTTP(S) load balancer with a backend service configured for session affinity.

An external TCP/UDP load balancer with session affinity.

An internal HTTP(S) load balancer.

A DNS-based round-robin with health checks.

A financial services company has an on-premises data center with a 10 Gbps link to a Google Cloud region. They need consistent, low-latency connectivity for real-time transaction processing. The company expects the link to be used heavily and wants to avoid unpredictable internet-based connectivity. What should the architect recommend?

Use Partner Interconnect with a 1 Gbps connection.

Use Cloud VPN with multiple tunnels and ECMP for higher throughput.

Set up a Cloud VPN tunnel over the internet.

Use Dedicated Interconnect with a 10 Gbps connection.

What is the primary benefit of using Private Service Connect to access a Google-managed service?

It automatically scales the service

It eliminates the need for a VPC

It allows access to the service using internal IP addresses

It provides a dedicated physical connection to Google
