Google Cloud Professional Cloud Developer PCD — Topic 1 Question 196

Question

Your team is responsible for maintaining an application that aggregates news articles from many different sources. Your monitoring dashboard contains publicly accessible real-time reports and runs on a Compute Engine instance as a web application. External stakeholders and analysts need to access these reports via a secure channel without authentication. How should you configure this secure channel?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D. The correct answer is D. Option D: Add an HTTP(S) load balancer in front of the monitoring dashboard. Set up a Google-managed SSL certificate on the load balancer for traffic encryption. A load balancer distributes traffic across healthy backends in multiple zones for availability and scale. This option meets the real-time / low-latency performance requirement.
