You are deploying a web application using Compute Engine. You created a managed instance group (MIG) to host the application. You want to follow Google-recommended practices to implement a secure and highly available solution. What should you do?

Question

Accepted Answer

D. Use an Application Load Balancer for the MIG and an A record in your DNS public zone with the An Application Load Balancer (formerly HTTP(S) Load Balancer) is Google's recommended solution for external web applications, providing global, Layer 7 load balancing with essential features like SSL termination and URL maps. An A record in a public DNS zone correctly maps the public domain name directly to the external IP address of the Application Load Balancer, ensuring public accessibility and high availability.

Answer

A. Use a proxy Network Load Balancer for the MIG and an A record in your DNS private zone with A proxy Network Load Balancer operates at Layer 4, lacking the Layer 7 features needed for web applications, and a private DNS zone would not allow public internet access.

Answer

B. Use a proxy Network Load Balancer for the MIG and a CNAME record in your DNS public zone A proxy Network Load Balancer is primarily for TCP/UDP traffic and lacks the Layer 7 features (e.g., URL-based routing, SSL offloading) required for a typical web application.

Answer

C. Use an Application Load Balancer for the MIG and a CNAME record in your DNS private zone A private DNS zone would prevent the web application from being accessible to users on the public internet, failing the requirement for a public web application.
