Explanation
Google Cloud Network Service Tiers offer two options: Premium Tier (uses Google's private global network - higher performance, higher cost) and Standard Tier (uses public internet routing - lower performance, lower cost). Switching to Standard Tier reduces egress network costs, which is the primary lever for reducing network spend. Option A (Shared VPC) is about network architecture, not cost reduction. Option C (Private Cluster) restricts external access but does not reduce egress costs. Option D (HTTP Load Balancer as Ingress) is a best practice for GKE traffic management but does not inherently reduce network costs.
