Google Cloud Professional Cloud Developer PCD — Topic 1 Question 101

Question

You are developing a web application that will be accessible over both HTTP and HTTPS and will run on Compute Engine instances. On occasion, you will need to SSH from your remote laptop into one of the Compute Engine instances to conduct maintenance on the app. How should you configure the instances while following Google-recommended best practices?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The correct answer is C. Option C: Configure Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy API for SSH access. Then configure the Compute Engine servers with private IP addresses behind an HTTP(s) load balancer for the application web traffic. Compute Engine provides configurable virtual machines when you need full control of the OS. A load balancer distributes traffic across healthy backends in multiple zones for availability and scale. Cloud Identity manages users, groups, and device policies as a managed identity platform.
