Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer — Question 20

You created a Google Cloud Platform project with an App Engine application inside the project. You initially configured the application to be served from the us- central region. Now you want the application to be served from the asia-northeast1 region. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Change the default region property setting in the existing GCP project to asia-northeast1.
• B. Change the region property setting in the existing App Engine application from us-central to asia-northeast1.
• C. Create a second App Engine application in the existing GCP project and specify asia-northeast1 as the region to serve your application.
• D. Create a new GCP project and create an App Engine application inside this new project. Specify asia-northeast1 as the region to serve your application.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because App Engine applications cannot be moved between regions once they are created. Creating a new GCP project and a new App Engine application allows you to specify the desired region from the start. The other options suggest modifying existing settings, which do not allow for a change in region for an existing App Engine application.
