Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect — Question 83

You need to design a solution for global load balancing based on the URL path being requested. You need to ensure operations reliability and end-to-end in- transit encryption based on Google best practices.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Create a cross-region load balancer with URL Maps.
• B. Create an HTTPS load balancer with URL Maps.
• C. Create appropriate instance groups and instances. Configure SSL proxy load balancing.
• D. Create a global forwarding rule. Configure SSL proxy load balancing.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because an HTTPS load balancer with URL Maps allows for global load balancing based on URL paths while ensuring encrypted traffic. Option A focuses on cross-region load balancing without specific emphasis on HTTPS, which is critical for security, while options C and D utilize SSL proxy load balancing, which does not support URL path-based routing.
