Google Cloud Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer — Question 11

You support the backend of a mobile phone game that runs on a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster. The application is serving HTTP requests from users.
You need to implement a solution that will reduce the network cost. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Configure the VPC as a Shared VPC Host project.
• B. Configure your network services on the Standard Tier.
• C. Configure your Kubernetes cluster as a Private Cluster.
• D. Configure a Google Cloud HTTP Load Balancer as Ingress.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Choosing option B is correct because configuring network services on the Standard Tier can help lower costs associated with egress traffic. The other options either do not directly address cost reduction (A, C, D) or may involve additional complexity without the specific benefit of lowering network expenses.
