Google Cloud Professional Cloud Network Engineer — Question 33

You have a web application that is currently hosted in the us-central1 region. Users experience high latency when traveling in Asia. You've configured a network load balancer, but users have not experienced a performance improvement. You want to decrease the latency.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Configure a policy-based route rule to prioritize the traffic.
• B. Configure an HTTP load balancer, and direct the traffic to it.
• C. Configure Dynamic Routing for the subnet hosting the application.
• D. Configure the TTL for the DNS zone to decrease the time between updates.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because an HTTP load balancer is designed to distribute traffic more efficiently and can help reduce latency for users in different regions. Options A, C, and D do not directly address the issue of latency as effectively as switching to an HTTP load balancer.
