Google Cloud Professional Cloud Security Engineer — Question 32
Your company has deployed an application on Compute Engine. The application is accessible by clients on port 587. You need to balance the load between the different instances running the application. The connection should be secured using TLS, and terminated by the Load Balancer.
What type of Load Balancing should you use?
Answer options
- A. Network Load Balancing
- B. HTTP(S) Load Balancing
- C. TCP Proxy Load Balancing
- D. SSL Proxy Load Balancing
Correct answer: D
Explanation
SSL Proxy Load Balancing is the correct choice as it is designed to handle secure connections using TLS and supports termination at the Load Balancer. Network Load Balancing and HTTP(S) Load Balancing do not provide the necessary TLS termination, while TCP Proxy Load Balancing is not tailored for SSL connections specifically.
