Domain 4.5: Managing networking resources — GCP ACE Practice Question 40

How to approach this question

Identify the type of IP needed for a global resource, and understand which component of a load balancer holds the IP address.

Full Answer

To ensure an IP address doesn't change, you must reserve a static external IP address. Because you are using a Global HTTP(S) Load Balancer, you must reserve a *global* static IP (not regional). Once reserved, you configure the load balancer's frontend by attaching this IP address to the Global Forwarding Rule.

Common mistakes

Reserving a regional IP for a global load balancer, or trying to attach the IP to the backend instances instead of the frontend forwarding rule.

You are configuring a Global External HTTP(S) Load Balancer for a new web application. You need to ensure that the IP address provided to users never changes, even if you delete and recreate the load balancer in the future.
