Worked example. The correct answer is already marked and every option is explained below, so there is nothing to select here. To answer questions yourself, start the free trial.
An organization is deploying a media distribution application on Google Cloud serving users across North America, with processing workloads running in both the us-central1 and us-east4 regions. The architecture requires minimal read latency for compute workloads in both regions, continuous availability during a single region outage, and optimal network delivery performance for external users by ingesting traffic onto Google's high-performance backbone at the nearest point of presence.
Which storage and networking architecture should you implement?
Cloud Storage dual-region buckets store data across two specific Google Cloud regions with automatic asynchronous replication, providing high availability, regional failover, and localized low-latency access for compute workloads located in either region. Premium Tier networking routes external client traffic onto Google's private, low-latency global fiber backbone at the Point of Presence (PoP) closest to the user (cold-potato routing), minimizing transit across the public internet.
us-central1 and us-east4 ensures that compute clusters in both active regions read from local regional replicas, reducing round-trip time and inter-region data transfer.This solution directly satisfies data proximity for distributed compute workloads in two specific regions while utilizing Premium Tier's global edge network to maximize throughput and minimize latency for external North American users.
