Google Cloud Load Balancing Quiz

1. What is the primary purpose of a health check in Google Cloud Load Balancing?

To encrypt traffic between clients and backends

To verify backend instances are healthy before routing traffic

To distribute traffic evenly across all regions

To authenticate user requests

2. Which load balancer operates at Layer 7 and can route based on URL paths?

Network Load Balancer

Internal Load Balancer

HTTP(S) Load Balancer

TCP Proxy Load Balancer

3. Which load balancer type is best suited for distributing non-HTTP traffic across global regions?

HTTP(S) Load Balancer

Network Load Balancer

Internal Load Balancer

SSL Proxy Load Balancer

4. What does Cloud Armor provide in conjunction with Google Cloud Load Balancing?

Database encryption

DDoS protection and WAF capabilities

Automatic VM scaling

Backup and disaster recovery

5. What is the primary difference between a forwarding rule and a backend service?

Forwarding rules receive traffic; backend services manage backends and policies

Backend services encrypt traffic; forwarding rules distribute it

They perform identical functions

Forwarding rules only work for TCP traffic

6. What is the purpose of a backend service in Google Cloud Load Balancing?

To define the frontend IP address

To specify groups of backends, health checks, and load balancing policies

To encrypt all traffic

To manage DNS records

7. Which feature allows you to specify custom request and response headers in an HTTP(S) Load Balancer?

URL maps

Health checks

Header transformation

Backend configuration

8. Managed instance groups and NEGs (Network Endpoint Groups) are both valid backend types for which load balancer?

HTTP(S) Load Balancer only

Network Load Balancer only

Both HTTP(S) and Network Load Balancers

Internal Load Balancer only

9. Which load balancer type is recommended for low-latency, high-throughput TCP/UDP traffic?

HTTP(S) Load Balancer

Network Load Balancer

Internal Load Balancer

SSL Proxy Load Balancer

10. What does 'connection draining' accomplish in Google Cloud Load Balancing?

Removes idle connections immediately

Allows existing connections to complete before removing a backend

Reduces bandwidth usage

Encrypts all traffic

11. Cloud Load Balancing integrates with which Google Cloud services for enhanced security? Select all that apply.

Cloud Armor

Cloud KMS

Identity and Access Management (IAM)

Cloud CDN

Submit

12. Which of the following can be used as a backend for an Internal Load Balancer? Select all that apply.

On-premises servers via Cloud Interconnect

Managed instance groups

Cloud Storage buckets

Submit

13. True or False: Cross-region load balancing with Google Cloud Load Balancers requires manual failover configuration.

True

False

Submit

15. True or False: A single HTTP(S) Load Balancer can distribute traffic across multiple backend services.

True

False

Submit

17. The SSL Proxy Load Balancer terminates SSL/TLS connections at which layer?

Layer 4

Layer 5

Layer 7

Layer 3

18. HTTP(S) Load Balancers support which routing policies? Select all that apply.

Host-based routing

Path-based routing

Random routing

Time-based routing

Submit

19. Which session affinity option ensures requests from the same client go to the same backend?

Client IP

Generated cookie

Header-based

All of the above

20. An Internal Load Balancer in Google Cloud is primarily used for traffic within which scope?

Across multiple cloud providers

Within a VPC network

Across the public internet

Between different Google Cloud projects
