[All Professional Cloud Architect Questions]

Your company has a stateless web API that performs scientific calculations. The web API runs on a single Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster. The cluster is currently deployed in us-central1. Your company has expanded to offer your API to customers in Asi

a. You want to reduce the latency for the users in Asia. What should you do?

AUse a global HTTP(s) load balancer with Cloud CDN enabled

BCreate a second GKE cluster in asia-southeast1, and expose both API's using a Service of
type Load Balancer. Add the public Ips to the Cloud DNS zone

CIncrease the memory and CPU allocated to the application in the cluster

DCreate a second GKE cluster in asia-southeast1, and use kubemci to create a global HTTP(s) load balancer

I'm going to have to go with B. Gotta love that good old-fashioned multi-region architecture, even if it's not as fancy as the kubemci solution.

User 3: Agreed, having multiple clusters in different regions definitely helps with performance optimization.

Yeah, B sounds like a solid choice. Setting up a second GKE cluster in asia-southeast1 makes sense for reducing latency in Asia.

A is the obvious choice here. Who needs multiple clusters and load balancers when you can just enable Cloud CDN and let Google handle the global distribution for you?

Haha, C is a classic 'throw more hardware at it' answer. As if increasing the resources on a single cluster is going to magically reduce latency for users halfway across the world.

D looks good to me. Using kubemci to create a global HTTP(s) load balancer sounds like a more elegant solution than managing multiple load balancers.

I think increasing the memory and CPU allocated to the application in the cluster could also help reduce latency for users in Asia.

I think the answer is B. Creating a second GKE cluster in Asia and using a Load Balancer Service to expose both APIs seems like the best way to reduce latency for the Asian users.

B is the correct answer. By creating a second GKE cluster in Asia and using a Load Balancer Service, you can reduce latency for Asian users.

I think we should use a global HTTP(s) load balancer with Cloud CDN enabled to reduce latency for users in Asia.
