Topic #: 13

[All Professional Cloud Developer Questions]

You are developing an HTTP API hosted on a Compute Engine virtual machine instance that needs to be

invoked by multiple clients within the same Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). You want clients to be able to get the IP address of the service.

What should you do?

AReserve a static external IP address and assign it to an HTTP(S) load balancing service's forwarding rule.
Clients should use this IP address to connect to the service.

BReserve a static external IP address and assign it to an HTTP(S) load balancing service's forwarding rule.
Then, define an A record in Cloud DNS. Clients should use the name of the A record to connect to the
service.

CEnsure that clients use Compute Engine internal DNS by connecting to the instance name with the url
https://[INSTANCE_NAME].[ZONE].c.[PROJECT_ID].internal/.

DEnsure that clients use Compute Engine internal DNS by connecting to the instance name with the url
https://[API_NAME]/[API_VERSION]/.

C is interesting, but not sure if everyone knows how to use internal DNS.

Wait, can clients really use internal DNS like that? Seems risky.

I think A is better for direct access, less complexity.

Option B sounds solid, using Cloud DNS is a good move.

I feel like option D is a bit off. We discussed API versioning, but I don't recall using the instance name directly for external access. It seems like it wouldn't work for multiple clients outside the VPC.

I’m a bit confused about the internal DNS options. Option C mentions using the instance name, but I thought that was only for internal communication. Would clients really be able to connect that way?

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to set up DNS records. Option B sounds familiar because it involves using Cloud DNS, which could be useful for clients to connect by name instead of IP.

I think option A makes sense since it mentions using a static external IP, which is something we covered in class. But I'm not entirely sure if that's the best approach for multiple clients.

I'm pretty confident that the correct answer is to create a user-assigned managed identity. That's going to be the key to authenticating and authorizing the SBD.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I'm not entirely sure what process exceptions are used for. I'll have to guess and hope I can eliminate some of the options.
