Networking

Google Cloud Load Balancing is a globally distributed service that can front both external client traffic and internal traffic between services, using anycast IPs and health checks across regions. It is not limited to a single zone; instead, the load balancer automatically routes requests to healthy back‑ends wherever they run. Choice A is incorrect because the load balancer’s scope is global, not confined to one zone.

A VPC in GCP is a global virtual network that spans all regions, with subnets defined per region but the network itself is not confined to any single zone. This makes it possible to route traffic across zones and regions without additional configuration. Choice A is wrong because a VPC is not limited to a single zone; zones are Compute Engine resources, not network scopes.

A VPC in GCP is a global virtual network that spans all regions, with subnets defined per region but the network itself is not confined to any single zone. A diagram for this topic isn't available yet — the worked example below walks the same reasoning step by step.

• !Choice A is wrong because a VPC is not limited to a single zone; zones are Compute Engine resources, not network scopes.
• !Choice A is incorrect because the load balancer’s scope is global, not confined to one zone.
• !In contrast, block storage is handled by services like Persistent Disk, making Option A incorrect.
