In this advanced lab, you will design and implement a multi-region VPC network that utilizes Google Cloud's load balancing capabilities. The scenario simulates a multinational retail company that requires a robust and secure infrastructure to support its cloud-based e-commerce platform. The network must support high availability and failover between the US Central and East regions, adhering to the organization's security and compliance policies. You will start with configuring VPC networks and progress to deploying load balancers, setting up firewall rules, and configuring Cloud NAT to manage traffic across regions. The lab includes real-world architectural decisions and justification of trade-offs to optimize for cost, performance, and security within a budget of $12.
A global retail company needs to distribute its cloud services across multiple regions for an e-commerce platform. This involves designing a scalable and secure network to support peak user demands and ensure compliance with data protection standards. The company estimates a 30% increase in traffic during holiday seasons, requiring capacity planning in both us-central1 and us-east1 regions. Network configurations should minimize latency and maximize uptime, with a target SLA of 99.99%.
