Designing a Resilient Multi-Region Architecture with VPC Peering

ADVANCED
200 minutes
5 tasks

In this advanced lab, you will design a multi-region, highly available architecture using VPC Peering and compute resources distributed across us-central1 and us-east1. The objective is to ensure business continuity and optimize failover processes. You will configure network architectures, deploy scalable applications on Compute Engine using Managed Instance Groups (MIGs), and setup load balancing for seamless traffic distribution. Your goal is to meet specific performance and reliability metrics, including a maximum downtime of 5 minutes and an SLA of 99.9%.

Scenario

XYZ Corp, a global leader in e-commerce, wants to enhance their infrastructure's resilience and disaster recovery capabilities. With monthly web traffic peaking at 8 million visits, they aim to minimize downtime and ensure that their application is always accessible. You will implement a multi-region architecture that accommodates up to 10,000 simultaneous users, leveraging VPC Peering for efficient network connectivity.
