💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing internal and external load balancer types.

Internal Load Balancer is used for internal traffic within VPC, while HTTP(S) Load Balancer is used for external HTTP/HTTPS traffic.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to complete the code that assigns load balancer types for HTTP, TCP with SSL offload, and internal traffic respectively.

GCP

http_lb = "[1]"
tcp_ssl_lb = "[2]"
internal_lb = "[3]"

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Common Mistakes

Confusing Network Load Balancer with TCP Proxy Load Balancer.

HTTP(S) Load Balancer handles HTTP traffic, TCP Proxy Load Balancer supports TCP with SSL offloading, and Internal Load Balancer is for internal traffic.
