Actual exam question from Google's Professional Cloud Developer
Question #: 196
Topic #: 1
[All Professional Cloud Developer Questions]

Your team is responsible for maintaining an application that aggregates news articles from many different sources. Your monitoring dashboard contains publicly accessible real-time reports and runs on a Compute Engine instance as a web application. External stakeholders and analysts need to access these reports via a secure channel without authentication. How should you configure this secure channel?

  • A. Add a public IP address to the instance. Use the service account key of the instance to encrypt the traffic.
  • B. Use Cloud Scheduler to trigger Cloud Build every hour to create an export from the reports. Store the reports in a public Cloud Storage bucket.
  • C. Add an HTTP(S) load balancer in front of the monitoring dashboard. Configure Identity-Aware Proxy to secure the communication channel.
  • D. Add an HTTP(S) load balancer in front of the monitoring dashboard. Set up a Google-managed SSL certificate on the load balancer for traffic encryption.

D. Add an HTTP(S) load balancer in front of the monitoring dashboard. Set up a Google-managed SSL certificate on the load balancer for traffic encryption. This option provides the most secure way to configure a publicly accessible channel for your monitoring dashboard without authentication. The HTTP(S) load balancer will distribute traffic to the backend instances of the dashboard, and the Google-managed SSL certificate will encrypt all traffic between the load balancer and the users.

Selected Answer: D
SSL/TLS is must for data in transit encryption. Since without authentication, D is more suitable option. If authentication required, then we could have chosen C.

Selected Answer: D
A is incorrect. A service account cannot be used to encrypt HTTPS traffic. B is incorrect. Periodical export would not meet the real-time requirement. C is incorrect. IAP is not securing the communication channel, it authenticates the user. Technically Cloud Load Balancing already secures the channel but without an appropriate certificate. D is correct. This provides an external HTTPS endpoint, and uses Google-managed services and a valid SSL certificate.
