A system administrator needs to configure internal load balancing for backend virtual machine instances communicating over raw TCP within the same Google Cloud VPC network and region. The solution must preserve the client source IP addresses and avoid SSL offloading overhead. Which Google Cloud load balancer service should be planned for this architecture?
- Internal Passthrough Network Load BalancerCevap
- BGlobal External Application Load Balancer
- CCloud CDN integrated with a Storage Bucket
- DExternal Passthrough Network Load Balancer
Cevap
Internal Passthrough Network Load Balancer is the correct load balancer choice for internal Layer 4 TCP traffic requiring client source IP preservation within a VPC region.
The Internal Passthrough Network Load Balancer is a regional Layer 4 load balancer that distributes internal TCP/UDP traffic among Compute Engine instances. Because it is a passthrough load balancer, it routes traffic directly to backends without terminating connections, preserving the client source IP address.
