Task 1.
zonal resources: Resources that live in a zone are referred to as zonal resources.
Virtual machine instances and persistent disks live in a zone. If you want to attach a persistent
disk to a virtual machine instance, both resources must be in the same zone.
Similarly, if you want to assign a static IP address to an instance, the instance must be in the
same region as the static IP address.

Ans: GKE simplifies the deployment, management, and scaling of containerized
applications using Kubernetes.
What is a GKE Cluster?

What is network load balancer ?
Ans: NLB operates at the transport layer (Layer 4) of the OSI model, focusing on
routing traffic based on IP addresses and ports. It doesn't inspect or manipulate
the application layer data.NLB is designed for routing TCP and UDP traffic,
making it suitable for a wide range of non-HTTP protocols, including database
connections and custom application protocols.
What is a HTTP load balancer ?
Ans: HTTP Load Balancer operates at the application layer (Layer 7) of the OSI
model, making routing decisions based on HTTP/HTTPS request details, such as
URL paths and headers.This load balancer is specifically designed for handling
HTTP and HTTPS traffic, allowing it to perform content-based routing and distribute
requests to backend services based on application-specific criteria.
