You have an application hosted on a Compute Engine virtual machine instance that cannot communicate with a resource outside of its subnet. When you review the flow and firewall logs, you do not see any denied traffic listed.
During troubleshooting you find:
* Flow logs are enabled for the VPC subnet, and all firewall rules are set to log.
* The subnetwork logs are not excluded from Stackdriver.
* The instance that is hosting the application can communicate outside the subnet.
* Other instances within the subnet can communicate outside the subnet.
* The external resource initiates communication.
What is the most likely cause of the missing log lines?

You are using a third-party next-generation firewall to inspect traffic. You created a custom route of 0.0.0.0/0 to route egress traffic to the firewall. You want to allow your VPC instances without public IP addresses to access the BigQuery and Cloud Pub/Sub APIs, without sending the traffic through the firewall.
Which two actions should you take? (Choose two.)

Your end users are located in close proximity to us-east1 and europe-west1. Their workloads need to communicate with each other. You want to minimize cost and increase network efficiency.
How should you design this topology?

You are configuring a new application that will be exposed behind an external load balancer with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and support TCP pass-through on port 443. You will have backends in two regions: us-west1 and us-east1. You want to serve the content with the lowest possible latency while ensuring high availability and autoscaling. Which configuration should you use?

Your company has launched a mobile application that uploads pictures to google cloud storage bucket. The application was successfully uploading the pictures to google cloud storage buckets, but lately the application has become popular and you start seeing 429 errors. Please suggest the ways to address the issue. Please select any two.
