Designing the overall network architecture
In this section, you will learn what the main strategies are for failover and DR. You will learn what kinds of designing options for high availability (HA) in GCP networking you can adopt and what the recommended Domain Name System (DNS) strategies in a hybrid cloud environment are that you can use in Google Cloud. Moreover, you will learn what the most appropriate load-balancing options are that you can use in your design. Then, you will go through the optimization design of latency in GCP. Finally, you will learn about Google Cloud's network security strategy.
Failover and DR strategy
When you design new cloud architecture to support your services, it is especially important to have a well-tested DR plan in case something goes wrong. Indeed, DR strategies begin by analyzing two important key metrics that characterize the business impact. These are outlined here:
- Recovery Time Objective (RTO): This metric is the maximum...
