During a disaster-recovery review, you are asked which existing resource would remain fully manageable if an entire Google Cloud region became unavailable. The project currently includes: a custom-mode VPC network, three subnetworks (us-east1, us-central1, europe-west1), a regional Cloud NAT gateway in us-east1, and a zonal Compute Engine VM in us-east1-b. Which component is classified as a global resource?
The VPC network itself is a global resource. Its control plane spans Google's backbone and is not tied to any particular region or zone, so it is still manageable even if a single region goes down. Subnetworks inherit the regional location of the IP ranges they are created in, Cloud NAT gateways are regional resources that depend on regional subnets, and Compute Engine virtual machines are zonal resources that exist in a specific zone within a region.
