GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

You are deploying a mission-critical transactional database on a Compute Engine VM in the us-central1 region. Operations require that any single-zone outage in the region must result in zero data loss and only minimal recovery time. The team does not want to implement application-level replication or build custom failover logic; instead, they prefer a Google-managed storage solution that synchronously protects the disk data across zones while keeping write latency low. Which storage choice best satisfies these requirements?

  • Attach a Regional Persistent Disk to the VM to provide synchronous replication across two zones in the region.

  • Keep the current Zonal Persistent Disk but create a second VM in another zone and rely on application-level replication between the VMs.

  • Provision a Hyperdisk Extreme volume in the same zone as the VM for higher IOPS.

  • Use a Zonal Persistent Disk (Balanced) and configure an automated hourly snapshot schedule.
