You reviewed the user behavior for your main application, which uses an external global Application Load Balancer, and found that the backend servers were overloaded due to erratic spikes in client requests. You need to limit concurrent sessions and return an HTTP 429 'Too Many Requests' response back to the client while following Google-recommended practices. What should you do?

A.

Create a Cloud Armor security policy, and apply the predefined Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) rules to automatically implement the rate limit per client IP address.

D.

Create a Cloud Armor security policy, and associate the policy with the load balancer. Configure the security policy's settings as follows: action: throttle, conform-action: allow, exceed-action: deny-429.

Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

To control traffic spikes and enforce rate limits, configure Cloud Armor with throttle and deny-429 actions. This allows you to set rate limits per client IP and ensures that excess traffic receives an HTTP 429 response, effectively controlling overload situations per Google best practices.
