Firewall
15. You need to store data for X and therefore you are using a cache for Y. How will the cache affect data retrieval?
Using a cache will reduce latency, since retrieving from a cache is faster than retrieving from SSDs or HDDS.
1. What is the fundamental unit of computing in cloud computing?
VM
14. When setting up a network in GCP, your network the resources in it are treated as what?
