GCP Multi-Region HTTP Load Balancer with Regional Cloud Run Backends
Converted the single-region VM and MIG-based web tier into a structurally different multi-region GCP design using two separate VPCs, regional API gateways, Cloud Run services, Firestore databases, Pub/Sub messaging, and Cloud Storage in us-central1 and us-east1. Added global Cloud DNS for traffic entry and cross-region replication links between data and storage services to improve resilience and regional failover.

Architecture Description
A GCP HTTP load balancer distributed traffic to a single-region managed instance group of Apache web servers, using health checks, proxy, URL map, backend service, and firewall rules to route traffic only to healthy VM instances.

I see the biggest issue as a mismatch between the stated design and the actual components, and that creates real production risk. The description talks about a global HTTP load balancer sending traffic to a single-region managed instance group of Apache VMs, but the diagram lists regional Cloud Run, API Gateway, Firestore, Pub/Sub, and Storage in two regions with no explicit global load balancer component.
