Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
For low-latency and high-throughput connectivity between Google Cloud and on-premises networks, Cloud Interconnect is the most suitable solution as it provides a dedicated connection that can meet the performance requirements of mission-critical applications. Other options like Cloud VPN, while secure, do not typically offer the same level of performance.
- A. Incorrect.
Cloud VPN can establish a secure connection over the internet, but it may not provide the low-latency and high-throughput connection required for mission-critical applications.
- B. Correct.
Cloud Interconnect provides a dedicated, high-bandwidth connection that can offer the low-latency and high-throughput needed for critical applications, making it the best option for this scenario.
- C. Incorrect.
VPC Peering is used to connect two VPC networks within Google Cloud, and cannot be used to connect to on-premises networks.
- D. Incorrect.
Shared VPC allows multiple projects to utilize a common VPC network, but it is not used for connecting to on-premises networks.
