Explanation
To establish a private and secure connection between a Google Cloud VPC network and an external on-premises network without using the public internet, Cloud Interconnect is the appropriate service. It provides a dedicated connection, ensuring data does not traverse the public internet, thereby enhancing security and performance.
- A. Incorrect.
Cloud VPN is used to securely connect your on-premises network to your Google Cloud VPC network over the public internet using an IPsec VPN connection. It does not avoid using the public internet.
- B. Correct.
Cloud Interconnect provides a private, direct connection between your on-premises network and your Google Cloud VPC network, bypassing the public internet, which aligns with the requirement of establishing a private and secure connection.
- C. Incorrect.
Cloud NAT is used for outbound internet access from resources within Google Cloud that do not have external IP addresses. It is not used for private interconnections with on-premises networks.
- D. Incorrect.
Cloud CDN is used to deliver content to users from the nearest edge location. It is not related to creating a private network connection with an on-premises network.
