Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer Question 111
Select 2Google Cloud PlatformYour organization has a hybrid cloud architecture with on-premises data centers connected to Google Cloud. The data center requires high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity to Google Cloud to support critical applications. However, your organization also has a smaller branch office that needs low-cost connectivity to Google Cloud for occasional data transfers. Which combination of connectivity solutions should you recommend?
- A
Use Dedicated Interconnect for the data center and Cloud VPN for the branch office.
- B
Use Partner Interconnect for the data center and Cloud VPN for the branch office.
- C
Use Dedicated Interconnect for both the data center and the branch office.
- D
Use Cloud VPN for both the data center and the branch office.
- E
Use Partner Interconnect for the data center and Partner Interconnect for the branch office.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
To design for both high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity and cost-effectiveness, it is essential to use the appropriate connectivity solution for each scenario. Dedicated Interconnect or Partner Interconnect is ideal for the data center's high-performance needs, while Cloud VPN provides a low-cost option for the branch office's occasional data transfers. This combination balances performance and cost effectively.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Dedicated Interconnect provides high-bandwidth and low-latency connectivity, which is suitable for the data center's requirements. Cloud VPN is cost-effective and sufficient for the branch office with occasional data transfers.
- B. Correct.
Correct: Partner Interconnect is a viable alternative for the data center if Dedicated Interconnect is not feasible. It also allows for flexibility in bandwidth and is suitable for the branch office when paired with a Cloud VPN.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Using Dedicated Interconnect for both the data center and the branch office would be unnecessarily costly and excessive for the branch office's occasional data transfers.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Cloud VPN alone does not meet the high-bandwidth, low-latency requirements of the data center's critical applications.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Partner Interconnect for both locations would result in higher costs and complexity for the branch office, which does not require such a robust connection.
