Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer Question 112
Single answerGoogle Cloud PlatformYour organization is planning to connect its on-premises datacenter to Google Cloud for a critical application that requires low latency and a guaranteed bandwidth of 5 Gbps. The datacenter is located in a region where a Google Cloud Interconnect location is not available, but several local service providers offer connectivity to Google Cloud. What connectivity option should you recommend?
- A
Dedicated Interconnect
- B
Partner Interconnect
- C
Cloud VPN
- D
Direct Peering
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Partner Interconnect is the most appropriate solution in this scenario because it enables the organization to connect their datacenter to Google Cloud using a third-party service provider. This option is ideal for situations where a Google Cloud Interconnect location is not nearby and supports the required bandwidth of 5 Gbps with low latency and high reliability.
- A. Incorrect.
Dedicated Interconnect requires your datacenter to be physically connected to a Google Cloud Interconnect location. Since the datacenter is not near any Interconnect locations, this option is not feasible.
- B. Correct.
Partner Interconnect is the correct option because it allows the use of a third-party service provider to connect to Google Cloud and supports bandwidth requirements of up to 10 Gbps per VLAN, meeting the organization's need for 5 Gbps guaranteed bandwidth.
- C. Incorrect.
Cloud VPN is not suitable for this scenario as it does not provide low latency or guaranteed bandwidth. It is better suited for workloads with less stringent performance requirements.
- D. Incorrect.
Direct Peering allows you to exchange traffic directly with Google Cloud at a peering location but does not provide the private connectivity or bandwidth guarantees required for this use case.
