Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer Question 113
Single answerGoogle Cloud PlatformYour company needs to establish secure and high-bandwidth connectivity between its on-premises data center and Google Cloud. The data center has a predictable and consistent bandwidth requirement of 5 Gbps. However, the company does not have access to a colocation facility near a Google Cloud region or edge location. Which connectivity option is most appropriate for this scenario?
- A
Dedicated Interconnect
- B
Partner Interconnect
- C
Cloud VPN
- D
Direct Peering
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
In this scenario, the company requires a high-bandwidth option (5 Gbps) but does not have access to a colocation facility near a Google Cloud region or edge location. Partner Interconnect is specifically designed to address such use cases, where a third-party service provider facilitates the connection between the data center and Google Cloud. Dedicated Interconnect would only be feasible if the company had access to a colocation facility, which is not the case here.
- A. Incorrect.
Dedicated Interconnect provides high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity but requires access to a colocation facility near a Google Cloud region or edge location, which the company does not have in this scenario.
- B. Correct.
Partner Interconnect allows high-bandwidth connectivity through a service provider, making it suitable for companies that do not have access to a colocation facility. This matches the scenario described.
- C. Incorrect.
Cloud VPN is more suitable for low to medium bandwidth needs and is not ideal for consistent 5 Gbps traffic, as it does not offer the same performance levels as Interconnect options.
- D. Incorrect.
Direct Peering allows connecting your network to Google's edge network, but it does not offer the same capabilities as Dedicated or Partner Interconnect for enterprise-grade, high-bandwidth connectivity.
