Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer Question 117
Single answerGoogle Cloud PlatformYou are designing a multi-cloud network to connect resources between Google Cloud and another cloud provider. The organization requires high availability, low latency, and a private connection between the clouds. Which solution should you choose?
- A
Use Cloud VPN to establish IPsec VPN tunnels between the two clouds.
- B
Use Cross-Cloud Interconnect to create a private, high-speed connection between the clouds.
- C
Use Cloud Load Balancing to distribute traffic between the two clouds.
- D
Use a public internet connection with Network Address Translation (NAT) for communication.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct choice is Cross-Cloud Interconnect because it provides a private, high-speed, and low-latency connection between Google Cloud and other cloud providers. It is designed to meet the requirements of scenarios where reliability and performance are critical for multi-cloud connectivity.
- A. Incorrect.
Cloud VPN provides secure connectivity over the public internet but does not offer the low latency and high availability required for this scenario. It may not meet the performance needs for a high-speed private connection.
- B. Correct.
Cross-Cloud Interconnect is designed for private, high-speed, low-latency connections between Google Cloud and other cloud providers. It meets all the requirements of the scenario, including high availability and performance.
- C. Incorrect.
Cloud Load Balancing is not designed for inter-cloud connectivity; it is used for managing traffic distribution within Google Cloud or to external clients.
- D. Incorrect.
Using a public internet connection with NAT does not meet the requirements of low latency, high availability, or private connectivity, as it relies on the public internet.
