Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer Question 119
Select 3Google Cloud PlatformYour organization is adopting a multi-cloud strategy and needs to establish secure, high-performance connectivity between Google Cloud and workloads running in a different public cloud provider. The solution must minimize latency and provide a highly available connection. Which combination of services should you implement?
- A
Use Cloud VPN with dynamic routing to establish connectivity between Google Cloud and the other cloud provider
- B
Set up Cross-Cloud Interconnect between Google Cloud and the other cloud provider's network
- C
Deploy a third-party SD-WAN solution to manage connectivity between Google Cloud and the other cloud provider
- D
Use a peered VPC between Google Cloud and the other cloud provider for direct communication
- E
Leverage Partner Interconnect to connect Google Cloud to the other cloud provider via a third-party vendor
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C
Explanation
To design for multi-cloud connectivity, you can use solutions like Cloud VPN for secure connectivity, Cross-Cloud Interconnect for high-performance and low-latency connections, and third-party SD-WAN solutions for advanced traffic management in a multi-cloud environment. VPC peering and Partner Interconnect, while useful in other scenarios, do not meet the specific requirements for connecting Google Cloud to another public cloud provider.
- A. Correct.
Cloud VPN with dynamic routing is a valid solution for multi-cloud connectivity, providing secure encrypted traffic and dynamic route exchange with the other cloud provider. However, it may not always provide the highest performance compared to dedicated interconnects.
- B. Correct.
Cross-Cloud Interconnect is designed for high-performance, low-latency multi-cloud connectivity. It is a direct and reliable option to establish a connection between Google Cloud and other cloud providers.
- C. Correct.
A third-party SD-WAN solution can be used to manage and optimize multi-cloud connectivity, especially in scenarios requiring advanced traffic management and failover capabilities.
- D. Incorrect.
VPC peering is specific to Google Cloud environments and does not support peering with external cloud providers. This option is not applicable for multi-cloud connectivity.
- E. Incorrect.
Partner Interconnect is used to connect on-premises environments to Google Cloud via a partner vendor, but it is not designed for direct multi-cloud connectivity. It does not meet the requirements of the scenario.
