Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer Question 128
Single answerGoogle Cloud PlatformYour company needs to connect its on-premises network to Google Cloud for a real-time, low-latency application. The connection must provide direct access to Google services such as BigQuery and Google Cloud Storage without traversing the public internet. Additionally, your company does not currently have the infrastructure to establish a direct connection with Google, but there are several local internet service providers (ISPs) in your city that are verified by Google. Which connectivity option should you choose?
- A
Use Direct Peering to establish a direct connection to Google's network.
- B
Use a Verified Peering Provider to connect to Google's network through a third-party ISP.
- C
Use a VPN over the public internet to connect to Google's services.
- D
Use Carrier Peering to connect to Google's services through a telecommunications provider.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The Verified Peering Provider option allows your company to leverage a third-party ISP that has been verified by Google to establish a private, low-latency connection to Google Cloud services. This is ideal for organizations that cannot set up a Direct Peering connection themselves but still need reliable and secure access to Google Cloud. Direct Peering would require additional infrastructure that your company does not have, while VPN and Carrier Peering do not meet the specified requirements for this scenario.
- A. Incorrect.
Direct Peering requires your company to establish a physical connection to Google’s edge locations, which your company is not equipped to do. This option is not feasible for the described scenario.
- B. Correct.
Using a Verified Peering Provider is the best option because it allows your company to connect to Google’s network through a third-party ISP that is verified by Google. This approach eliminates the need for your company to set up its own direct connection while still achieving low latency and private connectivity.
- C. Incorrect.
A VPN over the public internet would not meet the requirement for direct access to Google’s services without traversing the public internet. Additionally, it may not provide the low latency required by the real-time application.
- D. Incorrect.
Carrier Peering is not the correct choice in this scenario because it is designed for accessing Google services that are not part of Google Cloud (e.g., YouTube, Google Workspace), and it does not meet the requirements for low-latency, private connectivity to Google Cloud services.
