Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer Question 130
Single answerGoogle Cloud PlatformYour company is planning to connect its on-premises network to Google Cloud to enable low-latency access to resources hosted in multiple Google Cloud regions. The organization has its own ASN (Autonomous System Number) and a dedicated network team that is experienced with BGP configuration. However, the company does not want to manage any physical network interconnects. Which connectivity method should you recommend?
- A
Direct Peering
- B
A Verified Peering Provider
- C
Carrier Peering
- D
Dedicated Interconnect
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The company requires a solution that avoids managing physical interconnects while enabling low-latency access to Google Cloud resources. A Verified Peering Provider meets this requirement by leveraging a third-party provider to establish the connection, which also supports BGP to accommodate the company's experienced network team. Direct Peering and Dedicated Interconnect involve managing physical infrastructure, making them unsuitable, while Carrier Peering is not designed for private access to Google Cloud resources.
- A. Incorrect.
Direct Peering would require the company to establish a physical connection to Google’s edge network, which contradicts the requirement of not managing physical network interconnects.
- B. Correct.
A Verified Peering Provider allows the company to connect to Google Cloud through a third-party service provider, fulfilling the requirement of avoiding physical interconnect management, while still supporting BGP configuration.
- C. Incorrect.
Carrier Peering is used primarily for accessing Google services (like YouTube or Google Workspace) rather than connecting to Google Cloud resources in a private and low-latency manner.
- D. Incorrect.
Dedicated Interconnect provides a private, high-speed connection to Google Cloud but requires the organization to manage physical infrastructure, which is not aligned with the given requirements.
