Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer Question 698
Select 2Google Cloud PlatformYou are designing a hybrid network for a company that requires low-latency, high-bandwidth communication between their on-premises data center and Google Cloud. However, they also want to use VPN as a backup connection in case their primary connection fails. Which combination of Google Cloud services should you configure as hybrid spokes to meet these requirements?
- A
Dedicated Interconnect
- B
Partner Interconnect
- C
Cloud VPN
- D
Cloud NAT
- E
Traffic Director
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
To create a hybrid network with low-latency, high-bandwidth requirements, Dedicated Interconnect is the optimal choice for primary connectivity. Cloud VPN provides a secure failover option in case the primary connection fails, ensuring high availability. Other options like Cloud NAT and Traffic Director are not relevant to hybrid connectivity in this context.
- A. Correct.
Dedicated Interconnect is the recommended option for low-latency and high-bandwidth communication between on-premises systems and Google Cloud. It directly connects your on-premises network to Google's network.
- B. Incorrect.
Partner Interconnect can also provide connectivity between on-premises systems and Google Cloud, but it is typically used when Dedicated Interconnect is not available directly in your location or when you need a partner-managed solution. However, it is not explicitly required in this scenario because Dedicated Interconnect is the primary choice.
- C. Correct.
Cloud VPN can serve as a backup connection in case the Dedicated Interconnect fails, ensuring connectivity through a secure and encrypted tunnel.
- D. Incorrect.
Cloud NAT is used for enabling internet access for instances without public IP addresses. It is not relevant to this scenario, as the question focuses on hybrid connectivity.
- E. Incorrect.
Traffic Director is a global traffic management tool for service mesh and load balancing. It is unrelated to hybrid network connectivity.
