Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer Question 699
Single answerGoogle Cloud PlatformYour company has a hybrid environment that connects its on-premises data center to Google Cloud. You have been tasked with creating a new spoke in a Shared VPC environment to connect a regional Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network with the on-premises network. The spoke must provide scalable, high-throughput connectivity and support low-latency workloads. What is the most suitable solution for this spoke?
- A
Use a Cloud VPN connection as the spoke to connect to the on-premises data center.
- B
Use a Dedicated Interconnect as the spoke to connect to the on-premises data center.
- C
Use a Partner Interconnect as the spoke to connect to the on-premises data center.
- D
Use a direct private IP peering connection as the spoke to connect to the on-premises data center.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Dedicated Interconnect is the best choice for connecting a regional VPC network to the on-premises data center in this scenario because it offers high throughput, low latency, and the scalability required for performance-critical workloads. While other options like Cloud VPN and Partner Interconnect can be used for hybrid connectivity, they do not meet the performance requirements as effectively as Dedicated Interconnect.
- A. Incorrect.
Cloud VPN is suitable for low-throughput or less critical workloads and cannot provide the high-bandwidth, low-latency requirements needed for scalable and performance-critical workloads.
- B. Correct.
Dedicated Interconnect provides a high-throughput, low-latency connection directly to Google Cloud, making it the most suitable option for scalable and performance-critical workloads in a hybrid environment.
- C. Incorrect.
Partner Interconnect can provide scalable connectivity but is generally used when Dedicated Interconnect is not feasible. It might not meet the performance requirements of very high-throughput and low-latency workloads.
- D. Incorrect.
Private IP peering is used for connecting directly to Google's services (e.g., Google Workspace, YouTube) but is not designed for hybrid connectivity between on-premises and Google Cloud.
