Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer Question 711
Select 3Google Cloud PlatformYour organization has deployed a hybrid cloud architecture with workloads running both on-premises and in Google Cloud. To streamline network troubleshooting, you need to monitor traffic flow between your on-premises data center and Google Cloud VPCs. Which combination of Google Cloud Observability tools can help you achieve this effectively?
- A
Cloud Logging with VPC Flow Logs enabled
- B
Cloud Monitoring with custom dashboards
- C
Cloud Trace to analyze end-to-end request latency
- D
Network Intelligence Center for topology and connectivity insights
- E
Error Reporting for tracking application errors
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To monitor and troubleshoot traffic flow in a hybrid cloud network, you need tools that provide visibility into network-level metrics and topology. Enabling VPC Flow Logs in Cloud Logging captures detailed traffic information, Cloud Monitoring visualizes these metrics through dashboards, and Network Intelligence Center offers connectivity and topology insights. Together, these tools cover the key aspects of network observability, making them the correct combination for this scenario.
- A. Correct.
Enabling VPC Flow Logs in Cloud Logging provides detailed information about network traffic, such as source IP, destination IP, protocols, and bytes transferred. This is essential for monitoring traffic flows in a hybrid cloud network.
- B. Correct.
Cloud Monitoring allows you to create custom dashboards to visualize metrics such as traffic volume, latency, and error rates, making it a valuable tool for network troubleshooting.
- C. Incorrect.
Cloud Trace focuses on analyzing application-level request latency rather than network traffic, so it is not suitable for monitoring hybrid cloud network flows.
- D. Correct.
Network Intelligence Center provides tools such as Network Topology and Connectivity Tests, which are specifically designed to give insights into network connectivity and performance issues within the Google Cloud and hybrid environments.
- E. Incorrect.
Error Reporting is used for tracking application errors and debugging code issues, which is unrelated to network traffic monitoring.
