Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer Question 758
Select 3Google Cloud PlatformYou are managing a hybrid cloud environment with resources on both Google Cloud and your on-premises data center. You notice degraded performance in an application that communicates between these environments. To identify the root cause of the issue, you decide to use Network Intelligence Center. Which specific tools or features within Network Intelligence Center should you leverage to troubleshoot this issue?
- A
Performance Dashboard to monitor latency and throughput between Google Cloud and on-premises resources
- B
Connectivity Tests to verify the end-to-end path and ensure proper routing between Google Cloud and on-premises
- C
Firewall Insights to analyze and optimize firewall rules affecting traffic between Google Cloud and on-premises
- D
Network Topology to visualize network connectivity and identify potential misconfigurations
- E
Metrics Explorer to drill down into VM CPU and memory usage impacting network traffic
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: B, C, D
Explanation
To troubleshoot degraded network performance in a hybrid cloud environment, you should leverage tools within Network Intelligence Center that are designed for network-specific monitoring and diagnostics. Connectivity Tests help verify the end-to-end path, Firewall Insights ensures firewall configurations are not causing issues, and Network Topology provides a comprehensive view of the network to identify misconfigurations. These tools together can help pinpoint the root cause of the issue effectively.
- A. Incorrect.
Performance Dashboard is not a specific feature of Network Intelligence Center. While monitoring performance is important, this tool is not applicable in this context.
- B. Correct.
Connectivity Tests can help identify misconfigurations or routing issues in the end-to-end path between Google Cloud and on-premises resources, making it a useful tool for troubleshooting in this scenario.
- C. Correct.
Firewall Insights analyzes firewall rules to ensure they are not inadvertently blocking or degrading traffic, which is critical when diagnosing connectivity issues across environments.
- D. Correct.
Network Topology provides a visual representation of the network, which helps identify misconfigurations or missing connectivity between components, making it a valuable tool in troubleshooting.
- E. Incorrect.
Metrics Explorer is unrelated to Network Intelligence Center and focuses on resource utilization, such as CPU and memory, rather than network-specific troubleshooting.
