Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer Exam - Topic 3 Question 80 Discussion

Actual exam question for Google's Professional Cloud Network Engineer exam
Question #: 80
Topic #: 3
[All Professional Cloud Network Engineer Questions]

Your company recently migrated to Google Cloud in a Single region. You configured separate Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks for two departments. Department A and Department B. Department A has requested access to resources that are part Of Department Bis VPC. You need to configure the traffic from private IP addresses to flow between the VPCs using multi-NIC virtual machines (VMS) to meet security requirements Your configuration also must

* Support both TCP and UDP protocols

* Provide fully automated failover

* Include health-checks

Require minimal manual Intervention In the client VMS

Which approach should you take?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The correct answer is D. Create an instance template and a managed instance group. Configure two separate internal TCP/UDP load balancers for each protocol (TCP/UDP), and configure the client VMs to use the internal load balancers' virtual IP addresses.

This answer is based on the following facts:

Using multi-NIC VMs as network virtual appliances (NVAs) allows you to route traffic between different VPC networks1. You can use NVAs to implement custom network policies and security requirements.

Using an instance template and a managed instance group allows you to create and manage multiple identical NVAs2. You can also use health checks and autoscaling policies to ensure high availability and reliability of your NVAs.

Using internal TCP/UDP load balancers allows you to distribute traffic from client VMs to NVAs based on the protocol and port3. You can also use health checks and failover policies to ensure that only healthy NVAs receive traffic.

Configuring the client VMs to use the internal load balancers' virtual IP addresses allows you to simplify the routing configuration and avoid manual intervention4. You do not need to create static routes or update them when NVAs are added or removed.

The other options are not correct because:

Option A is not suitable. Creating the VMs in the same zone does not provide high availability or failover. Using static routes with IP addresses as next hops requires manual intervention when NVAs are added or removed.

Option B is not optimal. Creating the VMs in different zones provides high availability, but not failover. Using static routes with instance names as next hops requires manual intervention when NVAs are added or removed.

Option C is not feasible. Creating an instance template and a managed instance group provides high availability and reliability, but using a single internal load balancer does not support both TCP and UDP protocols. You cannot define a custom static route with an internal load balancer as the next hop.

Wait, can we really use instance names as next hops?

I definitely remember that health checks are crucial for failover, so I think we need to ensure whatever option we choose supports that. Option D might be overkill, though.

I’m a bit confused about the static routes. I feel like I read that using instance names as next hops could complicate things, but I can't recall the details.

I think option C sounds familiar because it mentions a managed instance group, which we practiced in class. It might be the right choice for automated failover.

I remember something about using internal load balancers for traffic between VPCs, but I'm not sure if it's better to use one or two for TCP and UDP.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. Option C looks like the way to go - an instance template, managed instance group, and a single internal load balancer should do the trick.

Okay, I think I've got it. The key is to use an internal load balancer to handle the traffic between the VPCs. That way, we can get the automated failover and health checks that are required.

Okay, I think I've got it. The key here is the phrase "consequences attached to carrying out responsibilities." That points to the concept of accountability, which is option D.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'd go with B - low transportation costs, since that would likely lead to lower overall inventory levels.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question is asking about the Continuous Monitoring phase, but some of the options seem to be related to other phases like accreditation. I'll need to think this through and make sure I understand the key activities in the Continuous Monitoring process.
