Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer Exam - Topic 8 Question 88 Discussion

Actual exam question for Google's Professional Cloud Network Engineer exam

Question #: 88
Topic #: 8

[All Professional Cloud Network Engineer Questions]

You are designing a Partner Interconnect hybrid cloud connectivity solution with geo-redundancy across two metropolitan areas. You want to follow Google-recommended practices to set up the following region/metro pairs:

(region 1/metro 1)

(region 2/metro 2)

What should you do?

ACreate a Cloud Router in region 1 with two VLAN attachments connected to metro1-zone1-x.
Create a Cloud Router in region 2 with two VLAN attachments connected to metro1-zone2-x.

BCreate a Cloud Router in region 1 with one VLAN attachment connected to metro1-zone1-x.
Create a Cloud Router in region 2 with two VLAN attachments connected to metro2-zone2-x.

CCreate a Cloud Router in region 1 with one VLAN attachment connected to metro1-zone2-x.
Create a Cloud Router in region 2 with one VLAN attachment connected to metro2-zone2-x.

DCreate a Cloud Router in region 1 with one VLAN attachment connected to metro1-zone1-x and one VLAN attachment connected to metro1-zone2-x.
Create a Cloud Router in region 2 with one VLAN attachment connected to metro2-zone1-x and one VLAN attachment to metro2-zone2-x.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

The correct answer is D because it meets the following requirements:

It matches the hub-and-spoke model of the on-premises network, where each spoke is a separate VPC network that is connected to a central hub VPC network.

It minimizes management overhead and cost, because VPC Network Peering is a simple and low-cost way to connect VPC networks without using any external IP addresses or VPN gateways1.

It uses default networking quotas and limits, because VPC Network Peering does not consume any quota or limit for VPN tunnels, external IP addresses, or forwarding rules2.

It prevents connectivity between the spokes, because VPC Network Peering is non-transitive by default, meaning that a spoke can only communicate with the hub, not with other spokes1.To enforce this restriction, a third-party network appliance can be used as a default gateway in each spoke VPC network, which can filter out any traffic destined for other spokes3.

Option A is incorrect because it does not minimize cost, as Cloud VPN charges for egress traffic and requires external IP addresses for the VPN gateways4.Option B is incorrect because it does not prevent connectivity between the spokes, as VPC Network Peering allows direct communication between peered VPC networks by default1. Option C is incorrect because it does not minimize cost or use default quotas and limits, for the same reasons as option A.

I disagree with D, too many attachments could complicate things.

Wait, why would you only use one VLAN attachment in region 1? Sounds risky!

I think B could work too, but not sure about the single VLAN in region 1.

I feel like option A might be too limited since it only has two VLANs in total. We should probably aim for more redundancy across both regions.

I'm a bit confused about the metro zones. Did we cover if we should connect to both zones in each region or just one?

I remember we discussed the importance of having multiple VLAN attachments for redundancy, but I'm not sure if it's necessary to have two in each region.

This is a tricky one, but I think I can figure it out. I'll need to review the Google recommendations and make sure I'm following their best practices. Let me re-read the question and options carefully.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is to create a Cloud Router in each region with VLAN attachments to the corresponding metro zones for redundancy. I'll go with option D since it seems to best match the instructions.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the different metro zones and how they relate to the regions. I'll need to make sure I understand the topology and requirements before selecting an answer.

Okay, let's see. I think the Response Action element is used to control where the user navigates after the Integration Procedure is completed. That sounds like option C to me.

Option D all the way! Gotta love that geo-redundancy. It's like having a backup for your backup - just in case your backup fails.

Option B seems a bit strange to me. Why would we connect the Cloud Router in region 2 to a different metro area than region 1? That doesn't seem very 'geo-redundant' to me.

I'm not sure why we need to create two Cloud Routers. Wouldn't one Cloud Router with multiple VLAN attachments in each region be sufficient?
