Google Cloud Digital LeaderDigital transformation with Google CloudMedium
A multinational corporation is migrating its on-premises data centers to Google Cloud as part of a strategic digital transformation. They require a highly secure, private, and low-latency connection between their existing data centers and Google Cloud, ensuring that sensitive data transfer does not traverse the public internet. Which Google Cloud networking service should they utilize to establish this dedicated connection?
- ACloud Interconnect
- BCloud CDN
- CVPC Network Peering
- DCloud VPN
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Cloud Interconnect
Cloud Interconnect provides direct, private, high-bandwidth, and low-latency connections between an on-premises network and Google Cloud. This ensures secure transfer of sensitive data without traversing the public internet, which is critical for the multinational corporation.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Cloud CDN is a content delivery network for caching web content, not for private data center connectivity.
- C. VPC Network Peering connects two Google Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks, not an on-premises data center to Google Cloud.
- D. Cloud VPN creates a secure connection over the public internet, which does not meet the 'does not traverse the public internet' requirement.
