An administrator is setting up a new Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network in Google Cloud. They need to create a custom network that supports private IP addresses for Compute Engine instances and allows for firewall rules to control traffic between subnets. Which type of VPC network should the administrator create?
- AAuto mode VPC network
- BDefault VPC network
- CCustom mode VPC network
- DShared VPC network
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Custom mode VPC network
A custom mode VPC network allows administrators to manually create and control subnets, including their IP address ranges, and apply fine-grained firewall rules, which is essential for managing private IP addressing and inter-subnet traffic.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Auto mode VPC networks automatically create subnets in each region with predefined IP ranges and default firewall rules, offering less control over IP addressing and subnet configuration.
- B. The default VPC network is an auto mode network provided with every new project, having the same limitations as other auto mode networks.
- D. Shared VPC is a capability to share a VPC network across multiple projects, not a type of VPC network itself that defines subnet control.
Custom mode VPC network
A type of Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network that gives users full control over subnet creation, IP address ranges, and routing.
- Manual subnet creation
- Custom IP ranges
- Fine-grained firewall control
Memory trick: Custom VPC gives you the keys to your network's castle.
