Google Associate Cloud EngineerPlanning and configuring a cloud solutionHard
A company is migrating its on-premises data center to Google Cloud. They require a highly available, low-latency, and secure connection between their on-premises network and their Google Cloud VPC network, bypassing the public internet. The connection needs to support bandwidths of up to 10 Gbps and offer a Service Level Agreement (SLA) for uptime. Which Google Cloud networking service should they choose?
- ADedicated Interconnect
- BDirect Peering
- CCloud VPN
- DPartner Interconnect
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Dedicated Interconnect
Dedicated Interconnect provides a direct, private physical connection with high bandwidth (up to 10 Gbps per circuit), low latency, and an SLA, meeting all the specified requirements for a secure, high-performance connection bypassing the public internet.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Direct Peering is for exchanging internet traffic directly with Google, not for connecting an on-premises network to a VPC.
- C. Cloud VPN uses the public internet, which doesn't meet the 'bypassing the public internet' and high bandwidth/SLA requirements.
- D. Partner Interconnect uses a service provider, which might not guarantee the same level of direct control, dedicated bandwidth, or SLA as a Dedicated Interconnect for this specific high-demand scenario.
