PCDOE Practice Question: Bootstrapping a Google Cloud organization for DevOps
A company wants to enforce that all projects in the organization have a specific VPC Service Controls perimeter. What is the most efficient way to achieve this?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse organization policies with VPC Service Controls, assuming that an organization policy can directly set a perimeter, but in reality, organization policies are for different constraints and cannot define perimeters.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use folder-level VPC Service Controls perimeters.
Folder-level VPC Service Controls perimeters allow you to apply a single perimeter configuration to all projects within a folder, ensuring consistent enforcement across the organization without needing to configure each project individually. This is the most efficient method because it leverages the resource hierarchy to inherit the policy, reducing administrative overhead and preventing misconfigurations.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Use folder-level VPC Service Controls perimeters.
Why this is correct
Folder-level perimeters apply to all projects in the folder, ensuring consistent enforcement.
- ✗
Use project-level VPC Service Controls perimeters.
Why it's wrong here
Project-level perimeters require manual configuration for each project, inefficient.
- ✗
Use organization policies to set the perimeter.
Why it's wrong here
Organization policies are for constraints, not VPC Service Controls perimeters.
- ✗
Use a custom script to monitor and alert on non-compliant projects.
Why it's wrong here
Monitoring does not enforce the perimeter; it only detects violations.
