PCDOE Implementing service monitoring strategies Practice Question
Order the steps to configure a VPC Network Peering between two projects.
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
Create VPC networks in both projects, then configure firewall rules to allow traffic between the VPCs, then create a peering connection from Project A to Project B, then create a peering connection from Project B to Project A, then verify the peering connection.
The correct sequence for configuring VPC Network Peering is to first create the VPC networks in both projects, then configure firewall rules to allow traffic, then create the peering connection in both directions (from Project A to Project B and from Project B to Project A), and finally verify connectivity. Common mistakes include performing steps out of order or omitting the reverse peering.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Create VPC networks in both projects, then configure firewall rules to allow traffic between the VPCs, then create a peering connection from Project A to Project B, then create a peering connection from Project B to Project A, then verify the peering connection.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because VPC networks must exist before firewall rules can be applied, peering connections must be created in both directions to establish full connectivity, and verification ensures the peering is functional.
- ✗
Create VPC networks in both projects, then create peering from A to B, then create peering from B to A, then configure firewall rules, then verify.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because firewall rules should be configured before peering is created to allow initial traffic; otherwise, the peering may be established but traffic could be blocked.
- ✗
Create VPC networks in both projects, then create peering from A to B, then configure firewall rules, then verify.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because it omits creating the reverse peering from Project B to Project A, which is required for bidirectional communication.
- ✗
Configure firewall rules, then create VPC networks in both projects, then create peering from A to B, then create peering from B to A, then verify.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because VPC networks must exist before firewall rules can be applied; you cannot configure firewall rules for networks that do not exist.
