Drag and drop the steps to configure a VPC network with private Google access for on-premises connectivity using Cloud VPN into the correct order.
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 network with subnets, then enable Private Google Access on the subnets, then create Cloud VPN gateway and VPN tunnel, then configure the on-premises VPN device.
Private Google Access allows on-premises hosts to reach Google APIs via VPN without public IPs.
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 network with subnets, then enable Private Google Access on the subnets, then create Cloud VPN gateway and VPN tunnel, then configure the on-premises VPN device.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because you must first have a VPC network and subnets, then enable Private Google Access on the subnets to allow on-premises hosts to reach Google APIs. After that, you set up the Cloud VPN gateway and tunnel to establish connectivity, and finally configure the on-premises device to complete the VPN connection.
- ✗
Create VPC network with subnets, then create Cloud VPN gateway and VPN tunnel, then enable Private Google Access on the subnets, then configure the on-premises VPN device.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because enabling Private Google Access after setting up the VPN could cause a temporary lack of access for on-premises hosts. Private Google Access should be enabled before the VPN is used to ensure seamless connectivity to Google APIs.
- ✗
Enable Private Google Access on the subnets, then create VPC network with subnets, then create Cloud VPN gateway and VPN tunnel, then configure the on-premises VPN device.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you cannot enable Private Google Access on subnets that do not yet exist. The VPC network and subnets must be created first before Private Google Access can be enabled.
- ✗
Create Cloud VPN gateway and VPN tunnel, then create VPC network with subnets, then enable Private Google Access on the subnets, then configure the on-premises VPN device.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because a Cloud VPN gateway requires an existing VPC network to attach to. Creating the VPN gateway before the VPC is not possible, and enabling Private Google Access must happen after the subnet creation.
