A company wants to connect their on-premises data center to Google Cloud with a dedicated private connection that provides 99.99% availability and supports up to 100 Gbps bandwidth. They have a colocation facility near a Google Cloud region. Which connectivity option should they choose?

Trap 1: Partner Interconnect

Partner Interconnect is limited to 50 Mbps–10 Gbps and maximum 10 Gbps per connection. It relies on a third-party provider.

Trap 2: Direct Peering

Direct Peering does not offer an SLA and is not intended for production traffic requiring guaranteed bandwidth.

Trap 3: HA VPN

HA VPN provides 99.99% SLA but bandwidth is limited to 3 Gbps per tunnel and traffic traverses the public internet.
