A company wants to connect two VPCs in the same region so that they can communicate using internal IP addresses without transiting the internet. They have no overlapping IP ranges. Which GCP networking feature should they use?

Trap 1: Cloud VPN

Cloud VPN uses public internet, not direct internal IP communication.

Trap 2: Cloud NAT

Cloud NAT provides outbound internet access, not VPC connectivity.

Trap 3: Cloud Interconnect

Cloud Interconnect is for on-premises to GCP connectivity, not VPC-to-VPC.

A
Cloud VPN
Why wrong: Cloud VPN uses public internet, not direct internal IP communication.
B
Cloud NAT
Why wrong: Cloud NAT provides outbound internet access, not VPC connectivity.
C
Cloud Interconnect
Why wrong: Cloud Interconnect is for on-premises to GCP connectivity, not VPC-to-VPC.
D
VPC peering
Correct. VPC peering enables private connectivity between VPCs using internal IPs.

Designing, Planning, and Prototyping a GCP Network questions

A company wants to connect two VPCs in the same region so that they can communicate using internal IP addresses without transiting the internet. They have no overlapping IP ranges. Which GCP networking feature should they use?

An organization needs to create a VPC that automatically creates subnets in every region as new regions become available. Which VPC type should they use?

A company has two VPCs connected via VPC peering. They want resources in VPC A to be able to reach a service in VPC B that uses a custom static route. What must be configured on the VPC peering connection?

A financial services company requires a dedicated, low-latency connection between their on-premises data center and Google Cloud. They need a 99.99% SLA and bandwidth of 10 Gbps. Which connectivity option should they choose?

A company is planning a hybrid connectivity setup using HA VPN. They want to ensure high availability by using two Cloud VPN gateways. How many tunnels and external IP addresses are required for the HA VPN to achieve 99.99% SLA?

A company uses Cloud DNS private zones for their internal network. They have multiple projects and want to resolve DNS names from one project's private zone in another project. Which feature should they use?

An organization has multiple VPCs in a Shared VPC setup. They want to allow only certain service projects to use a specific subnet in the host project. What should they configure?

A company is connecting their on-premises network to GCP via Cloud Interconnect with VLAN attachments and BGP sessions. They want to prefer one attachment over the other for traffic to a specific prefix. Which BGP attribute should they use?

A developer wants to create a GKE cluster with a separate subnet for pods and services to avoid IP address exhaustion. What type of secondary IP ranges should they configure on the VPC subnet?

A company wants to connect multiple on-premises data centers and multiple GCP VPCs in a hub-and-spoke topology using GCP's managed service. Which service provides this capability?

An on-premises DNS server is configured to forward queries for a private zone in GCP. They set up inbound DNS forwarding from on-prem to GCP using Cloud DNS forwarding. What must be configured on the VPC?

A company needs to advertise a specific prefix from their on-premises network to GCP via Cloud Router. They do not want to advertise all connected networks. What should they configure on the Cloud Router's BGP peer?

A company is planning to use Partner Interconnect to connect their on-premises network to GCP. Which TWO of the following are characteristics of Partner Interconnect?

A company needs to design a split-horizon DNS solution where internal queries resolve to private IPs and external queries resolve to public IPs for the same domain. Which TWO services or configurations should they use?

A company has multiple VPCs in different projects and wants to connect them all to a single on-premises data center using a hub-and-spoke model with Network Connectivity Center (NCC). Which THREE components are required for this setup?

A startup is setting up a new GCP project and needs to create a VPC that will have predictable IP ranges for future peering with other VPCs. They do not anticipate needing to grow the network beyond the initial IP range. Which VPC type should they choose?

An organization is migrating on-premises workloads to GCP. They need a dedicated, high-bandwidth connection with a 99.99% SLA. They have a co-location facility near a Google Cloud region. Which connectivity option should they choose?

A company has two VPCs in different projects that need to communicate. They want to avoid using VPC peering due to the limit on the number of peerings and the need for transitive routing. Which GCP service can provide a hub-and-spoke topology to connect multiple VPCs and on-premises networks?

A company wants to use Cloud DNS to resolve queries for a private zone (e.g., example.internal) from multiple VPCs in the same project. They need to ensure that instances in all VPCs can resolve the zone. What is the simplest approach?
