Difficulty: EasyConfiguring Hybrid Connectivity and VPN Interconnects

An organization needs to establish an encrypted connection over the public internet between their on-premises network and a Google Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) for a low-bandwidth workload requiring 500 Mbps throughput. Which Google Cloud hybrid connectivity service should they implement?

  1. HA Cloud VPNAnswer
  2. B
    Dedicated Interconnect
  3. C
    VPC Network Peering
  4. D
    VPC Service Controls

Answer

HA Cloud VPN is the appropriate solution because it provides secure, IPsec-encrypted connectivity over the public internet suitable for workloads under 3 Gbps per tunnel.
HA Cloud VPN is specifically designed to extend an on-premises network to Google Cloud over an IPsec connection via the public internet. Since the bandwidth requirement is 500 Mbps, it comfortably fits within the 3 Gbps per tunnel capacity limit of Cloud VPN.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze connectivity requirements
Transport must be IPsec encrypted over the public internet, supporting 500 Mbps bandwidth.
Understanding transport media and bandwidth limits dictates the appropriate hybrid networking product.
2
Evaluate Google Cloud hybrid connectivity options
HA Cloud VPN operates over the public internet using IPsec and handles up to 3 Gbps per tunnel, matching the 500 Mbps requirement.
Dedicated Interconnect is meant for high-bandwidth private connections, whereas Cloud VPN is designed for lower-bandwidth internet transport.
