An organization needs to establish direct, low-latency private IP connectivity between two VPC networks (vpc-a and vpc-b) in Google Cloud without traversing the public internet or deploying hybrid VPN gateways. Which GCP networking configuration should be implemented to enable internal communication between resources in both VPCs?
- Establish a VPC Network Peering connection directly between vpc-a and vpc-b.Answer
- BPeer vpc-a and vpc-b to a central transit VPC network to rely on transitive routing between them.
- CDeploy a Dedicated Interconnect connection between vpc-a and vpc-b.
- DCreate a VPC Service Controls perimeter encompassing both VPC networks to automatically enable inter-VPC IP routing.
Answer
Establish a VPC Network Peering connection directly between vpc-a and vpc-b.
Establishing a direct VPC Network Peering connection enables private RFC 1918 network connectivity between both VPC networks over Google's internal network backbone without public IP routing or VPN infrastructure.
