Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer — Question 61

Your company's infrastructure is on-premises, but all machines are running at maximum capacity. You want to burst to Google Cloud. The workloads on Google
Cloud must be able to directly communicate to the workloads on-premises using a private IP range. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. In Google Cloud, configure the VPC as a host for Shared VPC.
• B. In Google Cloud, configure the VPC for VPC Network Peering.
• C. Create bastion hosts both in your on-premises environment and on Google Cloud. Configure both as proxy servers using their public IP addresses.
• D. Set up Cloud VPN between the infrastructure on-premises and Google Cloud.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because setting up Cloud VPN creates a secure connection between your on-premises infrastructure and Google Cloud, allowing for direct communication using private IP addresses. Options A and B do not facilitate private IP communication between the two environments, and option C relies on public IP addresses, which does not meet the requirement for private IP connectivity.
