Google Cloud Professional Cloud Database Engineer — Question 5

You are setting up a Bare Metal Solution environment. You need to update the operating system to the latest version. You need to connect the Bare Metal Solution environment to the internet so you can receive software updates. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Setup a static external IP address in your VPC network.
• B. Set up bring your own IP (BYOIP) in your VPC.
• C. Set up a Cloud NAT gateway on the Compute Engine VM.
• D. Set up Cloud NAT service.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as setting up a Cloud NAT gateway on the Compute Engine VM allows the Bare Metal Solution environment to access the internet for software updates without needing an external IP. Option A is incorrect because a static IP alone does not facilitate internet access for the Bare Metal Solution. Option B, bring your own IP, is not necessary for internet connectivity. Option D, while related to networking, does not specifically address the connection requirement for the Bare Metal Solution environment.
