Google Cloud Professional Cloud Network Engineer — Question 45

Your company is working with a partner to provide a solution for a customer. Both your company and the partner organization are using GCP. There are applications in the partner's network that need access to some resources in your company's VPC. There is no CIDR overlap between the VPCs.
Which two solutions can you implement to achieve the desired results without compromising the security? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. VPC peering
• B. Shared VPC
• C. Cloud VPN
• D. Dedicated Interconnect
• E. Cloud NAT

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

VPC peering allows direct communication between two VPC networks without exposing traffic to the public internet, making it a secure option. Cloud VPN creates a secure tunnel between the two networks, also ensuring that data remains protected. Shared VPC and Dedicated Interconnect do not provide the necessary direct access for the partner's applications, while Cloud NAT is primarily used for outbound internet access rather than inter-VPC communication.
