Not D here-enabling Flow Logs is good for traffic analysis, but C directly checks network paths for misconfigurations in real-time. Connectivity Tests flag routing/firewall issues fast. Think C is the move, unless I'm missing something subtle.
Option D is the way to go. Had something like this in a mock and Google recommends using DNS Server Policies for hybrid environments, not just private zones or forwarding. The 35.199.192.0/19 range is used by Cloud DNS forwarding proxies, so the firewall rule has to allow that, not just your instance subnet. Pretty sure this lines up with real-world GCP setups but let me know if you disagree.
Choosing A lets you centralize DNS resolution using the hub’s forwarding and peering zones, so spokes don’t need their own VPNs. That lines up with Google’s best practices for keeping things simple and scalable. The others add extra complexity that isn't called for here, I think. Anyone see a reason it couldn’t just be A?
Seen similar on practice exams. Pretty sure A fits Google best practices since it centralizes DNS forwarding in the hub and avoids building more VPNs than needed. The private peering zone lets the spokes use the hub for resolution. Could be missing a detail but I think A covers both DNS and network simplicity.
B and C are needed. You have to set up firewall rules for the health checks so Google can probe your VMs, and you need a static internal IP reserved before actually creating the LB resource. The region/subnet stuff is picked during setup, not before. Pretty sure about this but open to corrections if I missed something.
Likely B. Private Service Connect lets you route just Cloud Storage over your Interconnect, leaving everything else on public internet, exactly as the scenario says. D would lock down all Google APIs, which isn't asked here. Pretty sure about B unless I missed some edge case-let me know if you see it differently.
Probably B here, but does "must be able to send traffic" mean it's a hard compliance requirement for Cloud Storage only? If they needed private access for all Google APIs, that would point elsewhere.
