Q: 11
You have numerous private virtual machines on Google Cloud. You occasionally need to manage the
servers through Secure Socket Shell (SSH) from a remote location. You want to configure remote
access to the servers in a manner that optimizes security and cost efficiency.
What should you do?

It’s C. Would the answer change if the requirement was to enable access from anywhere, not just your corporate network?
Definitely C. You get secure SSH using IAP without public IPs, so no need for a jump box or VPN setup. Pretty sure this is the most cost-effective and secure method Google recommends. Let me know if you see a downside.
Similar scenario shows up in the official guide and lab exercises, always points to C for secure remote management on Google Cloud.
Call it C is the best fit here since it uses IAP, so you don't have to expose any public IPs or set up a jump host. Keeping SSH locked down and handled via identity-based access controls is way safer and cheaper long term. I saw a similar question come up in some recent practice sets too. Anyone think there's a real advantage to D over C for this scenario?
Be respectful. No spam.
