Question 35

Question

Your team needs to configure their Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environment so they can centralize
the control over networking resources like firewall rules, subnets, and routes. They also have an on-
premises environment where resources need access back to the GCP resources through a private
VPN connection. The networking resources will need to be controlled by the network security team.
Which type of networking design should your team use to meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Shared VPC Network with a host project and service projects

Liam U. · Answer

Option A, not C. Peering (C) won't centralize network control the way Shared VPC does.

Alex N. · Answer

B

PiyaY · Answer

Hmm, I think B makes sense here. If you grant Compute Admin to the networking team in each project, they'd be able to handle firewall rules and networking resources for those projects. Maybe I'm missing something but looks like it checks out. Open to corrections.

Ravi U. · Answer

A tbh, GCP loves pushing Shared VPC for centralized control. Those peering setups (like C) get clunky fast and don't give the network team enough control over firewall rules. This is basically what Google says on their exams, too.

Taylor Z. · Answer

Nah, I'm pretty sure it's A. Shared VPC lets the network team centrally manage things like firewalls and routes across projects, which you can't do as easily with peering (option C is a common trap here). Makes sense with the scenario, right?
