Google Cloud Certified – Professional Cloud Network Engineer Practice Exam (25 Q)

(v2020-02-27)

QUESTION 1

Your organization is deploying a single project for 3 separate departments.
Two of these departments require network connectivity between each other, but the third department should remain in isolation.
Your design should create separate network administrative domains between these departments.
You want to minimize operational overhead.
How should you design the topology ?

  • A. Create a Shared VPC Host Project and the respective Service Projects for each of the 3 separate departments.
  • B. Create 3 separate VPCs, and use Google Cloud VPN to establish connectivity between the two appropriate VPCs.
  • C. Create 3 separate VPCs, and use VPC peering to establish connectivity between the two appropriate VPCs.
  • D. Create a single project, and deploy specific firewall rules. Use network tags to isolate access between the departments.

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:
Use Shared VPC to connect to a common VPC network. Resources in those projects can communicate with each other securely and efficiently across project boundaries using internal IPs. You can manage shared network resources, such as subnets, routes, and firewalls, from a central host project, enabling you to apply and enforce consistent network policies across the projects.
With Shared VPC and IAM controls, you can separate network administration from project administration. This separation helps you implement the principle of least privilege. For example, a centralized network team can administer the network without having any permissions into the participating projects. Similarly, the project admins can manage their project resources without any permissions to manipulate the shared network.

QUESTION 2

You are using a third-party next-generation firewall to inspect traffic.
You created a custom route of 0.0.0.0/0 to route egress traffic to the firewall. You want to allow your VPC instances without public IP addresses to access the Google BigQuery and Google Cloud Pub/Sub APIs, without sending the traffic through the firewall.
Which two actions should you take? (Choose two.)

  • A. Turn on Private Google Access at the subnet level.
  • B. Turn on Private Google Access at the VPC level.
  • C. Turn on Private Services Access at the VPC level.
  • D. Create a set of custom static routes to send traffic to the external IP addresses of Google APIs and services via the default internet gateway.
  • E. Create a set of custom static routes to send traffic to the internal IP addresses of Google APIs and services via the default internet gateway.

Correct Answer: C, E

QUESTION 3

All the instances in your project are configured with the custom metadata enable-oslogin value set to FALSE and to block project-wide SSH keys.
None of the instances are set with any SSH key, and no project-wide SSH keys have been configured.
Firewall rules are set up to allow SSH sessions from any IP address range. You want to SSH into one instance.
What should you do ?

  • A. Open the Google Cloud Shell SSH into the instance using gcloud compute ssh.
  • B. Set the custom metadata enable-oslogin to TRUE, and SSH into the instance using a third-party tool like putty or ssh.
  • C. Generate a new SSH key pair. Verify the format of the private key and add it to the instance. SSH into the instance using a third-party tool like putty or ssh.
  • D. Generate a new SSH key pair. Verify the format of the public key and add it to the project. SSH into the instance using a third-party tool like putty or ssh.

QUESTION 7

Your company just completed the acquisition of Altostrat (a current Google Cloud Platform (GCP) customer).
Each company has a separate organization in GCP and has implemented a custom DNS solution.
Each organization will retain its current domain and host names until after a full transition and architectural review is done in one year.
These are the assumptions for both GCP environments.

  • Each organization has enabled full connectivity between all of its projects by using Shared VPC.
  • Both organizations strictly use the 10.0.0.0/8 address space for their instances, except for bastion hosts (for accessing the instances) and load balancers for serving web traffic.
  • There are no prefix overlaps between the two organizations.
  • Both organizations already have firewall rules that allow all inbound and outbound traffic from the 10.0.0.0/8 address space.
  • Neither organization has Interconnects to their on-premises environment.

You want to integrate networking and DNS infrastructure of both organizations as quickly as possible and with minimal downtime.
Which two steps should you take ? (Choose two.)

  • A. Provision Cloud Interconnect to connect both organizations together.
  • B. Set up some variant of DNS forwarding and zone transfers in each organization.

QUESTION 8

Your on-premises data center has 2 routers connected to your Google Cloud environment through a VPN on each router.
All applications are working correctly; however, all of the traffic is passing across a single VPN instead of being load-balanced across the 2 connections as desired.
During troubleshooting you find:

  • Each on-premises router is configured with a unique ASN.
  • Each on-premises router is configured with the same routes and priorities.
  • Both on-premises routers are configured with a VPN connected to a single Google Cloud Router.
  • BGP sessions are established between both on-premises routers and the Google Cloud Router.

QUESTION 10

Your company’s web server administrator is migrating on-premises backend servers for an application to Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Libraries and configurations differ significantly across these backend servers.

You want to use a GCP-native solution when possible.
How should you deploy this service in GCP ?

  • A. Create a managed instance group from one of the images of the on-premises servers, and link this instance group to a target pool behind your load balancer.
  • B. Create a target pool, add all backend instances to this target pool, and deploy the target pool behind your load balancer.
  • C. Deploy a third-party virtual appliance as frontend to these servers that will accommodate the significant differences between these backend servers.
