You are configuring an HA VPN connection between your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and on-premises network. The VPN gateway is named VPN_GATEWAY_1. You need to restrict VPN tunnels created in the project to only connect to your on-premises VPN public IP address: 203.0.113.1/32. What should you do?

A. Configure a firewall rule accepting 203.0.113.1/32, and set a target tag equal to VPN_GATEWAY_1.
B. Configure the Resource Manager constraint constraints/compute.restrictVpnPeerIPs to use an allowList consisting of only the 203.0.113.1/32 address.
C. Configure a Google Cloud Armor security policy, and create a policy rule to allow 203.0.113.1/32.
D. Configure an access control list on the peer VPN gateway to deny all traffic except 203.0.113.1/32, and attach it to the primary external interface.

Your company has recently installed a Cloud VPN tunnel between your on-premises data center and your Google Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). You need to configure access to the Cloud Functions API for your on-premises servers. The configuration must meet the following requirements:

• Certain data must stay in the project where it is stored and not be exfiltrated to other projects.
• Traffic from servers in your data center with RFC 1918 addresses do not use the internet to access Google Cloud APIs.
• All DNS resolution must be done on-premises.
• The solution should only provide access to APIs that are compatible with VPC Service Controls.

What should you do?

A. 1. Create an A record for private.googleapis.com using the 199.36.153.8/30 address range.
2. Create a CNAME record for *.googleapis.com that points to the A record.
3. Configure your on-premises routers to use the Cloud VPN tunnel as the next hop for the addresses you used in the A record.
4. Remove the default internet gateway from the VPC where your Cloud VPN tunnel terminates.
B. 1. Create an A record for restricted.googleapis.com using the 199.36.153.4/30 address range.
2. Create a CNAME record for *.googleapis.com that points to the A record.
3. Configure your on-premises routers to use the Cloud VPN tunnel as the next hop for the addresses you used in the A record.
4. Configure your on-premises firewalls to allow traffic to the restricted.googleapis.com addresses.
C. 1. Create an A record for restricted.googleapis.com using the 199.36.153.4/30 address range.
2. Create a CNAME record for *.googleapis.com that points to the A record.
3. Configure your on-premises routers to use the Cloud VPN tunnel as the next hop for the addresses you used in the A record.
4. Remove the default internet gateway from the VPC where your Cloud VPN tunnel terminates.
D. 1. Create an A record for private.googleapis.com using the 199.36.153.8/30 address range.
2. Create a CNAME record for *.googleapis.com that points to the A record.
3. Configure your on-premises routers to use the Cloud VPN tunnel as the next hop for the addresses you used in the A record.
4. Configure your on-premises firewalls to allow traffic to the private.googleapis.com addresses.

You need to configure a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster. The initial deployment should have 5 nodes with the potential to scale to 10 nodes. The maximum number of Pods per node is 8. The number of services could grow from 100 to up to 1024. How should you design the IP schema to optimally meet this requirement?

A. Configure a /28 primary IP address range for the node IP addresses. Configure a /25 secondary IP range for the Pods. Configure a /22 secondary IP range for the Services.
B. Configure a /28 primary IP address range for the node IP addresses. Configure a /25 secondary IP range for the Pods. Configure a /21 secondary IP range for the Services.
C. Configure a /28 primary IP address range for the node IP addresses. Configure a /28 secondary IP range for the Pods. Configure a /21 secondary IP range for the Services.
D. Configure a /28 primary IP address range for the node IP addresses. Configure a /24 secondary IP range for the Pads. Configure a /22 secondary IP range for the Services.

You are migrating a three-tier application architecture from on-premises to Google Cloud. As a first step in the migration, you want to create a new Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) with an external HTTP(S) load balancer. This load balancer will forward traffic back to the on-premises compute resources that run the presentation tier. You need to stop malicious traffic from entering your VPC and consuming resources at the edge, so you must configure this policy to filter IP addresses and stop cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. What should you do?

A. Create a Google Cloud Armor policy, and apply it to a backend service that uses an unmanaged instance group backend.
B. Create a hierarchical firewall ruleset, and apply it to the VPC’s parent organization resource node.
C. Create a Google Cloud Armor policy, and apply it to a backend service that uses an internet network endpoint group (NEG) backend.
D. Create a VPC firewall ruleset, and apply it to all instances in unmanaged instance groups.
