You have configured a service on Google Cloud that connects to an on-premises service via a Dedicated Interconnect. Users are reporting recent connectivity issues. You need to determine whether the traffic is being dropped because of firewall rules or a routing decision. What should you do?

You are configuring a new HTTP application that will be exposed externally behind both IPv4 and IPv6 virtual IP addresses, using ports 80, 8080, and 443. You will have backends in two regions: us-west1 and us-east1. You want to serve the content with the lowest-possible latency while ensuring high availability and autoscaling, and create native content-based rules using the HTTP hostname and request path. The IP addresses of the clients that connect to the load balancer need to be visible to the backends. Which configuration should you use?

You are reviewing and tuning Secure Web Proxy at your organization, Mount Kirk Games. Users have reported that they are unable to reach the documents they need on the Terram Earth website (https://www.terramearth.com/docs/*). The Secure Web Proxy rules configuration is as follows: You need to enable access to these documents. What should you do?

You are responsible for designing a new connectivity solution for your organization's enterprise network to access and use Google Workspace. You have an existing Shared VPC with Compute Engine instances in us-west1. Currently, you access Google Workspace via your service provider's internet access. You want to set up a direct connection between your network and Google. What should you do?

You suspect that one of the virtual machines (VMs) in your default Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is under a denial-of-service attack. You need to analyze the incoming traffic for the VM to understand where the traffic is coming from. What should you do?

You are responsible for configuring firewall policies for your company in Google Cloud. Your security team has a strict set of requirements that must be met to configure firewall rules. • Always allow Secure Shell (SSH) from your corporate IP address. • Restrict SSH access from all other IP addresses. There are multiple projects and VPCs in your Google Cloud organization. You need to ensure that other VPC firewall rules cannot bypass the security team’s requirements. What should you do?

You are designing a new application that has backends internally exposed on port 800. The application will be exposed externally using both IPv4 and IPv6 via TCP on port 700. You want to ensure high availability for this application. What should you do?

You have several microservices running in a private subnet in an existing Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). You need to create additional serverless services that use Cloud Run and Cloud Functions to access the microservices. The network traffic volume between your serverless services and private microservices is low. However, each serverless service must be able to communicate with any of your microservices. You want to implement a solution that minimizes cost. What should you do?

You have provisioned a Dedicated Interconnect connection of 20 Gbps with a VLAN attachment of 10 Gbps. You recently noticed a steady increase in ingress traffic on the Interconnect connection from the on-premises data center. You need to ensure that your end users can achieve the full 20 Gbps throughput as quickly as possible. Which two methods can you use to accomplish this? (Choose two.)

Your company has a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) with two Dedicated Interconnect connections in two different regions: us-west1 and us-east1. Each Dedicated Interconnect connection is attached to a Cloud Router in its respective region by a VLAN attachment. You need to configure a high availability failover path. By default, all ingress traffic from the on-premises environment should flow to the VPC using the us-west1 connection. If us-west1 is unavailable, you want traffic to be rerouted to us-east1. How should you configure the multi-exit discriminator (MED) values to enable this failover path?

You have the following private Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster deployment: You have a virtual machine (VM) deployed in the same VPC in the subnetwork kubernetes-management with internal IP address 192.168.40 2/24 and no external IP address assigned. You need to communicate with the cluster master using kubectl. What should you do?

Your company's logo is published as an image file across multiple websites that are hosted by your company. You have implemented Cloud CDN; however, you want to improve the performance of the cache hit ratio associated with this image file. What should you do?

Your company recently migrated to Google Cloud in a single region. You configured separate Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks for two departments: Department A and Department B. Department A has requested access to resources that are part of Department B's VPC. You need to configure the traffic from private IP addresses to flow between the VPCs using multi-NIC virtual machines (VMs) to meet security requirements. Your configuration also must: • Support both TCP and UDP protocols • Provide fully automated failover • Include health-checks • Require minimal manual intervention in the client VMs Which approach should you take?

You are designing an IP address scheme for new private Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) clusters. Due to IP address exhaustion of the RFC 1918 address space in your enterprise, you plan to use privately used public IP space for the new clusters. You want to follow Google-recommended practices. What should you do after designing your IP scheme?

You want Cloud CDN to serve the https://www.example.com/images/spacetime.png static image file that is hosted in a private Cloud Storage bucket. You are using the USE_ORIGIN_HEADERS cache mode. You receive an HTTP 403 error when opening the file in your browser, and you see that the HTTP response has a Cache-Control: private, max-age=0 header. How should you correct this issue?

You are deploying an application that runs on Compute Engine instances. You need to determine how to expose your application to a new customer. You must ensure that your application meets the following requirements: • Maps multiple existing reserved external IP addresses to the instance • Processes IP Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) traffic What should you do?

Your product team has web servers running on both us-east1 and us-west1 regions in the prod-servers project. Your security team plans to install an intrusion detection system (IDS) in their own Google Cloud project to inspect the incoming network traffic. What should you do?

You are in the process of deploying an internal HTTP(S) load balancer for your web server virtual machine (VM) instances. What two prerequisite tasks must be completed before creating the load balancer? (Choose two.)

You have the networking configuration shown in the diagram. A pair of redundant Dedicated Interconnect connections (int-Iga1 and int-Iga2) terminate on the same Cloud Router. The Interconnect connections terminate on two separate on-premises routers. You are advertising the same prefixes from the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) sessions associated with the Dedicated Interconnect connections. You need to configure one connection as Active for both ingress and egress traffic. If the active Interconnect connection falls, you want the passive Interconnect connection to automatically begin routing all traffic. Which two actions should you take to meet this requirement? (Choose two.)

Your team is developing an application that will be used by consumers all over the world. Currently, the application sits behind a global external application load balancer. You need to protect the application from potential application-level attacks. What should you do?
