Domain 2: Managing and Provisioning a Solution Infrastructure — GCP PCA Practice Question 40

How to approach this question

Compare VPN (internet-based, fast setup, lower bandwidth) with Interconnect (physical link, slow setup, high bandwidth, low latency).

Full Answer

Cloud VPN uses IPsec to encrypt traffic over the public internet. It is fast to provision but subject to internet latency. Dedicated Interconnect is a physical connection between your on-prem network and Google's edge. It offers massive bandwidth (up to 100 Gbps) and consistent low latency, but takes time to physically provision. Note that Interconnect traffic is not encrypted by default.

Common mistakes

Assuming Interconnect is encrypted by default (D). Because it's a private physical link, GCP doesn't encrypt it by default. You must add encryption if compliance requires it.
