An enterprise is planning hybrid connectivity between its on-premises data center and a Google Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network to migrate internal core database workloads. The network architecture team has outlined the following specific technical constraints and requirements: The on-premises data center is located in a geographic area where the company cannot colocate physical routing equipment within a Google Cloud colocation facility. The required bandwidth between the data center and Google Cloud is 1 Gbps, with the ability to scale capacity incrementally between 50 Mbps and 5 Gbps in the future. Data exchange must use private RFC 1918 IP addresses and must not traverse the public internet. The routing topology must support dynamic route exchange using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). Which hybrid connectivity solution should you recommend to satisfy these requirements?

Provision a Partner Interconnect connection with a supported service provider using VLAN attachments and Cloud Router.: ### What Partner Interconnect is **Partner Interconnect** is a Google Cloud hybrid connectivity product that provides private, high-performance network access between an on-premises data center and Google Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks through a supported third-party service provider. ### How it meets the requirements - **No physical colocation requirement**: Partner Interconnect is specifically designed for organizations whose facilities cannot directly meet Google's network in a designated colocation facility. The enterprise connects to a supported partner, who handles the physical cross-connect to Google. - **Sub-10 Gbps flexible bandwidth**: Partner Interconnect supports sub-rate bandwidth options starting from **50 Mbps up to 50 Gbps** per VLAN attachment, fitting the 1 Gbps requirement perfectly without paying for unneeded physical 10 Gbps capacity. - **Private routing without public internet**: Traffic flows through the service provider's private circuits to Google's edge rather than traversing the public internet, enabling direct RFC 1918 communication. - **Dynamic routing**: Partner Interconnect pairs with **Cloud Router** to exchange dynamic routes using **Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)** in either Layer 2 or Layer 3 configurations. ### Key advantages and capabilities - Eliminates the need to buy and maintain routing hardware in colocation facilities. - Provides flexible bandwidth tiers from 50 Mbps up to 50 Gbps. - Offers Google-backed SLAs (99.9% or 99.99%) depending on topology redundancy. - Integrates seamlessly with **Cloud Router** for automated route propagation. ### Why this is optimal Partner Interconnect satisfies every constraint: avoiding colocation equipment, supporting 1 Gbps capacity, keeping traffic off the public internet, and providing dynamic BGP routing.

An enterprise is planning hybrid connectivity between its on-premises data center and a Google Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network to migrate internal core database workloads.

The network architecture team has outlined the following specific technical constraints and requirements:

The on-premises data center is located in a geographic area where the company cannot colocate physical routing equipment within a Google Cloud colocation facility.
The required bandwidth between the data center and Google Cloud is 1 Gbps, with the ability to scale capacity incrementally between 50 Mbps and 5 Gbps in the future.
Data exchange must use private RFC 1918 IP addresses and must not traverse the public internet.
The routing topology must support dynamic route exchange using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).

Which hybrid connectivity solution should you recommend to satisfy these requirements?

Provision a Dedicated Interconnect connection with a 10 Gbps circuit and configure dynamic routing via Cloud Router.

Deploy a High Availability (HA) Cloud VPN gateway paired with Cloud Router over an existing public internet connection.

Configure Carrier Peering with an authorized service provider to route traffic to the VPC subnets.

Provision a Partner Interconnect connection with a supported service provider using VLAN attachments and Cloud Router.
