Your company just completed the acquisition of Altostrat (a current 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.

After a network change window one of your company’s applications stops working. The application uses an on-premises database server that no longer receives any traffic from the application. The database server IP address is 10.2.1.25. You examine the change request, and the only change is that 3 additional VPC subnets were created. The new VPC subnets created are 10.1.0.0/16, 10.2.0.0/16, and 10.3.1.0/24/ The on-premises router is advertising 10.0.0.0/8.

You manage two VPCs: VPC1 and VPC2, each with resources spread across two regions. You connected the VPCs with HA VPN in both regions to ensure redundancy. You’ve observed that when one VPN gateway fails, workloads that are located within the same region but different VPCs lose communication with each other. After further debugging, you notice that VMs in VPC2 receive traffic but their replies never get to the VMs in VPC1. You need to quickly fix the issue. What should you do?

Your on-premises data center has 2 routers connected to your GCP 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 the same 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 Cloud Router.

You are designing a hybrid cloud environment for your organization. Your Google Cloud environment is interconnected with your on-premises network using Cloud HA VPN and Cloud Router. The Cloud Router is configured with the default settings. Your on-premises DNS server is located at 192.168.20.88 and is protected by a firewall, and your Compute Engine resources are located at 10.204.0.0/24. Your Compute Engine resources need to resolve on-premises private hostnames using the domain corp.altostrat.com while still resolving Google Cloud hostnames. You want to follow Google-recommended practices. What should you do?
Question:
Your organization has distributed geographic applications with significant data volumes. You need to create a design that exposes the HTTPS workloads globally and keeps traffic costs to a minimum. What should you do?
You are troubleshooting an application in your organization's Google Cloud network that is not functioning as expected. You suspect that packets are getting lost somewhere. The application sends packets intermittently at a low volume from a Compute Engine VM to a destination on your on-premises network through a pair of Cloud Interconnect VLAN attachments. You validated that the Cloud Next Generation Firewall (Cloud NGFW) rules do not have any deny statements blocking egress traffic, and you do not have any explicit allow rules. Following Google-recommended practices, you need to analyze the flow to see if packets are being sent correctly out of the VM to isolate the issue. What should you do?
You recently configured Google Cloud Armor security policies to manage traffic to your application. You discover that Google Cloud Armor is incorrectly blocking some traffic to your application. You need to identity the web application firewall (WAF) rule that is incorrectly blocking traffic. What should you do?
Your organization uses a hub-and-spoke architecture with critical Compute Engine instances in your Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). You are responsible for the design of Cloud DNS in Google Cloud. You need to be able to resolve Cloud DNS private zones from your on-premises data center and enable on-premises name resolution from your hub-and-spoke VPC design. What should you do?
Your company’s Google Cloud-deployed, streaming application supports multiple languages. The application development team has asked you how they should support splitting audio and video traffic to different backend Google Cloud storage buckets. They want to use URL maps and minimize operational overhead. They are currently using the following directory structure:
/fr/video
/en/video
/es/video
/../video
/fr/audio
/en/audio
/es/audio
/../audio
Which solution should you recommend?
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?
You are using a 10-Gbps direct peering connection to Google together with the gsutil tool to upload files to Cloud Storage buckets from on-premises servers. The on-premises servers are 100 milliseconds away from the Google peering point. You notice that your uploads are not using the full 10-Gbps bandwidth available to you. You want to optimize the bandwidth utilization of the connection.
What should you do on your on-premises servers?
