PROFESSIONAL-CLOUD-NETWORK-ENGINEER · Question #121
Your organization has Compute Engine instances in us-east1, us-west2, and us-central1. Your organization also has an existing Cloud Interconnect physical connection in the East Coast of the United…
The correct answer is C. Configure your VPC routing in global mode. To provide high availability for multi-region Compute Engine instances accessing an on-premises network via a single Cloud Interconnect, configuring VPC routing in global mode is the most cost-effective solution.

Why each option
To provide high availability for multi-region Compute Engine instances accessing an on-premises network via a single Cloud Interconnect, configuring VPC routing in global mode is the most cost-effective solution.
Configuring VPC routing in regional mode would restrict on-premises connectivity to only the subnets within the us-east1 region, where the Cloud Interconnect resides. This fails the requirement for high availability and access to 'all your other Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) subnets' in case of a regional outage.
This choice is a duplicate of C, hence also correct in principle, but C is the specified answer.
Configuring your VPC routing in global mode is the most cost-effective way to achieve high availability and ensure all VPC subnets across us-east1, us-west2, and us-central1 can access on-premises resources via a single Cloud Interconnect in us-east1. Global routing allows routes to be exchanged between all subnets in the VPC network and the on-premises network, preventing connectivity loss to on-premises if the us-east1 region (where the Interconnect is) experiences issues, as long as other regions are available.
Configuring VPC routing in regional mode would restrict on-premises connectivity to only the subnets within the us-east1 region, meaning instances in us-west2 and us-central1 would lose connectivity to on-premises if us-east1 or the Interconnect attachment has issues, failing the high availability requirement across regions.
