PROFESSIONAL-CLOUD-NETWORK-ENGINEER · Question #186
You are designing a new network infrastructure for your customer in Google Cloud. Your customer requires a connection between two Google Cloud VPCs that must include a VPN tunnel. You want to follow…
The correct answer is D. Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)-based VPN using HA VPN between the two Google Cloud VPCs. For maximum availability and Google-recommended practices when connecting two Google Cloud VPCs via a VPN tunnel, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)-based routing with HA VPN should be chosen.

Why each option
For maximum availability and Google-recommended practices when connecting two Google Cloud VPCs via a VPN tunnel, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)-based routing with HA VPN should be chosen.
Policy-based VPN using Classic VPN is a single-tunnel, non-HA solution that lacks automatic failover and does not meet the "maximum availability" requirement.
BGP-based VPN using Classic VPN is not a native Google Cloud offering; Classic VPN primarily supports static (route-based or policy-based) routing, and by itself, a Classic VPN tunnel is not highly available.
Route-based VPN using Classic VPN is a single-tunnel, non-HA solution that relies on static routes and does not provide automatic failover, thus failing to meet the "maximum availability" requirement.
HA VPN is Google Cloud's highly available VPN solution, offering 99.99% uptime with dual tunnels and interfaces, and it inherently uses BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) for dynamic routing to ensure automatic failover and maximum availability between the two Google Cloud VPCs.
