Question

Your organization has five different VPCs across different projects in y our Google Cloud organization that need high-throughput connectivity. You have performed an audit of the IP address utilization in each VPC, and there are two overlapping subnets that are used by two of the VPCs: 240.0.0.0/16 and 240.128.0.0/24. You have confirmed that no Class E subnets (240.0.0.0/4) will require inter-VPC connectivity, but all other subnets in the VPCs will need connectivity. You need to deploy a Google Cloud routing solution to meet the connectivity requirements. What should you do?

Explanation

The key constraint is that two VPCs have overlapping Class E subnets (240.0.0.0/16 and 240.128.0.0/24), but the organization confirmed that no Class E traffic needs inter-VPC routing. Network Connectivity Center with a mesh topology allows you to add each VPC as a spoke and selectively exclude specific subnet ranges from being advertised - meaning you can suppress the Class E subnets while still enabling connectivity for all other subnets. Option A and D (VPC Network Peering full mesh) cannot work when any subnets overlap, even if only some VPCs are affected - peering requires completely non-overlapping CIDR ranges across the entire peered pair. Option C (multi-NIC VMs) is operationally complex, does not scale well, and is not a Google-recommended routing solution for this scenario.
