Question

Your organization has implemented Vertex AI online prediction in your Google Cloud environment, which is in the us-central1 region. Online prediction is available through private services access by using the IP CIDR range of 172.16.53.0/24. You need to configure access to Vertex AI without affecting the existing routes. You want to use the VLAN attachments that are located in the us-west1 region as primary. The interconnect VLAN attachments in the us-west2 region can only be used as a backup. What should you do?

Options

  • ACreate a custom route advertisement on VLAN attachments in the us-west1 region for prefix
  • BCreate a custom learned route on VLAN attachments in the us-west1 region for prefix
  • CCreate a custom route advertisement on VLAN attachments in the us-west1 region for prefix
  • DCreate a custom route advertisement on VLAN attachments in the us-west1 region for prefix

Explanation

To reach Vertex AI's private services access CIDR (172.16.53.0/24) without affecting existing routes, you use a custom route advertisement on the Cloud Router associated with the primary VLAN attachments (us-west1) for that specific prefix. This ensures only the targeted /24 is advertised, preserving existing route configurations. For active/primary preference via us-west1, the custom advertisement on us-west1 VLAN attachments should carry a higher priority (lower MED) than the us-west2 backup. Options A and B use incorrect mechanisms (learned routes vs. advertised routes). Option D may differ in priority or region targeting, making C the Google-recommended configuration.
