Question

You are configuring a Cross-Cloud Interconnect connection for your Google Cloud organization with two public cloud service providers (CSPs)-CSP 1 and CSP 2. The CSP 1 and CSP 2 environments are closest to Frankfurt, Germany. You can choose between two common colocation locations, Frankfurt and Munich. Your organization's Google Cloud infrastructure is deployed in the North American region, us-east4, which is located in Virginia, USA. The VPC dynamic routing mode has been set to GLOBAL. Your organization requires 20 Gbps of protected bandwidth with a 99.9% Google Cloud SLA. You want to minimize costs where possible. What should you do?

Options

  • A
    1. Create two Cross-Cloud Interconnect connections to CSP 1, with 40 Gbps of total bandwidth

Explanation

This setup satisfies the organization's requirements while minimizing costs: 1. Bandwidth and SLA: - A total of 20 Gbps of protected bandwidth is required, which means you need redundant Cross- Cloud Interconnects. - Each interconnect in a zone is provisioned for 10 Gbps, ensuring that both zone 1 and zone 2 connections in Frankfurt together provide the required bandwidth while meeting the 99.9% SLA with redundancy. 2. Cost-efficiency: - Deploying the Cross-Cloud Interconnect connections in Frankfurt (the closest location to the CSPs) minimizes latency and avoids unnecessary costs associated with using additional colocation facilities like Munich. - Using 10 Gbps connections in two zones for each CSP balances performance and cost. 3. Cloud Router configuration: - Deploying the Cloud Router in europe-west3 (Frankfurt) ensures the routes for VLAN attachments are appropriately managed within the region close to the CSPs. The global dynamic routing mode allows connectivity between the us-east4 resources and the CSPs without requiring Cloud Router placement in the us-east4 region.
