Question

Your organization's current architecture has one Shared VPC host project (SH_HOST_PRJ) that contains a single VPC (SH_VPC) and two Shared VPC service projects (SP_ONE_PRJ and SP_TWO_PRJ) that do not contain any VPCs. Each Shared VPC service project belongs to a different team: TEAM_ONE manages SP_ONE_PRJ and TEAM_TWO manages SP_TWO_PRJ. You must design a solution that allows each team to create their own DNS private zones and DNS records only in their respective Shared VPC service projects. Workloads in SP_ONE_PRJ must be able to resolve all the DNS private zones defined in SP_TWO_PRJ and conversely. Your design must have the least amount of set up effort. What should you do?

Explanation

In this scenario, using cross-project binding is the simplest and most efficient way to allow each team to create and manage their own DNS private zones while ensuring that workloads across both service projects can resolve DNS records across the Shared VPC. Cross-project binding: This feature allows private DNS zones created in the service projects (SP_ONE_PRJ and SP_TWO_PRJ) to be associated with the Shared VPC (SH_VPC) in the host project (SH_HOST_PRJ). It enables DNS queries for those zones to be resolved by workloads attached to the Shared VPC. Centralized connectivity: Since all workloads in both service projects (SP_ONE_PRJ and SP_TWO_PRJ) use the Shared VPC (SH_VPC), no additional VPCs or VPC peering setups are required, minimizing setup effort. Team independence: Each team manages their DNS private zones and records independently within their respective service projects, fulfilling the requirement for decentralization. This design achieves the desired DNS resolution while requiring the least amount of setup effort compared to solutions involving new VPCs, DNS peering, or VPC Network Peering.
