Exam Associate Cloud Engineer topic 1 question 20 discussion

I would say B is correct. RDP is enabled by default when you crate a Windows instance (no need to chek on it). Just make sure you install an RDP client ( chrome ext or RDP) and set windows password.

D seems more correct

D is correct For connecting to a SQL Server instance (which is running on a Windows Server on Google Compute Engine), using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is the standard method.

D it is the correct for me

correct answer is D

Option D is correct because it includes setting up a Windows username and password, verifying that port 3389 is open for RDP in the firewall, and then using the RDP button in the GCP Console to log in, ensuring all necessary steps for a successful connection are completed.

D ... direct connection, no client installation and simplified network configurations

This option provides a clear set of steps: you set the necessary credentials, ensure the firewall allows RDP traffic, and then use the built-in RDP feature of the GCP Console to connect directly to the instance.

Google Cloud Console provides an easy-to-use RDP button that allows you to directly connect to your instance without needing to separately install and configure an RDP client. This reduces the steps required for connection.

D is correct

Documentation says "By default, Compute Engine creates firewall rules that allow RDP access on TCP port 3389. Verify that these firewall rules exist by visiting the firewall rules page in the Google Cloud console and looking for firewall rules that allow tcp:3389 connections."

who say D, better to change to other cloud. If you click rdp button in gcp windows instance, create username and password to use in a remote desktop software. There is not one of this in gcp console. Yo need something external, like IAP Desktop or de Remote desktop programa in Windows pcs.

The following sites do not describe RDP client installation. https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/connecting-to-windows

In general, both B and D options are correct. But, as per the question we need to identify which one has a minimum number of steps involved. As per Google documents, when you create a Windows Instance, the RDP Port 3389 is enabled by default, so here we need not check for this PORT status. Therefore answer is B. Here is a reference from GCP Documents "Be sure the VM allows access through Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). By default, Compute Engine creates firewall rules that allow RDP access on TCP port 3389. Verify that these firewall rules exist by visiting the firewall rules page in the Google Cloud console and looking for firewall rules that allow tcp:3389 connections."

B + D. In B, Verify that a firewall rule for Port 3389 exists - is missing. in D, Install a RDP client in your desktop - is missing. Going with B as 3389 port should be enabled to connect to a Windows Instance. However, the step of installing the RDP client is important and by clicking on RDP button in the GCP Console will let you download the <instance name>.rdp file which is a shortcut to open the Windows VM instance using RDP / mstsc.

I would say D as the question says fewest number of steps. So three steps 1. Set a Windows username and password in the GCP Console. 2. Verify that a firewall rule for port 3389 (RDP) exists. 3. Use the RDP button in the GCP Console to connect to the instance, supplying the credentials for login. In option B it says install RDP client. Which I think not the headache of GCP if you have installed RDP or not.
