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.

Obviously, B is not the answer because you have to install an RDP client which is an extra step. D is the answer because you can connect directly using the RDP button in the GCP console.

No, we can't connect using RDP directly in the GCP console. When we click on it, it asks us to install RDP client. So ultimately, B is more accurate.

The firewall rule for port 3389 is created by default if you create windows server on Compute Engine. So, no need to verify it. https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/connecting-to-windows#before-you-begin

In the link you provided the first step is to verify firewall rule was created, even if it is the default option!, so D is the most accurate even by the link.

I disagree. The Q says that you have just created this VM, which means the FW rules for RDP has also been created. I believe the documentations says it a bit wonky as it is something to check if things aren't working after you've done everything right, as someone could have deleted that rule if this server has been up for a while, rather than having to check this right after you've made a new VM. I'd say B is better answer than D.

You need firewall ingress rule for port 3398 in your VPC. It is not created by default.

I tested this on on Compute Engine today by deploying a new instance. D is not correct. When you click the RDP button, you are asked to install a client or use the Windows RDP client if you are running Windows. There is no option to enter credentials or get an RDP session through the web interface.

D. Set a Windows username and password in the GCP Console. Verify that a firewall rule for port 3389 exists. Click the RDP button in the GCP Console, and supply the credentials to log in. Explanation: For connecting to a SQL Server 2017 instance on Google Cloud Compute Engine using the fewest steps, you can use the RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) connection, which is supported by default for Windows instances. The steps involved include: Setting a Windows username and password: You need to specify these credentials in the GCP Console to access the instance via RDP. Verifying the firewall rule for port 3389: Port 3389 is the default RDP port, so you need to ensure the appropriate firewall rule is in place. Clicking the RDP button in the GCP Console: Once these settings are configured, you can use the RDP button in the console to connect to the instance. You'll then supply the credentials you set in the console.

D is correct because B doesn't mention *using the RDP button*, making the task less efficient. B assumes that you will be forced to implement the second task (install RDP)

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.

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.

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."
