A customer is running an analytics workload on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) where Compute Engine instances are accessing data stored on Cloud Storage.
Your team wants to make sure that this workload will not be able to access, or be accessed from, the internet.
Which two strategies should your team use to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

  • A. Configure Private Google Access on the Compute Engine subnet
  • B. Avoid assigning public IP addresses to the Compute Engine cluster.
  • C. Make sure that the Compute Engine cluster is running on a separate subnet.
  • D. Turn off IP forwarding on the Compute Engine instances in the cluster.

Selected Answer: AE
AE A. Configuring Private Google Access on the Compute Engine subnet: This feature enables instances without public IP addresses to connect to Google APIs and services over internal IP addresses, ensuring that the instances cannot be accessed from the internet. E. Configuring a Cloud NAT gateway: This ensures that instances within the VPC can connect to the internet, but only to specific IP ranges and ports and it also ensures that the instances cannot initiate connection to the internet. By configuring both options, you are providing your Compute Engine instances with a way to access Google services while also being isolated from the internet and that is the best way to ensure that this workload will not be able to access, or be accessed from, the internet.

Selected Answer: AB
A,B Has to be A and B together. A (Private Google Access) has minimal effect on instances with public IP so we also need to avoid assigning public IP to get the desired (internal only) effect. https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/private-google-access

NAT Gateway allows an instance to access the public internet (while not being accessible from the public internet), so it is incorrect

B and E: "make sure that this workload will not be able to access, or be accessed from, the internet." If we have cloud NAT we are able to access the internet! Also with public IP.

The question says " not be able to access, or be accessed from, the internet." A NAT gateway enables access to the internet, just behind a static IP. A. Private access for the subnet is required to enable access to GCS. B is a good measure, as then the instance cannot access the internet at all (without a NAT Gateway that is).

A_B, why not A? Private access just accepts traffic in GCP and to GG API

NOt D, because by de fault IP forwarding is disabled. You do not need to turn it off.

But not sure "Ensure that IP Forwarding feature is not enabled at the Google Compute Engine instance level for security and compliance reasons, as instances with IP Forwarding enabled act as routers/packet forwarders." IP FW is for route packets could not be D
