GCP Professional Cloud Architect Practice Question
A latency-critical match-making service runs in a GKE cluster in us-central1. The Chicago on-prem data center currently exchanges 8 Gbps bidirectional traffic with the cluster and must reach 20 Gbps within six months. Company policy forbids sending this traffic over the public internet, and engineers need dynamic route propagation as pods scale. Chicago is an approved Dedicated Interconnect site. Which connectivity design meets these needs while minimizing ongoing egress costs?
Order one 100 Gbps Dedicated Interconnect circuit at the Chicago site and configure static routes between on-premises routers and the VPC.
Provision two 10 Gbps Partner Interconnect VLAN attachments in the same provider POP and link them to one Cloud Router for dynamic routing.
Establish two 10 Gbps Dedicated Interconnect connections in separate edge availability domains at the Chicago colocation, aggregate them in a Link Aggregation Group, and attach a Cloud Router to each connection for BGP route exchange.
Create High Availability Cloud VPN tunnels over dual 10 Gbps ISP circuits to two VPN gateways in us-central1 and use a single Cloud Router for dynamic routing.
Dedicated Interconnect delivers private, low-latency links that do not traverse the public internet and is priced lower per-GB than Partner Interconnect or VPN. Two 10 Gbps circuits placed in separate edge availability domains satisfy the 20 Gbps growth target and Google high-availability guidance while avoiding the over-provisioning cost of a single 100 Gbps link. Attaching a Cloud Router to each circuit enables BGP so routes to new GKE pods propagate automatically. VPN alternatives violate the no-internet policy, and Partner Interconnect through a single POP is less resilient and typically more expensive.
