GCP Professional Cloud Architect Practice Question

Your company has hundreds of projects under one Google Cloud organization. Security requires that no VM may connect directly to the public internet; all outbound traffic must go through an on-prem proxy reachable over Cloud VPN using a specific CIDR. Application teams still need to manage their own VPC firewall rules for east-west traffic. How can you enforce the egress restriction organization-wide while letting teams self-service other rules and keeping ops overhead low?

  • Create an organization-level hierarchical firewall policy with a top-priority rule that denies all egress to 0.0.0.0/0 (except the on-prem proxy CIDR). Allow project owners to continue managing their own VPC firewall rules for other traffic.

  • Apply the "restrict-VpcEgress" Organization Policy constraint at the organization node so that all projects inherit an egress block, and let project owners manage exceptions with custom constraints.

  • Attach a Cloud Armor security policy to each project's default external HTTP(S) load balancer that blocks all outbound traffic except to the proxy address range.

  • In the shared VPC host project, create a DENY egress firewall rule with the lowest priority and require all service projects to attach their VPC networks to the host project.
