GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer Practice Question

Your company has several Google Cloud projects grouped under a Dev folder. A new compliance control states that every VPC in that folder must deny all egress traffic by default, permit only HTTPS access to *.gcr.io and metadata.googleapis.com for image pulls and OS updates, and automatically block any connection whose destination IP appears on Google-maintained threat-intelligence lists. What is the most efficient way to meet these requirements with minimal ongoing operational effort?

  • Create a global Cloud NGFW policy and attach it to the Dev folder; set the default egress action to deny, add FQDN allow rules for *.gcr.io and metadata.googleapis.com, and enable Threat Intelligence blocking in the same policy.

  • Enable Identity-Aware Proxy for all workloads and create a VPC Service Controls perimeter that only allows access to gcr.io; rely on these services to satisfy the new egress restrictions.

  • Configure identical VPC firewall rules in every project: one egress deny rule for 0.0.0.0/0, two allow rules for the required domains, and apply Cloud Armor security policies to each VM to block malicious IPs.

  • Deploy a shared VPC with a Cloud NAT gateway restricted to port 443 and use Cloud DNS policies to block unwanted domains while relying on default VPC firewall rules for egress control.
