(Your company is migrating its workloads to Google Cloud due to an expiring data center contract. The on-premises environment and Google Cloud are not connected. You have decided to follow a lift-and-shift approach, and you plan to modernize the workloads in a future project. Several old applications connect to each other through hard-coded internal IP addresses. You want to migrate these workloads quickly without modifying the application code. You also want to maintain all functionality. What should you do?)

Options:

A.

Create a VPC with non-overlapping CIDR ranges compared to your on-premises network. When migrating individual workloads, assign each workload a new static internal IP address.

B.

Migrate your DNS server first. Configure Cloud DNS with a forwarding zone to your migrated DNS server. Then migrate all other workloads with ephemeral internal IP addresses.

C.

Migrate all workloads to a single VPC subnet. Configure Cloud NAT for the subnet and manually assign a static IP address to the Cloud NAT gateway.

D.

Create a VPC with the same CIDR ranges as your on-premises network. When migrating individual workloads, assign each workload the same static internal IP address.

Your company is moving its entire workload to Compute Engine. Some servers should be accessible through the Internet, and other servers should only be accessible over the internal network. All servers need to be able to talk to each other over specific ports and protocols. The current on-premises network relies on a demilitarized zone (DMZ) for the public servers and a Local Area Network (LAN) for the private servers. You need to design the networking infrastructure on

Google Cloud to match these requirements. What should you do?

Options:

A.

1. Create a single VPC with a subnet for the DMZ and a subnet for the LAN. 2. Set up firewall rules to open up relevant traffic between the DMZ and the LAN subnets, and another firewall rule to allow public ingress traffic for the DMZ.

B.

1. Create a single VPC with a subnet for the DMZ and a subnet for the LAN. 2. Set up firewall rules to open up relevant traffic between the DMZ and the LAN subnets, and another firewall rule to allow public egress traffic for the DMZ.

C.

1. Create a VPC with a subnet for the DMZ and another VPC with a subnet for the LAN. 2. Set up firewall rules to open up relevant traffic between the DMZ and the LAN subnets, and another firewall rule to allow public ingress traffic for the DMZ.

D.

1. Create a VPC with a subnet for the DMZ and another VPC with a subnet for the LAN. 2. Set up firewall rules to open up relevant traffic between the DMZ and the LAN subnets, and another firewall rule to allow public egress traffic for the DMZ.
