Q#1
You are planning to use Terraform to deploy the Google Cloud infrastructure for your company The design must meet the following requirements

* Each Google Cloud project must represent an Internal project that your team Will work on

* After an internal project is finished, the infrastructure must be deleted

* Each Internal project must have Its own Google Cloud project owner to manage the Google Cloud resources-

* You have 10-100 projects deployed at a time,

While you are writing the Terraform code, you need to ensure that the deployment IS Simple, and the code IS reusable With
centralized management What should you doo

Q#2
Your organization recently re-architected your cloud environment to use Network Connectivity Center. However, an error occurred when you tried to add a new VPC named vpc-dev as a spoke. The error indicated that there was an issue with an existing spoke and the IP space of a VPC named vpc-pre-prod. You must complete the migration quickly and efficiently. What should you do?

Q#3
Your organization has a Google Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) with subnets in us-east1, us-west4, and europe-west4 that use the default VPC configuration. Employees in a branch office in Europe need to access the resources in the VPC using HA VPN. You configured the HA VPN associated with the Google Cloud VPC for your organization with a Cloud Router deployed in europe-west4. You need to ensure that the users in the branch office can quickly and easily access all resources in the VPC. What should you do?

Q#4
Your on-premises data center has 2 routers connected to your Google Cloud environment through a VPN on each router…

* Each on-premises router is configured with a unique ASN.

* Each on-premises router is configured with the same routes and priorities.

* Both on-premises routers are configured with a VPN connected to a single Cloud Router.

* BGP sessions are established between both on-premises routers and the Cloud Router.

* Only 1 of the on-premises router’s routes are being added to the routing table.

What is the most likely cause of this problem?

Q#5
You need to create the technical architecture for hybrid connectivity from your data center to Google Cloud This will be managed by a partner. You want to follow Google-recommended practices for production-level applications. What should you do?
