[All Google Cloud Architect Professional Questions]

Your company has just acquired another company, and you have been asked to integrate their existing Google Cloud environment into your company's data center. Upon investigation, you discover that some of the RFC 1918 IP ranges being used in the new company's Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) overlap with your data center IP space. What should you do to enable connectivity and make sure that there are no routing conflicts when connectivity is established?

ACreate a Cloud VPN connection from the new VPC to the data center, create a Cloud Router, and apply new IP addresses so there is no overlapping IP space.

BCreate a Cloud VPN connection from the new VPC to the data center, and create a Cloud NAT instance to perform NAT on the overlapping IP space.

CCreate a Cloud VPN connection from the new VPC to the data center, create a Cloud Router, and apply a custom route advertisement to block the overlapping IP space.

DCreate a Cloud VPN connection from the new VPC to the data center, and apply a firewall rule that blocks the overlapping IP space.

Suggested Answer: A

To connect two networks together we need (1) either VPN or interconnect and (2) peering. When there is peering, you cannot have conflicting IP addresses. You can use either Cloud VPN or Cloud Interconnect to securely connect your on-premises network to your VPC network. (https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/vpc-peering#transit-network) At the time of peering, Google Cloud checks to see if there are any subnet IP ranges that overlap subnet IP ranges in the other network. If there is any overlap, peering is not established. (https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/vpc-peering#considerations) NAT is used to translate private to public IP and vice versa, however because we are connecting 2 networks together, they become private IPs. So it is not applicable.
