Question 1 Which configuration is necessary to establish private connectivity between an on-premises network and Google services using Private Service Connect?

Answer choices

  1. A. Configure VPC service controls
  2. B. Establish a service attachment
  3. C. Create a peering connection in the VPC
  4. D. Set up interconnects with shared VPC

Correct answer

Establish a service attachment

Service attachments are used to establish private connectivity between an on-premises network and Google services.

Wrong-answer review

  • A. Configure VPC service controls: VPC Service Controls can reduce data exfiltration risk by creating service perimeters around supported resources. The scenario is focused on network design or connectivity.
  • C. Create a peering connection in the VPC: VPC peering connects networks directly and is not the Private Service Connect producer pattern. It may be useful in another design, but it leaves this requirement unresolved.
  • D. Set up interconnects with shared VPC: Interconnect can support hybrid connectivity, but Shared VPC is not required to create the encrypted tunnel described by Cloud VPN. It addresses a different layer of the architecture than the decision being tested.

Where to go after the daily web set

How are Google Cloud Architect questions generated?

dotCreds builds Google Cloud Architect practice questions from public exam objectives and Google exam and documentation references. The questions are written for realistic study practice, not copied from exam dumps.

How are explanations sourced?

Each question includes an explanation and, when available, a source link back to the provider documentation or reference used to validate the answer. That keeps the practice tied to study material you can actually review.

What score do I get?

The page tracks today's answered count and accuracy for the 10-question daily set, then saves a 7-day score history on this device so you can see your recent practice trend.

Why use this site?

The site is the fastest way to start Google Cloud Architect practice without installing anything. It is built for daily recall, quick weak-topic discovery, and source-backed explanations you can review immediately.

Why use the app when available?

The web page is the quick daily practice layer. If a dotCreds app is available for Google Cloud Architect, the app is better for larger banks, focused weak-domain drills, longer review sessions, and mobile study routines.
