Mastering VPC Network Design in GCP

ADVANCED
180 minutes
5 tasks

In this lab, you'll explore the design and implementation of a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) on Google Cloud Platform. You'll create and configure VPC networks and subnets, implement advanced routing and access controls, and interconnect various services to build a comprehensive network architecture using Google's best practices. By completing this lab, you will enhance your skills in managing complex VPC networks and preparing them for enterprise-grade deployment.

Scenario

You are a network engineer for a multi-national corporation, responsible for designing and implementing scalable, secure, and efficient network architectures in Google Cloud. Your company is launching a new line of services that require a robust infrastructure capable of handling dynamic traffic and high availability. You must design a VPC setup that connects multiple regions, ensures secure data transport, and optimizes routing strategies to ensure low latency and fault tolerance.
