In this lab, you will set up a VPC network with complex routing strategies and advanced security measures appropriate for an enterprise-scale environment within GCP. You will learn to configure subnets, enable Private Google Access, implement Cloud NAT and hierarchical firewall policies, and apply routing strategies using tags. The lab will detail the integration of dynamic and policy-based routing, alongside implementing a Cloud Next Generation Firewall for enhanced security controls. You will also explore network optimization techniques suited to a professional-level network engineer’s responsibilities.
A multinational corporation, TechGlobal Corp., is expanding its services across different continents and aims to set up a scalable and secure networking architecture in the cloud. The company requires a VPC network in GCP that supports dynamic routing across regions and enforces strict security measures using advanced firewall policies. Additionally, the organization wants to ensure private connectivity for its resources to Google APIs and manage route propagation effectively across multiple networking environments. This lab provides an opportunity to tackle these challenges as part of TechGlobal's IT team.
