You have an internal application running on Compute Engine instances in a VPC. You want to expose this application to another VPC in a different GCP project owned by a different department, without using external IP addresses or VPC peering (due to overlapping IP ranges). What is the BEST solution?

Answer options:

Shared VPC

Cloud VPN

Private Service Connect

Cloud NAT

How to approach this question

Identify the service designed for sharing services across VPCs without peering or routing conflicts.

Full Answer

C.Private Service Connect✓ Correct

Private Service Connect

Private Service Connect (PSC) allows you to consume services across different VPC networks and organizations securely. It uses endpoints (internal IPs) in the consumer VPC that map to the producer service. Because it uses NAT under the hood, it completely bypasses issues with overlapping IP ranges that prevent VPC Peering or VPNs from working.

Common mistakes

Choosing VPC Peering, ignoring the constraint that the IP ranges overlap.
