Your company is planning to set up both Production and Test environments on Google Cloud. The key requirement is that the VMs in these environments must communicate with each other using internal IPs without the need for additional routes. How should you design this solution?




Explanation:

The correct answer is B because the VMs need to communicate using private IPs, which requires them to be within the same VPC. Subnets can be in any region but must have non-overlapping CIDR ranges to avoid conflicts. This setup allows for internal communication without additional routes.

  • Option A is incorrect because overlapping CIDR ranges within the same VPC are not allowed.
  • Options C & D are incorrect because VMs in different VPCs cannot communicate using private IPs without additional configuration, such as VPC peering or VPN.
