https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2018/06/Partner-Interconnect-now-generally-available.htmlPartner Interconnect is a service provided by Google Cloud Platform (GCP) that allows organizations to connect their on-premises network to Google Cloud using a supported service provider. The connection can be used for data transfer between on-premises and Google Cloud, as well as accessing Google Cloud resources using private IP addresses.
When you have already identified and selected an Interconnect partner to work with, you should perform the following steps:
Ask your Interconnect partner to provision a physical connection to Google. This means that the partner will set up a physical link from your on-premises network to the partner's network in a Google point of presence (POP). This physical link is commonly referred to as a "dedicated circuit."
Once the physical connection is provisioned, you need to create a Partner Interconnect VLAN attachment in the GCP Console. This attachment specifies the VLAN ID and bandwidth for the connection.
Retrieve the pairing key from the GCP Console. This key is used to authenticate the connection between the on-premises network and the Google Cloud VPC.
Provide the pairing key to your Interconnect partner. They will use it to configure the connection on their end.
Log in to your partner's portal and request the VLAN attachment there. This step may vary depending on your partner's specific requirements, but it is typically required to complete the connection.
It is important to note that some steps may vary depending on your specific requirements and Interconnect partner. However, following these general steps should help you establish a Partner Interconnect connection between your on-premises network and Google Cloud.
Option A is incorrect because requesting the VLAN attachment in your partner's portal is a later step in the process. Option B is partially correct but not the first step, as it comes after the physical connection is provisioned. Option C is correct in its general approach, but the order of steps is incorrect, as the VLAN attachment is created after the physical connection is provisioned. Option D is incorrect, as it uses the gcloud command-line tool to update the attachment, but the first step should be requesting the Interconnect partner to provision the physical connection.
