Exam Professional Cloud Network Engineer topic 1 question 84 discussion

Actual exam question from Google's Professional Cloud Network Engineer
Question #: 84
Topic #: 1
[All Professional Cloud Network Engineer Questions]

Your organization has a new security policy that requires you to monitor all egress traffic payloads from your virtual machines in region us-west2. You deployed an intrusion detection system (IDS) virtual appliance in the same region to meet the new policy. You now need to integrate the IDS into the environment to monitor all egress traffic payloads from us-west2. What should you do?

  • A. Enable firewall logging, and forward all filtered egress firewall logs to the IDS.
  • B. Enable VPC Flow Logs. Create a sink in Cloud Logging to send filtered egress VPC Flow Logs to the IDS.
  • C. Create an internal TCP/UDP load balancer for Packet Mirroring, and add a packet mirroring policy filter for egress traffic.
  • D. Create an internal HTTP(S) load balancer for Packet Mirroring, and add a packet mirroring policy filter for egress traffic.

It must be C. IDS's cannot accept logs for analysis, they analyze packets. Traffic is not always going to be HTTP(S) and thereofre it is C for TCP proxy.

Selected Answer: B
VPC Flow Logs provide visibility into network traffic that traverses a VPC network, including traffic between VMs, traffic between VMs and Google Services, and traffic between VMs and the Internet. By enabling VPC Flow Logs and creating a sink in Cloud Logging, you can export logs to a variety of monitoring and analysis tools, including an IDS. With VPC Flow Logs, you can filter and export specific log entries based on specific attributes, including the source and destination IP addresses, ports, and protocols. In this case, you can enable VPC Flow Logs and filter for egress traffic from VMs in the us-west2 region and export them to the IDS for monitoring.

Option A is incorrect because firewall logs only show information about traffic that matches specific firewall rules, and it doesn't provide information about all egress traffic from the VMs. Option C and D are incorrect because Packet Mirroring is a method to copy traffic from a set of source VMs to a destination for packet capture and analysis. It is used for troubleshooting, forensics, and network monitoring. However, in this case, the IDS appliance should monitor all egress traffic from VMs in the us-west2 region, not just from a set of source VMs.

It is C: Because the key point is "payloads" you can only have this detail with Packet Mirroring.
