[All Professional Cloud Network Engineer Questions]

Your company has defined a resource hierarchy that includes a parent folder with subfolders for each department. Each department defines their respective project and VPC in the assigned folder and has the appropriate permissions to create Google Cloud firewall rules. The VPCs should not allow traffic to flow between them. You need to block all traffic from any source, including other VPCs, and delegate only the intra-VPC firewall rules to the respective departments. What should you do?

  • A. Create a VPC firewall rule in each VPC to block traffic from any source, with priority 0.
  • B. Create a VPC firewall rule in each VPC to block traffic from any source, with priority 1000.
  • C. Create two hierarchical firewall policies per department's folder with two rules in each: a high-priority rule that matches traffic from the private CIDRs assigned to the respective VPC and sets the action to allow, and another lower-priority rule that blocks traffic from any other source.
  • D. Create two hierarchical firewall policies per department's folder with two rules in each: a high-priority rule that matches traffic from the private CIDRs assigned to the respective VPC and sets the action to goto_next, and another lower-priority rule that blocks traffic from any other source.

Reading it twice, I guess D is correct as "delegate only the intra-VPC firewall rules to the respective departments" matches the "goto_next" parameter and departments are in charge of the flow of traffic within the own VPC

Using goto_next in the high-priority rule would simply pass the traffic to the next rule, which would then block it. This is functionally the same as having a single "deny all" rule

changing my answer to D: The goto_next action in hierarchical firewall policies provides a powerful mechanism for delegating firewall rule evaluation while maintaining a centralized security posture. This is particularly useful in scenarios where you need to balance organizational security policies with departmental autonomy.

Answer is D: https://cloud.google.com/firewall/docs/firewall-policies "Hierarchical firewall policy rules have a new goto_next action that you can use to delegate connection evaluation to lower levels of the hierarchy" The use lower level firewall rules for Intra-VPC traffic

Selected Answer: C
While both approaches aim to allow intra-VPC communication and block inter-VPC traffic, Option C directly allows traffic within the VPCs and then blocks any other traffic explicitly, providing a more straightforward and precise policy. Option D uses "goto_next," potentially requiring an additional rule to specifically block unwanted traffic, adding complexity to the policy. Therefore, Option C is a clearer and more straightforward approach for this scenario.

Selected Answer: D
According to Google Cloud documentation, hierarchical firewall policies let you create and enforce a consistent firewall policy across your organization. You can assign hierarchical firewall policies to the organization as a whole or to individual folders. These policies contain rules that can explicitly deny or allow connections, as do Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) firewall rules. In addition, hierarchical firewall policy rules can delegate evaluation to lower-level policies or VPC network firewall rules with a goto_next action. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Create two hierarchical firewall policies per department’s folder with two rules in each: a high-priority rule that matches traffic from the private CIDRs assigned to the respective VPC and sets the action to goto_next, and another lower-priority rule that blocks traffic from any other source.

Selected Answer: C
The correct answer is C. Option A and B are incorrect because they only create firewall rules to block traffic from any source, but do not delegate intra-VPC firewall rules to the respective departments. Option D is also incorrect because the "goto_next" action would not be appropriate for a blocking rule. The correct action for a blocking rule is "deny". Option C is the correct approach. It involves creating two hierarchical firewall policies per department's folder, each with two rules. The first high-priority rule matches traffic from the private CIDRs assigned to the respective VPC and sets the action to allow. The second lower-priority rule blocks traffic from any other source. This approach allows departments to control the intra-VPC firewall rules while blocking traffic between VPCs.
