Overview

• Labs are timed and cannot be paused. The timer starts when you click Start Lab.

• The included cloud terminal is preconfigured with the gcloud SDK.

• Use the terminal to execute commands and then click Check my progress to verify your work.

Challenge scenario

As a network administrator, you have been assigned with the responsibility of connecting two Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) workspace_vpc and private_vpc in your project. This peering connection will establish a direct and secure communication pathway between the resources residing in each VPC, allowing them to interact seamlessly with each other.

Your task is :

• Create Peering connection workspace-vpc with private-vpc

• Create Peering connection private-vpc with workspace-vpc

Note: To ssh into the vm instance, run the following command:

gcloud compute ssh INSTANCE_NAME --project=PROJECT_ID --zone=INSTANCE_ZONE

When asked if you want to continue, enter Y. When prompted for a passphrase, press ENTER for no passphrase, then ENTER again.

Click Check my progress to verify the objective.
