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

You work for a company that is migrating its on-premises application to Google Cloud. The application consists of several components that require different network configurations for optimal performance and security. You need to deploy a VM instance with multiple network interfaces to facilitate communication across these different network segments.

You decide to create a VM instance with multiple network interfaces, each connected to a different subnet within the different VPC networks. This configuration allows the VM to communicate efficiently with various components of the application ecosystem.

You have already configured with pre-created VPC networks and their subnetworks:

• VPC network 1: my-vpc1

  • Subnetwork: subnet-a

• VPC network 2: my-vpc2

  • Subnetwork: subnet-b

Click Check my progress to verify the objective.

Create a VM Instance with Multiple Network Interfaces.
