Network Segmentation — Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect Practice Questions

Network segmentation in GCP is the practice of dividing a Virtual Private Cloud into isolated segments to limit the blast radius of a security incident, enforce least-privilege connectivity, and meet regulatory requirements for workload isolation. The Professional Cloud Architect exam covers how to use VPC firewall rules, hierarchical firewall policies, VPC Service Controls, and Private Google Access to restrict traffic between tiers and to the public internet. Candidates should understand the differences between shared VPC and VPC peering for cross-project connectivity, and how to use network tags and service accounts as firewall rule targets. Effective segmentation requires balancing security controls with operational complexity and latency.
