Q9
Why would a Google Compute Engine VM need multiple network interfaces (multi-NIC), and what are the configuration rules?
💬Answer
A VM needs multi-NIC configurations when acting as a network virtual appliance (like firewalls, NAT gateways, or load balancers) that needs to bridge and route traffic between isolated VPC networks.
- Rules: NICs must be configured when the VM is created; each interface must connect to a different VPC network; and IP ranges cannot overlap.
