Question

Your finance team flags an unexpected spike in inter-region and internet egress charges. You need to visually identify which specific VM instances and services are generating the highest volume of cross-region and external traffic over the past several weeks, along with the associated throughput and packet-loss metrics for each traffic flow. Which Network Intelligence Center capability should you use?

Accepted Answer

Network Topology, which renders the deployment as a graph and overlays real traffic volume, throughput, and latency metrics between entities

Answer

Connectivity Tests, which simulate a packet's path between a source and destination to verify reachability

Answer

Firewall Insights, which reports on shadowed rules and allow/deny hit counts for firewall policies

Answer

Performance Dashboard, which shows Google-wide and project-level packet loss and latency between zones
