Configuring access and security

Your organization runs workloads on Compute Engine as well as on-premises, and your Google Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is connected to your on-premises WAN via a Virtual Private Network (VPN). You need to deploy a new Compute Engine instance while ensuring that no public Internet traffic can be routed to it. What should you do?

Explanation

Compute Engine instances only become reachable from the public Internet when they are assigned an external (public) IP address. By provisioning the instance with only an internal IP address, it cannot receive inbound traffic from the Internet, while it remains reachable from on-premises networks and other VPC resources through the existing VPN connection and internal routing. This approach directly satisfies the requirement of blocking public Internet access without disrupting private connectivity over the VPN tunnel.
