Correct answer: Keep the existing Dedicated Interconnect. Deploy a VLAN attachment to a Cloud Router in us-east4, and deploy another VLAN attachment to a Cloud Router in us-central1..
Why this is the answer
The correct option minimizes data transfer costs by placing VLAN attachments closer to the majority of your workloads. Google Cloud charges for egress traffic from a region. By creating VLAN attachments in us-east4 and us-central1, where 75% and 25% of your workloads reside respectively, data travels over Google's private backbone for free from us-west2 to these regions, and then exits locally. The first incorrect option would incur significant cross-region egress charges from us-west2 to us-east4 and us-central1. The other incorrect options involve ordering new Dedicated Interconnects, which is unnecessary and costly, as the existing Interconnect can support multiple VLAN attachments to different regions.
