Connecting Networks with Google Cloud VPN Using Static Routes

Cloud VPN allows you to connecting an on-premises network (or other external network) to a Google Cloud VPC over a secure IPSec connection for secure internal network (RFC1918) access. We will practice using the Cloud VPN service to connect two separate VPC networks to communicate over an internal IP address using static routes.
