CCoE training

21.Your company’s finance team needs to back up data on a Cloud Storage bucket for disaster recovery purposes. You want to comply with Google’s recommended practices in implementing the solution for this task.

Which storage class do you think would be the best option?

• Coldline Storage

• Archive Storage

• Nearline Storage

• Multi-Regional Storage

22.You are managing your company’s cloud resources that are residing in multiple GCP projects. You are tasked to set up centralized monitoring of all the CPU, memory, and disk metrics of your resources. You want to follow Google’s recommended best practices.

What should you do?

• Create an export sink on each project. Export the logs on a single BigQuery dataset.

• • Configure Metrics Scope in Cloud Monitoring. Create a new scoping project and include all GCP Projects for monitoring.

• • Deploy a Cloud Monitoring agent on all projects to collect metrics. Create an application that consumes and presents these metrics.

• • Enable Cloud Monitoring on all projects to monitor all resources. Create a custom application that processes metrics from Cloud Monitoring.

23.You are training four newly hired junior cloud engineers in your company. Part of their training is to familiarize themselves with Cloud Spanner. You need to provide access to these four users to view and edit table information on a Cloud Spanner instance found in the test project.

What should you do?

• • Using the gcloud tool, execute the gcloud iam roles describe roles/spanner.viewer --project my-project command on Cloud Shell. Attach the users to a newly created Google group and add the group to the role.

• • Using the gcloud tool, execute the gcloud iam roles describe roles/spanner.databaseUser command on Cloud Shell. Attach the users to the role.

• • Using the gcloud tool, execute the gcloud iam roles describe roles/spanner.databaseUser command on Cloud Shell. Attach the users to a newly created Google group and add the group to the role.

• • Using the gcloud tool, execute the gcloud iam roles describe roles/spanner.viewer --project my-project command on Cloud Shell. Attach the users to the role.

24.You built an application and deployed it to the Google Cloud Platform. This application needs to connect to a licensing server that you plan to host on Compute Engine. You configure the application to connect to the licensing server on the 10.146.0.17 IP address. You intend to keep this setting intact to avoid manually reconfiguring the application.

What should you do?

• Start the licensing server with an automatically generated ephemeral IP address. Afterward, promote it to a static external IP address set to 10.0.146.0.17.

• Do not assign an IP while creating the licensing server on Compute Engine to automatically get an ephemeral internal IP address.

• Using the Cloud Console, create a Compute Engine instance. Configure the External IP as a static IP address and set it to 10.146.0.17.

• Using the Cloud Console, create a Compute Engine instance. Configure the Primary internal IP as a static internal IP address and set it to 10.146.0.17.

25.You have installed the gcloud command-line interface (CLI) on your windows machine and have successfully authenticated it with your corporate Google Account. You are working on a project in which resources are mostly deployed in asia-southeast1-a zone. You want to deploy instances on this region but you don’t want to define its zone every time you run a gcloud command.

What should you do?

• On your CLI, set the default compute zone by running the gcloud init command.

• • On your CLI, set the asia-southeast1-a as the default compute zone by using the gcloud config set zone ZONE command.

• • On your CLI, set the asia-southeast1-a as the default compute zone by using the gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE command.

• On your Windows machine, go to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc directory. Open your host file and add this line: asia-southeast1-a compute/zone.

26.Your company uses Cloud Storage to store all of its application files where objects are written once and are stored for processing. The objects are frequently accessed for a month (30 days) and are rarely accessed for the entire year. These objects must be archived for three years. The Object Lifecycle Management on the Cloud Storage bucket must be configured to minimize the storage costs.

What should you do?

• Create a policy that uses Standard storage for 30 days. Move the objects to Coldline for one year and afterward, transition the objects to Archive storage for two years.

• Create a policy that uses Nearline Storage for 30 days. Move the objects to Archive storage for three years.

• Create a policy that uses Standard storage for 30 days. Move the objects to Archive storage for three years.

• Create a policy that uses Nearline storage for 30 days. Move the objects to Coldline for one year, and then transition to Archive storage for two years.

27.Your company wants to review the IAM users and roles assigned on a specific Google Cloud project named finance-project.

What should you do to fulfill this requirement?

• Using the Cloud Console, navigate to the finance-project, and go to the Roles section. From there, review the Roles and Status of the project.

• • Use the Cloud Shell to run the gcloud iam service-accounts list command and then review the output.

• Set up the Cloud SDK to run the gcloud iam roles list command and review the output.

• Using the Cloud Console, navigate to the finance-project, and go to the IAM section. Under the 'Permissions' tab, review the Members and Roles section.

28.Your team is developing a new mobile application for your company and you are working on a tight timeline. You want to use Jenkins as your CI/CD solution for your application and you need to deploy this solution as quickly as possible.

What should you do?

• Go to Google Cloud Marketplace in the GCP console and search for Jenkins. Select and configure the appropriate Jenkins solution.

• Deploy a new Compute Engine instance. Download and execute the Jenkins installer.

• Deploy a new Kubernetes Engine cluster. Use kubectl to create deployment using Jenkins docker image.

• Create an instance template with the Jenkins installation script as a startup script. Use the template to launch a managed instance group.

29.A company has an application that uses Cloud Spanner as its backend database. After a few months of monitoring your Cloud Spanner resource, you noticed that the incoming traffic of the application has a predictable pattern. You need to set up automatic scaling that will scale up or scale down your Spanner nodes based on the incoming traffic. You don’t want to use an open-source tool as much as possible.

What should you do?

• Set up an alerting policy on Cloud Monitoring that sends an email alert to Google Cloud Support email when the Cloud Spanner CPU metric exceeds the desired threshold. The Google Support team shall scale the resources up or down appropriately.

• Set up an alerting policy on Cloud Monitoring that sends an email alert to on-call Site Reliability Engineers (SRE) when the Cloud Spanner CPU metric exceeds the desired threshold. The SREs shall scale the resources up or down appropriately.

• Set up an Autoscaler infrastructure in the same project where the Cloud Spanner is deployed to automatically scale the Cloud Spanner resources according to its CPU metric.

• Set up an alerting policy on Cloud Monitoring that sends an alert to a webhook when the Cloud Spanner CPU metric is over or under your desired threshold. Create a Cloud Function that listens to this HTTP webhook and resizes Spanner resources appropriately.

30.You are working for a startup that wants to track the operational costs of its cloud resources. The startup has three separate projects on the Google Cloud Platform. You need to analyze your cost estimates on a daily and monthly basis as well as by service type across all projects for the next six months. You also want to use standard query syntax for cost analysis.

What should you do?

• Enable billing data export on your Cloud Billing Account. Export your billing to a Cloud Storage bucket and import it into Cloud Bigtable to conduct the analysis.

• Enable billing data export on your Cloud Billing Account. Export your billing report to a Cloud Storage bucket and import it into Google Sheets to conduct the analysis.

• 1. Enable billing data export on your Cloud Billing Account. Export your billing transactions to a JSON file, and produce a summary report using a desktop tool.

• Enable billing data export on your Cloud Billing Account. Export your billing report to a BigQuery dataset and write SQL queries for analysis.
