G-ACE - Part 10

You have created a new project in Google Cloud through the gcloud command line interface (CLI) and linked a billing account. You need to create a new Compute Engine instance using the CLI. You need to perform the prerequisite steps. What should you do?

• Create a Cloud Monitoring Workspace.

• Create a VPC network in the project.

• Enable the compute googleapis.com API

• Grant yourself the IAM role of Computer Admin.

Your company has developed a new application that consists of multiple microservices. You want to deploy the application to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and you want to ensure that the cluster can scale as more applications are deployed in the future. You want to avoid manual intervention when each new application is deployed. What should you do?

• Deploy the application on GKE, and add a HorizontalPodAutoscaler to the deployment.

• Deploy the application on GKE, and add a VerticalPodAutoscaler to the deployment.

• Create a GKE cluster with autoscaling enabled on the node pool. Set a minimum and maximum for the size of the node pool.

• Create a separate node pool for each application, and deploy each application to its dedicated node pool.

You need to manage a third-party application that will run on a Compute Engine instance. Other Compute Engine instances are already running with default configuration. Application installation files are hosted on Cloud Storage. You need to access these files from the new instance without allowing other virtual machines (VMs) to access these files. What should you do?

• Create the instance with the default Compute Engine service account. Grant the service account permissions on Cloud Storage.

• Create the instance with the default Compute Engine service account. Add metadata to the objects on Cloud Storage that matches the metadata on the new instance.

• Create a new service account and assign this service account to the new instance. Grant the service account permissions on Cloud Storage.

• Create a new service account and assign this service account to the new instance. Add metadata to the objects on Cloud Storage that matches the metadata on the new instance.

You need to configure optimal data storage for files stored in Cloud Storage for minimal cost. The files are used in a mission-critical analytics pipeline that is used continually. The users are in Boston, MA (United States). What should you do?

• Configure regional storage for the region closest to the users. Configure a Nearline storage class.

• Configure regional storage for the region closest to the users. Configure a Standard storage class.

• Configure dual-regional storage for the dual region closest to the users. Configure a Nearline storage class.

• Configure dual-regional storage for the dual region closest to the users. Configure a Standard storage class.

You are developing a new web application that will be deployed on Google Cloud Platform. As part of your release cycle, you want to test updates to your application on a small portion of real user traffic. The majority of the users should still be directed towards a stable version of your application. What should you do?

• Deploy the application on App Engine. For each update, create a new version of the same service. Configure traffic splitting to send a small percentage of traffic to the new version.

• Deploy the application on App Engine. For each update, create a new service. Configure traffic splitting to send a small percentage of traffic to the new service.

• Deploy the application on Kubernetes Engine. For a new release, update the deployment to use the new version.

• Deploy the application on Kubernetes Engine. For a new release, create a new deployment for the new version. Update the service to use the new deployment.

You need to add a group of new users to Cloud Identity. Some of the users already have existing Google accounts. You want to follow one of Google's recommended practices and avoid conflicting accounts. What should you do?

• Invite the user to transfer their existing account.

• Invite the user to use an email alias to resolve the conflict.

• Tell the user that they must delete their existing account.

• Tell the user to remove all personal email from the existing account.

You need to manage a Cloud Spanner instance for best query performance. Your instance in production runs in a single Google Cloud region. You need to improve performance in the shortest amount of time. You want to follow Google best practices for service configuration. What should you do?

• Create an alert in Cloud Monitoring to alert when the percentage of high priority CPU utilization reaches 45%. If you exceed this threshold, add nodes to your instance.

• Create an alert in Cloud Monitoring to alert when the percentage of high priority CPU utilization reaches 45%. Use database query statistics to identify queries that result in high CPU usage, and then rewrite those queries to optimize their resource usage.

• Create an alert in Cloud Monitoring to alert when the percentage of high priority CPU utilization reaches 65%. If you exceed this threshold, add nodes to your instance.

• Create an alert in Cloud Monitoring to alert when the percentage of high priority CPU utilization reaches 65%. Use database query statistics to identify queries that result in high CPU usage, and then rewrite those queries to optimize their resource usage.

Your company has an internal application for managing transactional orders. The application is used exclusively by employees in a single physical location. The application requires strong consistency, fast queries, and ACID guarantees for multi-table transactional updates. The first version of the application is implemented in PostgreSQL, and you want to deploy it to the cloud with minimal code changes. Which database is most appropriate for this application?

• BigQuery

• Cloud SQL

• Cloud Spanner

• Cloud Datastore

You are assigned to maintain a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster named 'dev' that was deployed on Google Cloud. You want to manage the GKE configuration using the command line interface (CLI). You have just downloaded and installed the Cloud SDK. You want to ensure that future CLI commands by default address this specific cluster What should you do?

• Use the command gcloud config set container/cluster dev

• Use the command gcloud container clusters update dev.

• Create a file called gke.default in the ~/.gcloud folder that contains the cluster name.

• Create a file called defaults.json in the ~/.gcloud folder that contains the cluster name.

The sales team has a project named Sales Data Digest that has the ID acme-data-digest. You need to set up similar Google Cloud resources for the marketing team but their resources must be organized independently of the sales team. What should you do?

• Grant the Project Editor role to the Marketing team for acme-data-digest.

• Create a Project Lien on acme-data-digest and then grant the Project Editor role to the Marketing team.

• Create another project with the ID acme-marketing-data-digest for the Marketing team and deploy the resources there.

• Create a new project named Marketing Data Digest and use the ID acme-data-digest. Grant the Project Editor role to the Marketing team.
