What cloud service model would you want to select if you want to solve a particular business problem by providing CRM services in the cloud to your enterprises? (Select One)

• PaaS
• IaaS
• BaaS
• SaaS

Answer explanation

SaaS - Software as a Service (SaaS) provides you a complete product that is run and managed by the service provider.You worry only about using the software and not about infrastructure.SaaS provides the lowest level of flexibility and management control over the infrastructure. (Example: Google Gsuite and MS O365)https://csrc.nist.gov/glossary/term/saas

Which of the following NIST Cloud characteristics uses the business model of shared resources in a cloud environment? (Select One)

• Broad Network Access
• Multi-tenancy
• Elasticity
• Chargeback

Answer explanation

In cloud computing, multitenancy means that multiple customers of a cloud vendor are using the same computing resources. Despite the fact that they share resources, cloud customers aren't aware of each other, and their data is kept totally separate. Multitenancy is a crucial component of cloud computing; without it, cloud services would be far less practical. Multitenant architecture is a feature in many types of public cloud computing, including IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, containers, and serverless computing.https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/cloud/what-is-multitenancy/ https://www.nist.gov/system/files/documents/itl/cloud/NIST_SP-500-291_Version-2_2013_June18_FINAL.pdf

Your development team has gone effectively "Cloud Native". Cloud Native meaning they are developing apps that run containers and can be deployed on premises or on a cloud solution. What service on Google Cloud Platform deploys stateless HTTP containers and is considered a cloud native service? (Select One)

• Cloud Run
• App Engine
• Cloud Functions
• Anthos

Answer explanation

Cloud Run deploys stateless HTTP containers on a fully managed environment or in your own GKE cluster. Google Cloud Run is a fully managed platform that takes a Docker container image and runs it as a stateless, autoscaling HTTP service.. Cloud Functions is different since it is a "serverless" service that is used to respond to events (Does not use containers).

Your development team has been migrating the enterprise data warehouse service to Google Cloud. They chose Google BigQuery specifically for large amounts of data they will query. What is the best reason below for selecting BigQuery over BigTable? (Select One)

• BigQuery is cheaper than AWS comparables.
• BigQuery is a low latency data warehouse.
• Latency is critical and BigQuery is a low latency service as compared to BigTable
• BigQuery is what you use when you have collected a large amount of data, and need to ask questions about it.

Answer explanation

BigQuery Vs BigTable•BigQuery is what you use when you have collected a large amount of data, and need to ask questions about it. (It’s Serverless)•BigTable is a database which is designed to be the foundation for a large, scalable application.•Use BigTable when you are making any kind of app that needs to read and write data, and scale is a potential issue.(Low Latency)•Use BigQuery when you have collected a large amount of data, and then need to ask questions about it (Query). https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/developers-practitioners/bigtable-vs-bigquery-whats-difference

What service is a fully-managed real-time messaging service that allows you to send and receive messages between independent applications. (Select One)

• Cloud Spanner
• Cloud Pub/Sub
• Cloud Run
• Cloud BigTable

Answer explanation

Google Cloud Pub/Sub is a scalable, durable event ingestion and delivery system. Pub/Sub allows services to communicate asynchronously, with latencies on the order of 100 milliseconds.Pub/Sub is used for streaming analytics and data integration pipelines to ingest and distribute data. It is equally effective as messaging-oriented middleware for service integration or as a queue to parallelize tasks. Pub/Sub enables you to create systems of event producers and consumers, called publishers and subscribers. Publishers communicate with subscribers asynchronously by broadcasting events, rather than by synchronous remote procedure calls (RPCs).https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/overview

Compute Engine VM's provide several storage options based on your storage requirements such as persistence, performance and availability. Your organization wants to use Compute Engine to host a data query service for stock analysis and would need to have a low latency disk solution. The storage solution does not need to be persistent meaning that it would not require full availability after a reboot since queries are logged immediately. What storage solution on GCP would you select that would provide high performance block storage locally to the VM instance? (Select One)

• Local SSD
• BigTable
• Regional Persistent Disk
• Zonal Persistent Disk

Answer explanation

Local SSD is the closest and most high performing storage solution. It would not be persistent and would not be mobile meaning we could move it from another VM. •Zonal persistent disk: Efficient, reliable block storage.•Regional persistent disk: Regional block storage replicated in two zones.•Local SSD: High performance, transient, local block storage.•Cloud Storage buckets: Affordable object storage.

You are looking for a one stop reference page for GCP support. What Page would you select? (Select One)

• Support Hub
• Cloud Link
• Google Cloud Platform Status
• Stackdriver

Answer explanation

Google provides a page that brings together everything needed around support. Its called the Support Hubhttps://cloud.google.com/support-hub

Compute Engine provides machine type recommendations to help you optimize the resource utilization of your virtual machine (VM) instances. What is this capability called? (Select One)

• App Engine
• Recommendation Service
• Rightsizing Recommendations
• Alignment Engine

Answer explanation

Compute Engine provides machine type recommendations to help you optimize the resource utilization of your virtual machine (VM) instances. These recommendations are generated automatically based on system metrics gathered by the Cloud Monitoring service over the previous 8 days. Use these recommendations to resize your instance's machine type to more efficiently use the instance's resources. This feature is also known as rightsizing recommendations https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/apply-machine-type-recommendations-for-instances
