This will create a signed URL that will expire in 10 minutes.
Your team has some new functionality that they want to roll out slowly so they can monitor for errors. The change contains some significant changes to the user interface. You've chosen to use traffic splitting to perform a canary deployment. You're going to start by rolling out the code to 15% of your users. How should you go about setting up traffic splitting?A. Deploy the new version. Split the traffic using an IP or cookie based distribution.B. Use the gcloud app deploy command with the distribution flag to deploy and split the traffic in one command.C. Deploy the new version using the no-promote flag. Split the traffic using a random distribution.D. Deploy the new version using the no-promote flag. Split the traffic using distribution.
A. Deploy the new version. Split the traffic using an IP or cookie based distribution.Why is this incorrect?This will work! However, by default when deploying applications the new version is promoted, so it will get 100% of the traffic. Using no-promote is important in this scenario.D. Deploy the new version using the no-promote flag. Split the traffic using distribution.Why is this correct?This will work. Cookie-based will allow for a level of persistence so if a user reloads the page, they'll see the version they're supposed to.

Your developers have been thoroughly logging everything that happens in the API. The API allows end users to request the data as JSON, XML, CSV, and XLS. Supporting all of these formats is taking a lot of developer effort. Management would like to start tracking which options are used over the next month. Without modifying the code, what's the fastest way to be able to report on this data at the end of the month?A. Create a custom counter logging metric that uses a regex to extract the data format into a label. At the end of the month, use the metricviewer to see the group by the label.B. Create a log sink that filters for rows that mention the data format. Export that to BigQuery, and run a query at the end of the month.C. Create a custom monitoring metric in code and edit the API code to set the metric each time the API is called.D. Export the logs to excel, and search for the different fields.
A. Create a custom counter logging metric that uses a regex to extract the data format into a label. At the end of the month, use the metricviewer to see the group by the label.Why is this correct?This is a simple solution that only requires the metric to be created, and thenStackdriver will track each occurrence.D. Export the logs to excel, and search for the different fields.Why is this incorrect?This sounds simple, however, by the time you get the logs filtered andexported into a form Excel can use, you could have already created thelogging metric.
Your data team is working on some new machine learning models. They're generating several files per day that they want to store in a regional bucket. They mostly focus on the files from the last week. However, they want to keep all the files just to base safe. With the fewest steps possible, what's the best way to lower the storage costs?A. Create a Cloud Function triggered when objects are added to a bucket. Look at the date on all the files and move it to nearline storage if it's older than a week.B. Create a Cloud Function triggered when objects are added to a bucket. Look at the date on all the files and move it to coldline storage if it's older than a week.C. Create a lifecycle policy to switch the objects older than a week to coldline storage.D. Create a lifecycle policy to switch the objects older than a week to nearline storage.
C. Create a lifecycle policy to switch the objects older than a week to coldline storage.Why is this incorrect?Since they "mostly" focus on newer files, that means they sometimes need toaccess the old files. Coldline isn't the best option in this case.D. Create a lifecycle policy to switch the objects older than a week to nearline storage.Why is this correct?This would work well, it would save them money on storage, and still beaccessible if they need to access the files.
You've been tasked with getting all of your team's public SSH keys onto all of the instances of a particular project. You've collected them all. With the fewest steps possible, what is the simplest way to get the keys deployed?A. Add all of the keys into a file that's formatted according to the requirements.

What's the best approach to get the Apache logs into Stackdriver?A. Create a log sink and export it to Stackdriver.B. Stackdriver logs application data from all instances by default.C. Enable Stackdriver monitoring when creating the instance.D. Install the Stackdriver monitoring and logging agents on the instance.
A. Create a log sink and export it to Stackdriver.Why is this incorrect?This isn't how log sinks work. Sinks export logs from Stackdriver to other services.D. Install the Stackdriver monitoring and logging agents on the instance.Why is this correct?The agents know how to collect monitoring and logging data from Apache.
You've created a new "Custom Role" for a specific new job role inside your company. The role consisted of several permissions; some had a status of "Supported" others a status of "Testing." The role has been working for weeks; however, some permissions recently stopped working. What is the most likely cause for this?A. The custom role has reached its expiration period.B. The latest Google applied updates reset all of the custom roles.C. One or more permissions with a status of "Testing" have changed.D. Your account has been compromised by hackers.
C. One or more permissions with a status of "Testing" have changed.Why is this correct?Google doesn't recommend using permissions marked with a status of "Testing."D. Your account has been compromised by hackers.Why is this incorrect?This is hypothetically possible. Though, based on the scenario, it's not all that likely. Also, hackers tend to try keeping noticeable changes to a minimum in order to avoid detection.
You've been asked to add a new IAM member and grant them access to run some queries on BigQuery. Considering the principle of least privilege, which role should you assign?A. roles/bigquery.dataViewer and roles/bigquery.jobUserB. Project EditorC. roles/bigquery.adminD. roles/bigquery.dataOwner
A. roles/bigquery.dataViewer and roles/bigquery.jobUserWhy is this correct?These should give enough access to run queries.B. Project EditorWhy is this incorrect?This gives access to just about everything.
Your boss has asked you to onboard a new user and provide them with access to their team's project. What set of steps best describes what needs to happen?A. Add them as a member of the project, grant them the required roles, and sync the user back to G Suite.B. Add the user inside of G Suite, create a user group, and add them to that user group.C. Add the user inside of G Suite; sync from G Suite to the Active Directory using the Directory Sync util; add them as a member and grant them the required roles.D. Add the user inside of G Suite, add them as a member of the project, and grant them the required roles.
A. Add them as a member of the project, grant them the required roles, and sync the user back to G Suite.Why is this incorrect?Cloud IAM isn't an identity provider, and you can't sync from Cloud IAM to GSuite, that's not a real concept.D. Add the user inside of G Suite, add them as a member of the project, and grant them the required roles.Why is this correct?This assumes that the company is using G Suite. Given that, this set of steps would work well.
You've setup and tested several custom roles in your development project. What is the fastest way to create the same roles for your new production project?A. Recreate them in the new project.B. Use the gcloud iam copy roles command and set the destination project.C. In the UI, select the roles and click the Export button.D. Use the gcloud iam roles copy command and set the destination project.
A. Recreate them in the new project.Why is this incorrect?For one role, this may be faster. For several, this is likely slower.https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/iam/roles/copyD. Use the gcloud iam roles copy command and set the destination project.Why is this correct?This is a fast way to copy existing roles, even across projects.
Regarding audit logs, which of the following is a Google recommended best practice?A. Export your audit logs to App EngineB. Export your audit logs to Pub/Sub.C. Flush your audit logs monthly so you can more easily notice security events.D. Export your audit logs to Cloud Storage and store them for a long period of time.
B. Export your audit logs to Pub/Sub.Why is this incorrect?If you have a need for this, then do it. However, in itself, it isn't a best practice. https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/using-iam-securelyD. Export your audit logs to Cloud Storage and store them for a long period of time.Why is this correct?Audit logs should always be backed up and stored securely for as long as ispractical.
While looking at your application's source code in your private Github repo, you've noticed that a service account key has been committed to git. What steps should you take next?A. Revoke the key, remove the key from Git, purge the Git history to remove all traces of the file, ensure the key is added to the.gitignore file.B. Delete the project and create a new one.C. Do nothing. Git is fine for keys if the repo is private.D. Contact Google Cloud Support
A. Revoke the key, remove the key from Git, purge the Git history to remove all traces of the file, ensure the key is added to the.gitignore file.Why is this correct?This should do it. This is pretty common, so if it happens to you, don't beat yourself up about it. Just take steps to ensure it doesn't happen in the future.https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/creating-managing-service-account-keys#deleting_service_account_keysD. Contact Google Cloud SupportWhy is this incorrect?This isn't required. This is something you're able to handle without Google support.
You've been asked to help onboard a new member of the big-data team. They need full access to BigQuery. Which type of role would be the most efficient to set up while following the principle of least privilege?A. Primitive RoleB. Custom RoleC. Managed RoleD. Predefined Role
A. Primitive RoleWhy is this incorrect?Primitive roles are project-based and would be too permissive for this usecase.D. Predefined RoleWhy is this correct?Predefined roles would work great for this use case because they're specificto resources. BigQuery has several predefined roles including a "BigQuery Admin" role.
You have 3 Cloud Storage buckets that all store sensitive data. Which grantees should you audit to ensure that these buckets are not public?A. allUsersB. allAuthenticatedUsersC. publicUsersD. allUsers and allAuthenticatedUsers
C. publicUsersWhy is this incorrect?This isn't a real granteeD. allUsers and allAuthenticatedUsersWhy is this correct?Either of these tokens represents public users. allAuthenticatedUsers represents a user with a Google account. They don't need to be part of your organization. Neither token should be used to grant permissions unless the bucket is truly public.
You have a 20 GB file that you need to securely share with some contractors. They need it as fast as possible. Which steps would get them the file quickly and securely?A. Using composite objects and parallel uploads to upload the file to Cloud Storage quickly. Then generate a signed URL and securely shareit with the contractors.B. Set up a VPC with a custom subnet. Create a subnet tunnel. Upload the file to a network share. Grant the contractors temporary access.C. Upload the file to Bigtable using the bulk data import tool. Then provide the contractors with read access to the database.D. Upload the file to Cloud Storage. Grant the allAuthenticated users token view permissions.
A. Using composite objects and parallel uploads to upload the file to Cloud Storage quickly. Then generate a signed URL and securely shareit with the contractors.Why is this correct?This will allow you to upload the file quickly by breaking it into smaller chunksand uploading them at the same time. The signed URL allows for secure temporary access to the object.D. Upload the file to Cloud Storage. Grant the allAuthenticated users token view permissions.Why is this incorrect?This is roughly the same as using the allUsers token. The difference being,this requires users to be logged into a Google account. The users don't need to exist as one of your IAM members.
You have several users who need access to some very specific Google Cloud functionality. You'd like to follow the principle of least privilege. What's the best way to ensure these users can list Cloud Storage buckets, list BigQuery jobs, and list compute disks?A. Add the users to the viewer role.B. Use the Cloud Storage Bucket Viewer, BigQuery Job User, and Compute User predefined roles.C. Create a custom role for this job role, add the required permissions, and add the users to the role.D. Add the users to a group, apply the Cloud Storage Bucket Viewer, BigQuery Job User, and Compute User predefined roles.
A. Add the users to the viewer role.Why is this incorrect?This is far too permissiveC. Create a custom role for this job role, add the required permissions, and add the users to the role.Why is this correct?This meets all the criteria. Using predefined roles would work, however, they'dbe too permissive.
Your boss has asked you to set up something to perform monitoring and logging. The ideal solution would allow you to monitor your Google Cloud resources as well as a few different EC2 instances running inside AWS. Which option would meet the criteria with the least amount of work?A. Deploy a custom solution based on the ELK stack.B. DatadogC. StackdriverD. AWS Cloudwatch
A. Deploy a custom solution based on the ELK stack.Why is this incorrect?This doesn't work in this scenario due to the amount of effort to set up and configure compared to Stackdriver.C. StackdriverWhy is this correct?Stackdriver is a part of Google Cloud, it offers support for AWS monitoring, and it doesn't require learning or paying for any third-party services.
Your development team has asked for your help. They need a simple, reproducible way to create and terminate a new Compute Engine instance so that they can automate it as a part of their CI/CD process. What is the best option for accomplishing that?A. Show them how to use the Console to create and terminate instances.B. Recommend that they use the REST API to develop the functionality in the language of their choosing.C. Show them how to use the gcloud component of the Cloud SDK.D. Show them how to use a Docker container. Then they can get rid of the need for the VM.
C. Show them how to use the gcloud component of the Cloud SDK.Why is this correct?This would work well. It's simple to use, reproducible, and will work cross- platform.D. Show them how to use a Docker container. Then they can get rid of the need for the VM.Why is this incorrect?There's no evidence in this scenario that this is a viable strategy. Also, they'dstill need to run that container somewhere. The Cloud SDK is the best option.
You're in charge of setting up a Stackdriver account to monitor 3 separate projects. Which of the following is a Google best practice?A. Use the existing project with the least resources as the host project for the Stackdriver account.B. Use the existing project with the most resources as the host project for the Stackdriver account.C. Create a new, empty project to use as the host project for the Stackdriver account.D. Use one of the existing projects as the host project for the Stackdriver account.
B. Use the existing project with the most resources as the host project for the Stackdriver account.Why is this incorrect?This isn't a best practice for Google or anyone else.https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/accounts/C. Create a new, empty project to use as the host project for the Stackdriver account.Why is this correct?This is Google's recommendation when monitoring multiple projects.
You've finally been given a new laptop, but you need to install all of the tools you need. You already installed the Cloud SDK, but none of the commands seem to be working correctly. What step did you likely forget?A. gcloud initB. gcloud config_listC. gcloud application_initD. gcloud config list
A. gcloud initWhy is this correct?Running gcloud init will kick off the authentication process as well as go through setting some default properties, such as the project. If you're not able to interact with your project after installing the SDK, you may have missed running the init process.D. gcloud config listWhy is this incorrect?This might be useful for showing the current configuration. However, it won't resolve the issue.
You're using Stackdriver to set up some alerts. You want to reuse your existing REST-based notification tools that your ops team has created. You want the setup to be as simple as possible to configure and maintain. Which notification option would be the best option?A. Use a Slack bot to listen for messages posted by Google.B. Send it to an email account that is being polled by a custom process that can handle the notification.C. Send notifications via SMS and use a custom app to forward them to the REST API.D. Webhooks
A. Use a Slack bot to listen for messages posted by Google.Why is this incorrect?This is also possible, though, it's an additional layer that makes it more complicated than it needs to be.D. WebhooksWhy is this correct?Webhooks would allow you to easily send the notification to an HTTP(S) endpoint. Given the above scenario, this is the best option for something custom.
You need to help a developer install the App Engine Go extensions. However, you've forgotten the exact name of the component. Which command could you run to show all of the available options?A. gcloud config listB. gcloud component listC. gcloud config components listD. gcloud components list
B. gcloud component listWhy is this incorrect?In this example the word component is singular. The actual command is plural: gcloud components listD. gcloud components listWhy is this correct?This will show a table of all the components, and if they are installed or not.
A few members of the dev team have been talking about testing a Google Cloud API they've never used before. They're curious to see what parameters are required and what the results of the API call will look like.They've asked you to set up a new project, grant them access, enable the API, and let them know when it's ready.What's the most efficient way to help the developers test the new API?A. Direct them to the API Explorer.B. Follow the developer's recommendation and set up a new project, grant them access, and enable the API.C. Help them to set up the Cloud SDK and use the gcloud command.D. Enable the API inside an existing project and grant them permissions.
A. Direct them to the API Explorer.Why is this correct?The API Explorer is likely the fastest and easiest way to test out an API. It doesn't require all of the additional effort that goes along with setting up APIs for production environments.B. Follow the developer's recommendation and set up a new project, grant them access, and enable the API.Why is this incorrect?This works, it's just not the easiest way to go about accomplishing the task.
After enabling the BigQuery export, you've noticed some additional expenses that you hadn't expected or included in your budget.What's the most likely reason for these additional expenses?A. The BigQuery costs are now included in your changes.B. You've underestimated the price of the services you're using.C. Google has increased their prices.D. Google charges $1.00 per day for billing exports.
A. The BigQuery costs are now included in your changes.Why is this correct?If all other charges are accounted for, this is likely the cause.C. Google has increased their prices.Why is this incorrect?This is possible, though, if the additional cost happened after enabling the BQ export, it's more likely that it is the cause.

A. Pub/Sub, DatastoreWhy is this incorrect?Bigtable is a better solution for high traffic - time series data.D. Pub/Sub, BigtableWhy is this correct?Pub/Sub is able to handle the ingestion, and BigTable is a great solution for time series data.
Your team has been working on building a web application. The plan is to deploy to Kubernetes. You currently have a Dockerfile that works locally. How can you get the application deployed to Kubernetes?A. Use kubectl to push the convert the Dockerfile into a deployment.B. Use docker to create a container image, save the image to Cloud Storage, deploy the uploaded image to Kubernetes with kubectl C. Use kubectl apply to push the Dockerfile to Kubernetes.D. Use docker to create a container image, push it to the Google Container Registry, deploy the uploaded image to Kubernetes withkubectl.
C. Use kubectl apply to push the Dockerfile to Kubernetes.Why is this incorrect?Kubernetes works with container images, not Dockerfiles, and the images need to be in an accessible Container Registry.D. Use docker to create a container image, push it to the Google Container Registry, deploy the uploaded image to Kubernetes withkubectl.Why is this correct?Kubernetes works with container images, not Dockerfiles, and the images need to be in an accessible Container Registry. So this will work.
Your developers have some application metrics that they're tracking. They'd like to be able to create alerts based on these metrics. What steps need to happen in order to alert based on these metrics?A. In the UI create a new logging metric with the required filters, edit the application code to set the metric value when needed, and create an alert in Stackdriver based on the new metric.B. Create a custom monitoring metric in code, edit the application code to set the metric value when needed, create an alert in Stackdriverbased on the new metric.C. Add the Stackdriver monitoring and logging agent to the instances running the code.D. Create a custom monitoring metric in code, in the UI create a matching logging metric, and create an alert in Stackdriver based on the new metric.
B. Create a custom monitoring metric in code, edit the application code to set the metric value when needed, create an alert in Stackdriverbased on the new metric.Why is this correct?This will work. Developers can use one of Google's APIs to create and set custom metrics.D. Create a custom monitoring metric in code, in the UI create a matching logging metric, and create an alert in Stackdriver based on the new metric.Why is this incorrect?This is a mashup of using monitoring and logging metrics. This won't work.
Your engineers have asked you to set up a subnet with the largest IP address range possible. Which of the following ranges would work best?A. 0.0.0.0/0B. 10.0.0.0/32C. 192.168.0.0/16D. 10.0.0.0/8
A. 0.0.0.0/0Why is this incorrect?This represents every possible IP address, public and private. You can't use this for a subnet.D. 10.0.0.0/8Why is this correct?This would result in a range of 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 resulting in 16,777,214 possible addresses.
You've set up an instance inside your new network and subnet. Your firewall rules are set to target all instances in your network. You have the following firewall rules.NAME:deny-all | NETWORK:devnet | DIRECTION:INGRESS | PRIORITY:1000 | DENY:tcp:0- 65535,udp:0-6553 NAME:open-ssh | NETWORK:devnet | DIRECTION:INGRESS | PRIORITY:5000 | ALLOW:tcp:22However, when you attempt to connect to your instance via SSH, your connection is timing out.What is the most likely cause?A. Your instance needs to be rebooted.B. The SSH key hasn't been uploaded to the instance.C. The firewall rule needs to be applied to the instance specifically.D. The deny rule overrides the allow rule.
B. The SSH key hasn't been uploaded to the instance.Why is this incorrect?There would be an error if the key wasn't uploaded.D. The deny rule overrides the allow rule.Why is this correct?The larger the number, the lower its priority.
You're deploying an application to a Compute Engine instance, and it's going to need to make calls to read from Cloud Storage and Bigtable. You want to make sure you're following the principle of least privilege. What's the easiest way to ensure the code can authenticate to the required Google Cloud APIs?A. Create a new user account with the required roles. Store the credentials in Cloud Key Management Service and download them to the instance in code.B. Use the default Compute Engine service account and set its scopes. Let the code find the default service account using "Application Default Credentials".C. Create a new service account and key with the required limited permissions. Set the instance to use the new serviceaccount. Edit the code to use the service account key.D. Register the application with the Binary Registration Service and apply the required roles.
B. Use the default Compute Engine service account and set its scopes. Let the code find the default service account using "Application Default Credentials".Why is this correct?Simple and effective.C. Create a new service account and key with the required limited permissions. Set the instance to use the new serviceaccount. Edit the code to use the service account key.Why is this incorrect?This will allow you to run with limited permissions, though it's more workthan needed.
You're attempting to set up a new budget with some alerts. Your team lead asked you to use last months spending as a reference for the budget amount. What's the best way to configure this budget?A. Locate the spending data from the File export; use that as the budget amount.B. Locate the spending data from the BigQuery export; use that as the budget amount.C. Look at the spending data and locate the amount; use that as the budget amount.D. Use the "Last month's spend" option to allow Google Cloud to determine the budget amount.
C. Look at the spending data and locate the amount; use that as the budget amount.Why is this incorrect?This would work, but it isn't as dynamic as using the "Last month's spend" option.D. Use the "Last month's spend" option to allow Google Cloud to determine the budget amount.Why is this correct?This is likely the easiest option for this scenario.
You're attempting to remove the zone property from the Compute Engine service, that was set with the incorrect value. Which command would accomplish your task?A. gcloud config unset compute/zoneB. gcloud config unset zoneC. gcloud config configurations unset compute/zoneD. gcloud unset compute/zone
A. gcloud config unset compute/zoneWhy is this correct?This would indeed unset the zone for compute engine.B. gcloud config unset zoneWhy is this incorrect?This command omits the compute part of the zone. It should be compute/zone . Without the compute/ prefix, the unset command assumesthis is a core property.
You have an App Engine application running in us- east1. You've noticed 90% of your traffic comes from the West Coast. You'd like to change the region. What's the best way to change the App Engine region?A. Use the gcloud app region set command and supply the name of the new region.B. Contact Google Cloud Support and request the change.C. From the console, under the App Engine page, click edit, and change the region drop-down.D. Create a new project and create an App Engine instance in us- west2.
A. Use the gcloud app region set command and supply the name of the new region.Why is this incorrect?There is currently no way to change the region of App Engine.D. Create a new project and create an App Engine instance in us- west2.Why is this correct?There is currently no way to change the region of App Engine.
You have a simple web application that you're trying to deploy in a secure and inexpensive way. The application is running inside a Docker container on port 8080. Once the application is initially deployed, the developers are going to take ownership of future deployments.What is the best option for running the application?A. Use an App Engine Standard Environment.B. Use an App Engine Flexible Environment.C. Use an on-premises Kubernetes cluster.D. Use Kubernetes Engine.
B. Use an App Engine Flexible Environment.Why is this correct?Flexible environments are able to use a Dockerfile to create custom runtimes. They specifically run on port 8080.C. Use an on-premises Kubernetes cluster.Why is this incorrect?This probably doesn't meet the criteria of inexpensive, considering the amount of ops effort required to run a cluster. Also, most companies don't have the security expertise, especially around Kubernetes.
Your company created an application that just went viral. Based on the current traffic, your team is expecting to need 12 Standard-2 instances to handle the traffic for next month. What's the easiest way to estimate how much that is going to cost?A. Use a billing alert.B. Contact Google Support.C. Export the billing logs to BigQuery for analysis.D. Use the price calculator.
A. Use a billing alert.Why is this incorrect?An alert only lets you know when you're going to exceed your budget.D. Use the price calculator.Why is this correct?This is a simple way to estimate the cost of Google Cloud resources.
Your team uses a third-party monitoring solution. They've asked you to deploy it to the nodes in your Kubernetes Engine Cluster. What's the best way to do that?A. Deploy the monitoring pod as a DaemonSet.B. Deploy the monitoring pod as a Deployment.C. Use Deployment Manager to deploy the monitoring solution.D. Connect to each node via SSH and install the monitoring solution.
A. Deploy the monitoring pod as a DaemonSet.Why is this correct?DaemonSets run a pod on each node in the cluster. Using a DaemonSetallows you to deploy your pod in the same way you deploy your other containers. This makes it easy to do without adding new tools.D. Connect to each node via SSH and install the monitoring solution.Why is this incorrect?This is more work than required, it's also not a very scalable solution. Using aDaemonSet will deploy the container (in a pod) to each node.
You're using a Pub/Sub topic to publish disparate messages from an on-premises application. You're looking for a simple way to run some code every time a message is published. What is the simplest, lowest cost, and most CPU friendly solution?A. Use a scheduled task that starts an App Engine application to poll for changes.B. Use a scheduled Cloud Function to check the queue every minute.C. Deploy code to Compute Engine that polls for messages.D. Have Pub/Sub push messages to a Cloud Function.
B. Use a scheduled Cloud Function to check the queue every minute.Why is this incorrect?This is inefficient. Pub/Sub can push messages to a function.D. Have Pub/Sub push messages to a Cloud Function.Why is this correct?This ticks all the boxes. Simple, low cost, CPU friendly because it's not polling.
You're using Deployment Manager to deploy your application to an autoscaled, managed instance group on Compute Engine. The application is a single binary, What is the fastest way to get the binary onto the instance, without introducing undue complexity?A. When creating the instance template use the startup script metadata key to bootstrap the application.B. Use a "golden image" that contains everything you need.C. When creating the instance template, use the startup script metadata key to install Ansible. Have the instance run the play-book at startup to install the application.D. Once the instance starts up, connect over SSH and install the application.
A. When creating the instance template use the startup script metadata key to bootstrap the application.Why is this correct?The startup script is a simple way to get your application bootstrapped withoutadding more tooling.B. Use a "golden image" that contains everything you need.Why is this incorrect?This is a common practice, and it's a great answer. It doesn't quite meet the complexity requirements for this question.
You're migrating an on-premises application to Google Cloud. The application uses a component that requires a licensing server. The license server has the IP address 10.28.0.10. You want to deploy the application without making any changes to the code or configuration. How should you go about deploying the application?A. Create a subnet with a CIDR range of 10.28.0.0/28. Reserve a static internal IP address of 10.28.0.10. Assign the static address to the license server instance.B. Create a subnet with a CIDR range of 10.28.0.0/28. Reserve a static external IP address of 10.28.0.10. Assign the static address to the license server instance.C. Create a subnet with a CIDR range of 10.28.0.0/10. Reserve a static external IP address of 10.28.0.10. Assign the static address to the license server instance.D. Create a subnet with a CIDR range of 10.28.0.0/29. Reserve a static internal IP address of 10.28.0.10. Assign the static address to the license server instance.
A. Create a subnet with a CIDR range of 10.28.0.0/28. Reserve a static internal IP address of 10.28.0.10. Assign the static address to the license server instance.Why is this correct?This would work. The CIDR range is large enough to include 10.28.0.10.B. Create a subnet with a CIDR range of 10.28.0.0/28. Reserve a static external IP address of 10.28.0.10. Assign the static address to the license server instance.Why is this incorrect?In this scenario, we need a static internal IP, not an external.
You've seen some errors in the logs for a specific Deployment. You've narrowed the issue down to the Pod named "ad-generator" that is throwing the errors. Your engineers aren't able to reproduce the error in any other environment. They've told you that if they could just "connect into the container" for 5 minutes, they could figure out the root cause. What steps would allow them to run commands against the container?A. Use the kubectl exec -it ad-generator -- /bin/bash command to run a shell on that container.B. Use the kubectl exec -it -- /bin/bash command to run a shell on that container.C. Use the kubectl run command to run a shell on that container.D. Use the kubectl run ad-generator /bin/bash command to run a shell on that container.
A. Use the kubectl exec -it ad-generator -- /bin/bash command to run a shell on that container.Why is this correct?Assuming the container has the bash binary installed, this will work.C. Use the kubectl run command to run a shell on that container.Why is this incorrect?Run is used to create deployments on the cluster.
You've created a new Compute Engine instance in zone us-central1-b . When you tried to attach the GPU thatyou're data engineers requested, you're getting an error. What is the most likely cause of the error?A. Your instance isn't running with the correct scopes to allow GPUs.B. The GPU is not supported for your OS.C. Your instance isn't running with the default compute engine service account.D. The desired GPU doesn't exist in that zone.
A. Your instance isn't running with the correct scopes to allow GPUs.Why is this incorrect?This is just specific enough to sound like it could be a real answer. Sadly, thisnot a real thing.D. The desired GPU doesn't exist in that zone.Why is this correct?Not all GPUs exist in all regions.
You've been running App Engine applications in a Standard Environment for a few weeks. With several successful deployments, you've just deployed a broken version, and the developers have gone home for the day. What is the fastest way to get the site back into a functioning state?A. Have the developers fix the issue and deploy.B. Use the gcloud app rollback command.C. In the UI, click Traffic Splitting and direct 100% of the traffic to the previous version.D. In the UI, click the Rollback button on the versions page.
A. Have the developers fix the issue and deploy.Why is this incorrect?This is a good option. However, if the devs are not available per the question, then this isn't the fastest way.C. In the UI, click Traffic Splitting and direct 100% of the traffic to the previous version.Why is this correct?This is an easy way to roll the change back to a working version.
You've been running your App Engine app for a few weeks with Autoscaling, and it's been working well.

You and your team have been working on a new application over the past couple weeks. While it's still in development, it's becoming a bit costly for your limited budget. The entire team had a meeting on Friday to talk about how to save money until you're able to launch. One of your team members suggested shutting down some services overnight and during the weekend. Though no official decision was made before leaving for the weekend, a junior team member sent out an email saying he found a solution to the problem.When arriving at the office on Monday, you find that your project is no longer in the drop-down inside the Console. What's the most likely reason for the missing project?A. The project was moved to another account.B. Your trial credits expired, and the project was removed.C. The engineer removed the project and attached all of the resources directly to the Organization.D. The engineer clicked the "shut down" link thinking it was like a light switch that he could toggle on and off.
B. Your trial credits expired, and the project was removed.Why is this incorrect?Google doesn't remove projects. If you have free credits and they expire, then you'll be billed based on whatever billing profile you've set up in your billing account.D. The engineer clicked the "shut down" link thinking it was like a light switch that he could toggle on and off.Why is this correct?The phrase "shut down" used in several areas of the Console could beconfusing to engineers who are new to Google Cloud.
You're using a self-serve Billing Account to pay for your 2 projects. Your billing threshold is set to $1000.00 and between the two projects you're spending roughly 50 dollars per day. It has been 18 days since you were last charged.Given the above data, when will you likely be charged next?A. On the first day of the next month.B. In 2 days when you'll hit your billing threshold.C. On the thirtieth day of the month.D. In 12 days, making it 30 days since the previous payment.
A. On the first day of the next month.Why is this incorrect?This could be correct if coincidentally the charge was made on the first day of the next month. However, it's not the intent of the scenario. With Self-serve, you pay when you hit the billing threshold or every 30 days; whichever happens first. Given the scenario assumes $50 per day, you'll hit thespending threshold in 2 more days.D. In 12 days, making it 30 days since the previous payment.Why is this correct?With Self-serve, you pay when you hit the billing threshold or every 30 days;whichever happens first. Given the scenario assumes $50 per day, you'll hit the spending threshold in 2 more days.
You keep attempting to execute a command, and while there's no error being thrown, you suspect something is going wrong. You want to check out the gcloud logs. However, you can't recall in which directory they're located.

A. google logsWhy is this incorrect?This isn't a command. gcloud info is the correct answer.B. gcloud infoWhy is this correct?This display gives details about the components, libraries, system details, and the log directory, as well as the last log file.
Your coworker created a deployment for your application container. You can see the deployment under Workloads in the console. They're out for the rest of the week, and your boss needs you to complete the setup by exposing the workload.What's the easiest way to do that?A. Create a new Service that points to the existing deployment.B. Create a new DaemonSet.C. Create a Global Load Balancer that points to the pod in the deployment.D. Create a Static IP Address Resource for the Deployment.
A. Create a new Service that points to the existing deployment.Why is this correct?A service is how we expose deployments. It's a persistent endpoint that we can interact with, and it will send the traffic over to the pods in the deployment.B. Create a new DaemonSet.Why is this incorrect?DaemonSets are used to ensure a copy of a pod is running on all (specified) nodes.
You've uploaded some static web assets to a public storage bucket for the developers. However, they're not able to see them in the browser due to what they called "CORS errors". What's the easiest way to resolve the errors for the developers?A. Advise the developers to adjust the CORS configuration inside their code.B. Use the gsutil cors set command to set the CORS configuration on the bucket.C. Use the gsutil set cors command to set the CORS configuration on the bucket.D. Use the gsutil set cors command to set the CORS configuration on the object.
A. Advise the developers to adjust the CORS configuration inside their code.Why is this incorrect?This won't resolve the issue. The problem needs to be addressed in CloudStorage.B. Use the gsutil cors set command to set the CORS configuration on the bucket.Why is this correct?This is correct. You can set the CORS configuration on the bucket allowingthe objects to be viewable from the required domains.
Your developers are trying to connect to an Ubuntu server over SSH to diagnose some errors. However, the connection times out. Which command should help solve the problem?A. gcloud compute firewall-rules create "open-ssh" --network $NETWORK --allow tcp:22B. gcloud compute firewall-rules create "open-ssh"C. gcloud compute firewall-rules create "open-ssh" --network $NETWORK --deny tcp:22D. gcloud compute firewall-rules create "open-ssh" --network $NETWORK --allow tcp:3389
A. gcloud compute firewall-rules create "open-ssh" --network $NETWORK --allow tcp:22Why is this correct?The assumption here is that port 22 for ssh is blocked by the firewall. This willopen it up to the world.C. gcloud compute firewall-rules create "open-ssh" --network $NETWORK --deny tcp:22Why is this incorrect?This creates a deny rule. The issue is likely that the port is already blocked, sothis won't fix the problem.
You've been trying to deploy a container to Kubernetes; however, kubectl doesn't seem to be able to connect to the cluster. Of the following, what is the most likely cause and how can you fix it?A. The kubeconfig is missing the credentials. Run the gcloud container clusters get-credentials command.B. The firewall rules are preventing the connection. Open up the firewall rules to allow traffic to port 1337.C. The kubeconfig is missing the credentials. Run the gcloud container clusters auth login command.D. The firewall rules are preventing the connection. Open up the firewall rules to allow traffic to port 3682.
A. The kubeconfig is missing the credentials. Run the gcloud container clusters get-credentials command.Why is this correct?Kubectl doesn't know about a cluster. Using this command, you can get thecluster credentials and save them locally.C. The kubeconfig is missing the credentials. Run the gcloud container clusters auth login command.Why is this incorrect?The problem is likely related to the credentials missing inside kubeconfig.However, that command is fake and won't solve the problem.
You've uploaded some PDFs to a public bucket. When users browse to the documents, they're downloaded rather than viewed in the browser. How can we ensure that the PDFs are viewed in the browser?A. This is a browser setting and not something that can be changed.B. Use the gsutil set file-type pdf command.C. Set the Content metadata for the object to "application/pdf".D. Set the Content-Type metadata for the object to "application/pdf
B. Use the gsutil set file-type pdf command.Why is this incorrect?This isn't a real command. Browsers use the content-type header to determine how to render an asset.D. Set the Content-Type metadata for the object to "application/pdf"Why is this correct?This will ensure the browser views the object as a PDF.

Role: Project OwnerE. Role: Billing Account AdminF. Reason:: This role will ensure the CFO can perform any billing task that they may need.
B. Role: Billing Account Viewer Why is this correct?This is a good role for users who need to view the spending data but notmake changes or create billable projects. This would be a good role for a CFO.C. Reason: This role will ensure the CFO has access to view the spending data.Why is this correct?Billing Account Viewer is a good role for users who need to view the spendingdata but not make changes or create billable projects. This would be a good role for a CFO.D. Role: Project OwnerWhy is this incorrect?This is far too permissive for someone who only needs access to financial data.F. Reason:: This role will ensure the CFO can perform any billing task that they may need.Why is this incorrect?This would work, but it is more permissive than likely required.

Your developers have created an application that needs to be able to make calls to Cloud Storage and BigQuery. The code is going to run inside a container and will run on Kubernetes Engine and on-premises.What's the best way for them to authenticate to the Google Cloud services?A. Create a service account, grant it the least viable privileges to the required services, generate and download a key. Use the key to authenticate inside the application.B. Use the default service account for App Engine which already has the required permissions.C. Use the default service account for Compute Engine which already has the required permissions.D. Create a service account, with editor permissions, generate and download a key. Use the key to authenticate inside the application.
A. Create a service account, grant it the least viable privileges to the required services, generate and download a key. Use the key to authenticate inside the application.Why is this correct?Service accounts are used for this very reason. Care needs to be taken with the key. However, this will work.B. Use the default service account for App Engine which already has the required permissions.Why is this incorrect?This would work, however, it violates the principle of least privilege. Also, it would still require a service account key for the on-premises code.
You've been asked to add Martha Jones as a member of the "Production Storefront App" project; Using the email address martha.jones@tardis.com with the App Engine Admin role. You browse to the IAM page in the console and attempt to add her, however, you get the following error."Email addresses and domains must be associated with an active Google Account or Google Apps account."What's the most likely cause for this error?A.

Unlike the other projects which are highly used production environments.You just received an email informing you that you've hit 50% of your budget.What is the most likely reason for this notification?A. You've experienced a billing glitch.B. You set the budget to use the billing account rather than the project.C. You've had a massive spike in App Engine traffic.D. You've underestimated the costs associated with App Engine, Datastore, or other used services.
A. You've experienced a billing glitch.Why is this incorrect?Possible, however, given the scenario, this isn't the most likely cause.B. You set the budget to use the billing account rather than the project.Why is this correct?You can set the budget to track against a billing account or project. If you intended to use the project, and accidentally used the billing account, that could cause this.
Your security team wants to be able to audit network traffic inside of your network. What's the best way to ensure they have access to the data they need?A. Enable flow logs.B. Disable flow logs.C. Add them to the Subnet Traffic Viewer role.D. Add a firewall capture filter.
A. Enable flow logs.Why is this correct?Using flow logs saves networking traffic to the logs, though it does generate a lot of data.B. Disable flow logs.Why is this incorrect?Using flow logs saves networking traffic to the logs. Enabling flow logs would give them what they need.
You're looking for the IP address of a specific instance that is running in your default zone. Which command and flag(s) could you use to return just the IP address?A. The gcloud compute list along with the filter and format flags.B. The gcloud compute list along with the o flag and jsonpath value.C. The gcloud compute instances list along with the o flag and jsonpath value.D. The gcloud compute instances list along with the filter and format flags.
A. The gcloud compute list along with the filter and format flags.Why is this incorrect?The component to view an instance is named "instances".D. The gcloud compute instances list along with the filter and format flags.Why is this correct?This would allow you to zero in on just the properties you want.
Your finance team is working with the engineering team to try and determine your spending for each service by day and month across all projects used by the billing account. What is the easiest and most flexible way to aggregate and analyze the data?A. Export the data for the billing account(s) involved to BigQuery; then use BigQuery to analyze the service data for the desired projects, by day and month.B. Export the data for the billing account(s) involved to a JSON File; use a Cloud Function to listen for a new file in the Storage bucket; code the function to analyze the service data for the desired projects, by day and month.C. Export the data for the billing account(s) to File, import the files into a SQL database; then use BigQuery to analyze the service data for the desired projects, by day and month.D. Use the built-in reports which already show this data.
A. Export the data for the billing account(s) involved to BigQuery; then use BigQuery to analyze the service data for the desired projects, by day and month.Why is this correct?You can export the data from the Billing Account to BigQuery. This will give you the data for all of the projects. Then you can start querying the data for patterns.B. Export the data for the billing account(s) involved to a JSON File; use a Cloud Function to listen for a new file in the Storage bucket; code the function to analyze the service data for the desired projects, by day and month.Why is this incorrect?This is possible, and it's fairly automated. Though it's a harder set up than with BigQuery, and it isn't as flexible since it requires a code change to edit the analysis.
Your team has been working towards using desired state configuration for your entire infrastructure, which is why they're excited to store the Kubernetes Deployments in YAML.
