Question 1

You created a cluster.YAML file containingresources: name: cluster type: container.v1.cluster properties: zone: europe-west1-b cluster: description: My GCP ACE cluster initialNodeCount: 2 You want to use Cloud Deployment Manager to create this cluster in GKE. What should you do?

A : gcloud deployment-manager deployments create my-gcp-ace-cluster --config cluster.yaml

B : gcloud deployment-manager deployments create my-gcp-ace-cluster --type container.v1.cluster --config cluster.yaml

C : gcloud deployment-manager deployments apply my-gcp-ace-cluster --type container.v1.cluster --config cluster.yaml

D : gcloud deployment-manager deployments apply my-gcp-ace-cluster --config cluster.yaml

Answer: D

Question 2

You have a managed instance group comprised of preemptible VM's. All of the VM's keepdeleting and recreating themselves every minute. What is a possible cause of thisbehavior?

A : Your zonal capacity is limited, causing all preemptible VM's to be shutdown torecover capacity. Try deploying your group to another zone.

B : You have hit your instance quota for the region.

C : Your managed instance group's VM's are toggled to only last 1 minute inpreemptible settings.

D : Your managed instance group's health check is repeatedly failing, either to amisconfigured health check or misconfigured firewall rules not allowing the healthcheck to access the instance

Answer: D

Question 3

You have an application that uses Cloud Spanner as a database backend to keep current state information about users. Cloud Bigtable logs all events triggered by users. You export Cloud Spanner data to Cloud Storage during daily backups. One of your analysts asks you to join data from Cloud Spanner and Cloud Bigtable for specific users. You want to complete this ad hoc request as efficiently as possible. What should you do?

A : Create a dataflow job that copies data from Cloud Bigtable and Cloud Storage for specific users.

B : Create a dataflow job that copies data from Cloud Bigtable and Cloud Spanner for specific users.

C : Create a Cloud Dataproc cluster that runs a Spark job to extract data from Cloud Bigtable and Cloud Storage for specific users.

D : Create two separate BigQuery external tables on Cloud Storage and Cloud Bigtable. Use the BigQuery console to join these tables through user fields, and apply appropriate filters.

Answer: D

Question 4

(You have an application running inside a Compute Engine instance. You want to provide the application with secure access to a BigQuery dataset. You must ensure that credentials are only valid for a short period of time, and your application will only have access to the intended BigQuery dataset. You want to follow Google-recommended practices and minimize your operational costs. What should you do?)

A : Attach a custom service account to the instance, and grant the service account the BigQuery Data Viewer IAM role on the project.

B : Attach a new service account to the instance every hour, and grant the service account the BigQuery Data Viewer IAM role on the dataset.

C : Attach a custom service account to the instance, and grant the service account the BigQuery Data Viewer IAM role on the dataset.

D : Attach a new service account to the instance every hour, and grant the service account the BigQuery Data Viewer IAM role on the project.

Answer: C

Question 5

You have an application that is currently processing transactions by using a group of managed VM instances. You need to migrate the application so that it is serverless and scalable. You want to implement an asynchronous transaction processing system, while minimizing management overhead. What should you do?

A : Install Kafka on VM instances to acknowledge incoming transactions. Use Cloud Run to process transactions.

B : Install Kafka on VM Instances to acknowledge incoming transactions. Use VM Instances to process transactions.

C : Use Pub/Sub to acknowledge incoming transactions. Use VM instances to process transactions.

D : Use Pub/Sub to acknowledge incoming transactions. Use Cloud Run to process transactions.
