Question 1

You have several hundred microservice applications running in a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster. Each microservice is a deployment with resource limits configured for each container in the deployment. You've observed that the resource limits for memory and CPU are not appropriately set for many of the microservices. You want to ensure that each microservice has right sized limits for memory and CPU. What should you do?

A : Modify the cluster's node pool machine type and choose a machine type with more memory and CPU.

B : Configure a Horizontal Pod Autoscaler for each microservice.

C : Configure GKE cluster autoscaling.

D : Configure a Vertical Pod Autoscaler for each microservice.

Answer: C

Question 2

Your company is moving its continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipeline to Compute Engine instances. The pipeline will manage the entire cloud infrastructure through code. How can you ensure that the pipeline has appropriate permissions while your system is following security best practices?

A : • Add a step for human approval to the CI/CD pipeline before the execution of the infrastructureprovisioning.• Use the human approvals IAM account for the provisioning.

B : • Attach a single service account to the compute instances.• Add minimal rights to the service account.• Allow the service account to impersonate a Cloud Identity user with elevated permissions to create, update, or delete resources.

C : • Attach a single service account to the compute instances.• Add all required Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions to this service account to create, update, or delete resources

D : • Create multiple service accounts, one for each pipeline with the appropriate minimal Identity andAccess Management (IAM) permissions.• Use a secret manager service to store the key files of the service accounts.• Allow the CI/CD pipeline to request the appropriate secrets during the execution of the pipeline.

Answer: B

Question 3

You are building a data lake on Google Cloud for your Internet of Things (loT) application. The loT application has millions of sensors that are constantly streaming structured and unstructured data to your backend in the cloud. You want to build a highly available and resilient architecture based on Googlerecommended practices. What should you do?

A : Stream data to Pub/Sub, and use Dataflow to send data to Cloud Storage

B : Stream data to Pub/Sub. and use Storage Transfer Service to send data to BigQuery.

C : Stream data to Dataflow, and use Storage Transfer Service to send data to BigQuery.

D : Stream data to Dataflow, and use Dataprep by Trifacta to send data to Bigtable.

Answer: A

Question 4

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 5

Your application is running on Google Cloud in a managed instance group (MIG). You see errors in Cloud Logging for one VM that one of the processes is not responsive. You want to replace this VM in the MIG quickly. What should you do?

A : Select the MIG from the Compute Engine console and, in the menu, select Replace VMs.

B : Use the gcloud compute instance-groups managed recreate-instances command to recreate theVM.

C : Use the gcloud compute instances update command with a REFRESH action for the VM.

D : Update and apply the instance template of the MIG.
