Question 1

Your company plans to migrate its on-premises PostgreSQL database to Google Cloud. The workloads aredemanding, requiring fast transactional and analytical performance. You need to select a fully manageddatabase service on Google Cloud. Your solution must also be able to synchronously replicate and optimizethe storage layer. What should you do?

A : Use the psql client installed on a Compute Engine Instance. Connect to the Cloud SQL instance to perform the database migration.

B : Migrate the database to AlloyDB for PostgreSQL by using Database Migration Service.

C : Migrate the database to Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL by using Database Migration Service.

D : Create a Compute Engine instance. Install and configure PostgreSQL on the instance, and migrate thedatabase.

Answer: B

Question 2

(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 3

You need to create an autoscaling managed instance group for an HTTPS web application. You want to make sure that unhealthy VMs are recreated. What should you do?

D : In the Instance Template, add a startup script that sends a heartbeat to the metadata server.

Answer: A

Question 4

You want to run a single caching HTTP reverse proxy on GCP for a latency-sensitive website. This specific reverse proxy consumes almost no CPU. You want to have a 30-GB in-memory cache, and need an additional 2 GB of memory for the rest of the processes. You want to minimize cost. How should you run this reverse proxy?

A : Create a Cloud Memorystore for Redis instance with 32-GB capacity.

B : Run it on Compute Engine, and choose a custom instance type with 6 vCPUs and 32 GB of memory.

C : Package it in a container image, and run it on Kubernetes Engine, using n1-standard-32 instances as nodes.

D : Run it on Compute Engine, choose the instance type n1-standard-1, and add an SSD persistent disk of 32 GB.

Answer: A

Question 5

Your company wants to provide engineers with access to explore Google Cloud freely in a sandboxenvironment. The total budget for testing across your organization is $1,000. You need to ensure thatengineers are notified when the budget is about to be reached. You want to automate your solution as much aspossible. What should you do?

A : Configure a billing data export to a BigQuery dataset on the Cloud Billing account. Create a dashboard for all costs related to the sandbox experiments. Share the dashboard with all engineers.

B : Create a Google Cloud Folder and ensure that all sandbox projects are located under that Folder. Createa Budget Alert for $1,000 and scope it to the Folder. Configure an email alert to billing administratorsand users once the budget is 90% reached.

C : Create a separate Cloud Billing account for all sandbox projects. Link a credit card with a limit of$1,000 to this billing account. Ensure all sandbox projects are linked to this new Cloud Billing account.

D : Create an email template reminding people to regularly check their Google Cloud spend. Create aCloud Run function that sends the email to all the project owners. Create a daily job in Cloud Schedulerthat triggers the Cloud Run function. Deploy this solution for each sandbox.
