Question 1

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.

Answer: A

Question 2

You are given a project with a single virtual private cloud (VPC) and a single subnetwork in the us-central1 region. There is a Compute Engine instance hosting an application in thissubnetwork. You need to deploy a new instance in the same project in the europe-west1 region. This new instance needs access to the application. You want to follow Google-recommended practices. What should you do?

A : 1. Create a subnetwork in the same VPC, in europe-west1.2. Create the new instance in the new subnetwork and use the first instance's private address as the endpoint.

B : 1. Create a VPC and a subnetwork in europe-west1.2. Expose the application with an internal load balancer.3. Create the new instance in the new subnetwork and use the load balancer's address as the endpoint.

C : 1. Create a subnetwork in the same VPC, in europe-west1.2. Use Cloud VPN to connect the two subnetworks.3. Create the new instance in the new subnetwork and use the first instance's private address as the endpoint.

D : 1. Create a VPC and a subnetwork in europe-west1.2. Peer the 2 VPCs.3. Create the new instance in the new subnetwork and use the first instance's private address as the endpoint.

Answer: C

Question 3

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 4

You are deploying an application to App Engine. You want the number of instances to scale based on request rate. You need at least 3 unoccupied instances at all times. Which scaling type should you use?

A : Manual Scaling with 3 instances.

B : Basic Scaling with min_instances set to 3.

C : Basic Scaling with max_instances set to 3.

D : Automatic Scaling with min_idle_instances set to 3.

Answer: D

Question 5

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.
