Question and Answers

Question 1: Controlling Permissions for Customer Data

  • Question: How to control permissions for users handling customer data on Google Cloud?

  • Options:

    • A: Assign roles

    • B: Use access lists

    • C: Use authentications

    • D: Assign resources

  • Answer: A: Assign roles

    • Explanation: Roles in Cloud Identity manage permissions across applications. Access lists customize access to specific objects rather than general permissions. Authentication (e.g., SAML 2.0) is included in roles. Resources pertain to data structure, not user permissions.

Question 2: Exploring and Visualizing Data

  • Question: Which Google Cloud products can explore and visualize data? (Choose two)

  • Options:

    • A: Cloud Composer

    • B: Data Proc

    • C: Data Lab

    • D: Data Studio

  • Answer: C: Data Lab & D: Data Studio

    • Explanation: Data Lab helps in interactive data exploration with Python/SQL; Data Studio visualizes data with various chart types. Data Proc focuses on data processing and isn't primarily for visualization.

Question 3: Designing Cloud Architecture for Migration

  • Question: What should be done about architecture and deployment for global service and local data regulations?

  • Options:

    • A: Public cloud provider active only in required region

    • B: Private cloud globally replicating data storage

    • C: Public cloud provider guaranteeing data location

    • D: Private cloud active only in required region

  • Answer: C: Select a public cloud provider that guarantees data location in the required geographic area

    • Explanation: This ensures data remains compliant with regulations while allowing global service.

Question 4: Migrate for Compute Engine vs. Migrate for Anthos

  • Question: Key difference between Migrate for Compute Engine and Migrate for Anthos?

  • Options:

    • A: Migrate for Compute Engine charges for data transfer, Anthos does not

    • B: Anthos migrates to containers; Compute Engine to VMs

    • C: Compute Engine has complex setup, Anthos is simple

    • D: Anthos needs manual OS upgrades, Compute is managed

  • Answer: B: Migrate for Anthos migrates to containers; Migrate for Compute Engine migrates to virtual machines

    • Explanation: Different target environments guide their usage.

Question 5: Cost-Effective Computing Resources

  • Question: Most cost-effective resource use when needing extra power temporarily?

  • Options:

    • A: Committed use discount for powerful VM

    • B: Purchase powerful physical computer

    • C: Start powerful VM without committed discount

    • D: Purchase multiple physical computers

  • Answer: C: Start a very powerful virtual machine without using a committed use discount

    • Explanation: Committed use is financially binding; a short-term VM is the most flexible option.

Question 6: Reducing BigQuery TCO

  • Question: Which operations reduce total cost of ownership for BigQuery? (Choose three)

  • Options:

    • A: Caching queries

    • B: Batch loading data from local

    • C: Running queries on external sources

    • D: Deleting tables, views, or user-defined functions

  • Answer: A, B, C

    • Explanation: Caching, batch loading, and external queries reduce costs; charges apply only for processing data.

Question 7: Cloud Infrastructure Expenditures

  • Question: How should organizations plan their cloud infrastructure spending?

  • Options:

    • A: Review costs frequently

    • B: Annual review of costs

    • C: No costs if only using Cloud

    • D: Involve fewer people than on-premise planning

  • Answer: A: Review Cloud resources cost frequently

    • Explanation: Cloud costs fluctuate with usage. Regular reviews are essential for financial governance.

Question 8: Software Developer's Contribution to Site Reliability Engineering

  • Question: How can developers contribute?

  • Options:

    • A: Allocate tasks to operations

    • B: Manually configure systems

    • C: Implement automation

    • D: Create static solutions

  • Answer: C: By focusing on implementing automation

    • Explanation: Automation is key for site reliability, optimizing processes beyond manual configurations.

Question 9: Identifying Security Vulnerabilities in Virtual Machines

  • Question: How to identify security vulnerabilities in VMs?

  • Options:

    • A: Single project for all environments

    • B: Single project with tags

    • C: Separate projects for dev and prod

    • D: Two projects for each region

  • Answer: C: Create one project for development and one for production

    • Explanation: Separate projects enhance control and security management.
