Question 1

A customer of yours has an SLA with their client that a particular service will respond within 4 sec-onds. The end client has reported that it feels slower. Your engineers do a trial at the client site and notice that there seems to be a delay for many of the requests. It's your team's responsibility to iden-tify the issue quickly within the strict timeline for fixes according to the contract, and then fix it. What should you do?

ARecommend a move to serverless technologies which will scale automatically on demand.

BAdd logging statements at multiple points in the application, build it, and deploy it. Now new requests will give us information on latency in the logs.

CCheck if the browsers used by the client are different from yours. If they are, that's most likely the issue. Ensure that everybody uses the latest version of the browser that you are also using.

DUse Cloud Trace to collect latency data and track how requests propagate and why there is a delay.

Answer : D

Cloud Trace is a built-in tool in the Operations suite to identify issues like latency.

->Such fixes are unlikely to change core issues like the service itself being architected or written sub-optimally. Though changes like browser, networking, etc. are helpful, it would be the wrong approach to first recommend that the customer upgrade all their hardware and software.

->Rewriting code and logging information is going to be time consuming. In general though, logging should always be included in code and it can give good insights. But tracing is way more specific and comprehensive for this requirement.

->In certain cases, we might identify scaling as the issue. But we should first identify the core problem. So, start with tracing. We can also achieve scale in server-ful technologies.

Question 2

An organization has migrated several large databases to the cloud. It wants to increase the value of its data, improve cost controls and strengthen regulatory compliance. What should the organization do?

ADelete data stored for over a year.

BEstablish an effective data governance program.

CExport relational data to modern NoSQL databases.

DCreate monthly reports on data access and uses.

Answer : B

An effective data governance program helps organizations manage data quality, privacy, and security, ensuring compliance with regulations and optimizing the value derived from data. This approach involves defining policies and procedures for data access, usage, and retention, which improves cost control and strengthens regulatory compliance.

Option B: Establish an effective data governance program is correct because it provides a comprehensive framework for managing data, optimizing value, controlling costs, and ensuring compliance.

Question 3

The operating systems of some of your organization's virtual machines may have a security vulnerability.

How can your organization most effectively identify all virtual machines that do not have the latest security update?

AView the Security Command Center to identify virtual machines running vulnerable disk images

BView the Compliance Reports Manager to identify and download a recent PCI audit

CView the Security Command Center to identify virtual machines started more than 2 weeks ago

DView the Compliance Reports Manager to identify and download a recent SOC 1 audit

Answer : A

Security Health Analytics and Web Security Scanner detectors generate vulnerabilities findings that are available in Security Command Center. Your ability to view and edit findings is determined by the Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles and permissions you are assigned. For more information about IAM roles in Security Command Center.

Question 4

structured data?

ACustomer orders

BProduct ratings

CHistorical stock inventory

DCall center transcripts

Answer : D

Unstructured data refers to data that does not have a pre-defined data model or schema. Examples include text, images, audio, and video files. Call center transcripts are unstructured data because they are composed of free-form text, which does not follow a specific schema or structure.

Option D: Call center transcripts is correct because it represents unstructured data, as opposed to structured data like customer orders or product ratings.

Question 5

A Multiple projects within your organization have long-term VM usage. Based on current demand, they are able to project into the future and estimate how many VM hours they will use every year. Going in for a committed use contract seems sensible. How can you configure committed use easily across all the projects?

AEnable committed use with discount sharing for the projects

BReview the usage of resources by each project on a daily basis. Enable committed use for the following day based on that number, so that it gives maximum granularity without wastage.

CTake a report of each project's use in the last year. Enable committed use on a per-project basis based on the previous year's numbers.

DShare a Google Sheet and request each project team to send in their estimate. Enable committed use accordingly on a per-project basis.

Answer : A

Explanation

Enable committed use discounts are applied to the project from which you purchased it. To share the discount across multiple projects linked to your Cloud Billing account, enable committed use discount sharing from the console. When you enable committed use discount sharing, all of your current active committed use dis-counts in all the projects under the same Cloud Billing account, including those you previously purchased and new ones you purchase in the future are shared across your Cloud Billing account. Your sustained use discounts are also pooled and shared across all projects within your Cloud Billing account.

Question 6

You are a program manager within a Software as a Service (SaaS) company that offers rendering software for animation studios. Your team needs the ability to allow scenes to be scheduled at will and to be interrupted at any time to restart later. Any individual scene rendering takes less than 12 hours to complete, and there is no service-level agreement (SLA) for the completion time for all scenes. Results will be stored in a global Cloud Storage bucket. The compute resources are not bound to any single geographical location. This software needs to run on Google Cloud in a cost-optimized way.

What should you do?

ADeploy the application on Compute Engine using preemptible instances

BDevelop the application so it can run in an unmanaged instance group

CCreate a reservation for the minimum number of Compute Engine instances you will use

DStart more instances with fewer virtual centralized processing units (vCPUs) instead of fewer instances with more vCPUs

Answer : A

Question 7

In Google Cloud IAM: if a policy applied at the project level gives you Owner permissions, your access to an individual resource in that project might be restricted to View permission if someone applies a more restrictive policy directly to that resource. What is correct below the options

AFalse

BNone of the above.

CTrue

DNot defined by GCP.

Answer : A

Policies are a union of those applied to resources themselves and those inherited from higher levels in the hierarchy. If a parent policy is less restrictive, it overrides a more restrictive policy applied to the resource. If a parent policy is more restrictive, it does not override a less restrictive policy applied to the resource. Therefore, access granted at a higher level in the hierarchy cannot be taken away by policies applied at a lower level in the hierarchy.
