Question 1

You are building a pipeline to process time-series data. Which Google Cloud Platform services should you put in boxes 1,2,3, and 4?

Options :

A : Cloud Pub/Sub, Cloud Dataflow, Cloud Datastore, BigQuery

B : Firebase Messages, Cloud Pub/Sub, Cloud Spanner, BigQuery

C : Cloud Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage, BigQuery, Cloud Bigtable

D : Cloud Pub/Sub, Cloud Dataflow, Cloud Bigtable, BigQuery

Answer: D

Question 2

You are migrating a production-critical on-premises application that requires 96 vCPUs to perform its task. You want to make sure the application runs in a similar environment on GCP. What should you do?

Options :

A : When creating the VM, use machine type n1-standard-96.

B : When creating the VM, use Intel Skylake as the CPU platform.

C :

Create the VM using Compute Engine default settings. Use gcloud to modify the running instance to have 96 vCPUs.

D :

Start the VM using Compute Engine default settings, and adjust as you go based on Rightsizing Recommendations.

Answer: A

Question 3

Your company publishes large files on an Apache web server that runs on a Compute Engine instance. The Apache web server is not the only application running in the project. You want to receive an email when the egress network costs for the server exceed 100 dollars for the current month as measured by Google Cloud Platform (GCP). What should you do?

Options :

A :

Set up a budget alert on the project with an amount of 100 dollars, a threshold of 100%, and notification type of “email.”

B :

Set up a budget alert on the billing account with an amount of 100 dollars, a threshold of 100%, and notification type of “email.”

C :

Export the billing data to BigQuery. Create a Cloud Function that uses BigQuery to sum the egress network costs of the exported billing data for the Apache web server for the current month and sends an email if it is over 100 dollars. Schedule the Cloud Function using Cloud Scheduler to run hourly.

D :

Use the Stackdriver Logging Agent to export the Apache web server logs to Stackdriver Logging. Create a Cloud Function that uses BigQuery to parse the HTTP response log data in Stackdriver for the current month and sends an email if the size of all HTTP responses, multiplied by current GCP egress prices, totals over 100 dollars. Schedule the Cloud Function using Cloud Scheduler to run hourly

Answer: C

Question 4

You built an application on your development laptop that uses Google Cloud services. Your application uses Application Default Credentials for authentication and works fine on your development laptop. You want to migrate this application to a Compute Engine virtual machine (VM) and set up authentication using Googlerecommended practices and minimal changes. What should you do?

Options :

A : Assign appropriate access for Google services to the service account used by the Compute Engine VM.

B :

Create a service account with appropriate access for Google services, and configure the application to use this account.

C :

Store credentials for service accounts with appropriate access for Google services in a config file, and deploy this config file with your application.

D :

Store credentials for your user account with appropriate access for Google services in a config file, and deploy this config file with your application.

Answer: B

Question 5

You are planning to migrate your on-premises data to Google Cloud. The data includes: • 200 TB of video files in SAN storage • Data warehouse data stored on Amazon Redshift • 20 GB of PNG files stored on an S3 bucket You need to load the video files into a Cloud Storage bucket, transfer the data warehouse data into BigQuery, and load the PNG files into a second Cloud Storage bucket. You want to follow Google-recommended practices and avoid writing any code for the migration. What should you do?

Options :

A :

Use gcloud storage for the video files. Dataflow for the data warehouse data, and Storage Transfer Service for the PNG files.

B :

Use Transfer Appliance for the videos. BigQuery Data Transfer Service for the data warehouse data, and Storage Transfer Service for the PNG files.

C :

Use Storage Transfer Service for the video files, BigQuery Data Transfer Service for the data warehouse data, and Storage Transfer Service for the PNG files.

D :

Use Cloud Data Fusion for the video files, Dataflow for the data warehouse data, and Storage Transfer Service for the PNG files.
