Question 46

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.

Question 47

Your web application is hosted on Cloud Run and needs to query a Cloud SQL database. Every morning during a traffic spike, you notice API quota errors in Cloud SQL logs. The project has already reached the maximum API quota. You want to make a configuration change to mitigate the issue. What should you do?

A.Modify the minimum number of Cloud Run instances.
B.Use traffic splitting.
C.Modify the maximum number of Cloud Run instances.
D.Set a minimum concurrent requests environment variable for the application.

Question 48

You need to produce a list of the enabled Google Cloud Platform APIs for a GCP project using the gcloud command line in the Cloud Shell. The project name is my-project. What should you do?

A.Run gcloud projects describe <project ID>to verify the project value, and then run gcloud services list --available.
B.Run gcloud projects listto get the project ID, and then run gcloud services list -
-project <project ID>.
C.Run gcloud initto set the current project to my-project, and then run gcloud services list --available.
D.Run gcloud infoto view the account value, and then run gcloud services list -- account <Account>.

Question 49

You want to configure 10 Compute Engine instances for availability when maintenance occurs. Your requirements state that these instances should attempt to automatically restart if they crash. Also, the instances should be highly available including during system maintenance. What should you do?

A.Create an instance template for the instances. Set the 'Automatic Restart' to on. Set the 'On-host maintenance' to Migrate VM instance. Add the instance template to an instance group.
B.Create an instance template for the instances. Set 'Automatic Restart' to off. Set 'On-host maintenance' to Terminate VM instances. Add the instance template to an instance group.
C.Create an instance group for the instances. Set the 'Autohealing' health check to healthy (HTTP).
D.Create an instance group for the instance. Verify that the 'Advanced creation options' setting for 'do not retry machine creation' is set to off.

Correct Answer: A

Create an instance template for the instances so VMs have same specs.
Set the 'Automatic Restart' to on to VM automatically restarts upon crash. Set the "~On-host maintenance' to Migrate VM instance.
This will take care of VM during maintenance window. It will migrate VM instance making it highly available Add the instance template to an instance group so instances can be managed.
* onHostMaintenance: Determines the behavior when a maintenance event occurs that might cause your instance to reboot.
* [Default] MIGRATE, which causes Compute Engine to live migrate an instance when there is a maintenance event.
* TERMINATE, which stops an instance instead of migrating it.
* automaticRestart: Determines the behavior when an instance crashes or is stopped by the system.
* [Default] true, so Compute Engine restarts an instance if the instance crashes or is stopped.
* false, so Compute Engine does not restart an instance if the instance crashes or is stopped.
Enabling automatic restart ensures that compute engine instances are automatically restarted when they crash. And Enabling Migrate VM Instance enables live migrates i.e. compute instances are migrated during system maintenance and remain running during the migration.
Automatic Restart If your instance is set to terminate when there is a maintenance event, or if your instance crashes because of an underlying hardware issue, you can set up Compute Engine to automatically restart the instance by setting the automaticRestart field to true. This setting does not apply if the instance is taken offline through a user action, such as calling sudo shutdown, or during a zone outage. Ref: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/setting-instance-scheduling-options#autorestart Enabling the Migrate VM Instance option migrates your instance away from an infrastructure maintenance event, and your instance remains running during the migration. Your instance might experience a short period of decreased performance, although generally, most instances should not notice any difference. This is ideal for instances that require constant uptime and can tolerate a short period of decreased performance.

Question 50

Your company has a large quantity of unstructured data in different file formats. You want to perform ETL transformations on the data. You need to make the data accessible on Google Cloud so it can be processed by a Dataflow job. What should you do?

A.Upload the data to Cloud Storage using the gcloud storage command.
B.Upload the data into Cloud SQL using the import function in the Google Cloud console.
C.Upload the data into Cloud Spanner using the import function in the Google Cloud console.
D.Upload the data to BigQuery using the bq command line tool.
