Question 226

For this question, refer to the Mountkirk Games case study. Mountkirk Games wants to migrate from their current analytics and statistics reporting model to one that meets their technical requirements on Google Cloud Platform.
Which two steps should be part of their migration plan? (Choose two.)

A.Evaluate the impact of migrating their current batch ETL code to Cloud Dataflow.
B.Write a schema migration plan to denormalize data for better performance in BigQuery.
C.Draw an architecture diagram that shows how to move from a single MySQL database to a MySQL cluster.
D.Load 10 TB of analytics data from a previous game into a Cloud SQL instance, and run test queries against the full dataset to confirm that they complete successfully.
E.Integrate Cloud Armor to defend against possible SQL injection attacks in analytics files uploaded to Cloud Storage.

Question 227

An application development team believes their current logging tool will not meet their needs for their new cloud-based product. They want a bettor tool to capture errors and help them analyze their historical log data.
You want to help them find a solution that meets their needs, what should you do?

A.Direct them to download and install the Google StackDriver logging agent.
B.Send them a list of online resources about logging best practices.
C.Help them define their requirements and assess viable logging tools.
D.Help them upgrade their current tool to take advantage of any new features.

Question 228

For this question, refer to the Mountkirk Games case study
Mountkirk Games needs to create a repeatable and configurable mechanism for deploying isolated application environments. Developers and testers can access each other's environments and resources, but they cannot access staging or production resources. The staging environment needs access to some services from production.
What should you do to isolate development environments from staging and production?

A.Create a project for development and test and another for staging and production.
B.Create a network for development and test and another for staging and production.
C.Create one subnetwork for development and another for staging and production.
D.Create one project for development, a second for staging and a third for production.

Question 229

TerramEarth has about 1 petabyte (PB) of vehicle testing data in a private data center. You want to move the data to Cloud Storage for your machine learning team. Currently, a 1-Gbps interconnect link is available for you. The machine learning team wants to start using the data in a month. What should you do?

A.Request Transfer Appliances from Google Cloud, export the data to appliances, and return the appliances to Google Cloud.
B.Configure the Storage Transfer service from Google Cloud to send the data from your data center to Cloud Storage
C.Make sure there are no other users consuming the 1 Gbps link, and use multi-thread transfer to upload the data to Cloud Storage.
D.Export files to an encrypted USB device, send the device to Google Cloud, and request an import of the data to Cloud Storage

Correct Answer: A

Topic 7, Mountkrik Games Case 2
Company Overview
Mountkirk Games makes online, session-based, multiplayer games for mobile platforms. They build all of their games using some server-side integration. Historically, they have used cloud providers to lease physical servers.
Due to the unexpected popularity of some of their games, they have had problems scaling their global audience, application servers, MySQL databases, and analytics tools.
Their current model is to write game statistics to files and send them through an ETL tool that loads them into a centralized MySQL database for reporting.
Solution Concept
Mountkirk Games is building a new game, which they expect to be very popular. They plan to deploy the game's backend on Google Compute Engine so they can capture streaming metrics, run intensive analytics, and take advantage of its autoscaling server environment and integrate with a managed NoSQL database.
Business Requirements
Increase to a global footprint.
Improve uptime - downtime is loss of players.
Increase efficiency of the cloud resources we use.
Reduce latency to all customers.
Technical Requirements
Requirements for Game Backend Platform
Dynamically scale up or down based on game activity.
Connect to a transactional database service to manage user profiles and game state.
Store game activity in a timeseries database service for future analysis.
As the system scales, ensure that data is not lost due to processing backlogs.
Run hardened Linux distro.
Requirements for Game Analytics Platform
Dynamically scale up or down based on game activity
Process incoming data on the fly directly from the game servers
Process data that arrives late because of slow mobile networks
Allow queries to access at least 10 TB of historical data
Process files that are regularly uploaded by users' mobile devices
Executive Statement
Our last successful game did not scale well with our previous cloud provider, resulting in lower user adoption and affecting the game's reputation. Our investors want more key performance indicators (KPIs) to evaluate the speed and stability of the game, as well as other metrics that provide deeper insight into usage patterns so we can adapt the game to target users. Additionally, our current technology stack cannot provide the scale we need, so we want to replace MySQL and move to an environment that provides autoscaling, low latency load balancing, and frees us up from managing physical servers.

Question 230

You are designing an application for use only during business hours. For the minimum viable product release, you'd like to use a managed product that automatically "scales to zero" so you don't incur costs when there is no activity.
Which primary compute resource should you choose?

A.Cloud Functions
B.Compute Engine
C.Kubernetes Engine
D.AppEngine flexible environment
