Question No. 1

Your customer wants you to create a secure website with autoscaling based on the compute instance CPU load. You want to enhance performance by storing static content in Cloud Storage. Which resources are needed to distribute the user traffic?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: C

An external HTTP(S) load balancer is a Google-recommended solution for distributing web traffic across multiple regions and zones, and providing high availability, scalability, and security for web applications. It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, and can handle SSL/TLS termination and encryption. It also integrates with Cloud CDN, Cloud Armor, and Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy for enhanced performance and protection. A managed instance group (MIG) can be used as a backend service for the HTTP(S) load balancer, and can automatically scale the number of VM instances based on the CPU load. A Cloud Storage bucket can also be used as a backend service for the HTTP(S) load balancer, and can serve static content such as images, videos, or HTML files. A URL map can be used to route requests to different backend services based on the path or host of the request. For example, a URL map can send requests for/static/*to the Cloud Storage bucket, and requests for/dynamic/*to the MIG. A managed SSL certificate can be used to secure the connection between the clients and the load balancer, and can be automatically provisioned and renewed by Google.

A is incorrect because an internal HTTP(S) load balancer is only visible within a VPC network, and not to the public internet. It is used for internal applications that need to communicate with other internal services. Identity-Aware Proxy is a service that provides secure access to web applications without using a VPN. It is not a load balancer, and it does not distribute user traffic.

B is incorrect because installing HTTPS certificates on the instance is not necessary, as the HTTP(S) load balancer can handle SSL/TLS termination and encryption. It is also more complex and less secure to manage the certificates on the instance level, as they need to be updated and synchronized across multiple instances.

D is incorrect because an external network load balancer is a TCP/UDP load balancer that operates at the network layer. It is not suitable for web applications that use HTTP(S) protocols, as it does not support SSL/TLS termination and encryption, URL maps, or Cloud Storage backends. It is also less efficient and scalable to forward the requests to the Cloud Storage from the web servers, as it adds an extra hop and latency.

Question No. 2

You are working with a user to set up an application in a new VPC behind a firewall. The user is concerned about data egress. You want to configure the fewest open egress ports. What should you do?

Question No. 3

You are in charge of provisioning access for all Google Cloud users in your organization. Your company recently acquired a startup company that has their own Google Cloud organization. You need to ensure that your Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) have the same project permissions in the startup company's organization as in your own organization. What should you do?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: D

https://cloud.google.com/architecture/best-practices-vpc-design#shared-service Cloud VPN is another alternative. Because Cloud VPN establishes reachability through managed IPsec tunnels, it doesn't have the aggregate limits of VPC Network Peering. Cloud VPN uses a VPN Gateway for connectivity and doesn't consider the aggregate resource use of the IPsec peer. The drawbacks of Cloud VPN include increased costs (VPN tunnels and traffic egress), management overhead required to maintain tunnels, and the performance overhead of IPsec.


Question No. 4

Your company uses BigQuery to store and analyze dat

a. Upon submitting your query in BigQuery, the query fails with a quotaExceeded error. You need to diagnose the issue causing the error. What should you do?

Choose 2 answers

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A, C

When encountering a quotaExceeded error in BigQuery, you should follow these steps to diagnose and mitigate the issue:

Understand the Error:

The error message indicates that a quota was exceeded (either a short-term rate limit or a longer-term limit).

The response payload contains information about which quota was reached.

Quotas can fall into two categories:

rateLimitExceeded: Short-term limits. Retry the operation after a few seconds using exponential backoff.

quotaExceeded: Longer-term limits. Wait 10 minutes or longer before retrying the operation.

Search Errors in Cloud Audit Logs(Option A):

Cloud Audit Logs provide detailed information about API requests and responses.

By searching the logs, you can identify the specific API call that triggered the quotaExceeded error.

This helps you understand which resource or operation exceeded the quota.

View Errors in Cloud Monitoring(Option C):

Cloud Monitoring (formerly known as Stackdriver) provides insights into your Google Cloud resources.

Check the monitoring dashboard for any alerts related to BigQuery quotas.

You can set up custom monitoring rules to track specific quotas and receive notifications.

Other Options:

B . Configure Cloud Trace: Cloud Trace is used for performance analysis and latency tracking. It's not directly related to quota issues.

D . Use Information Schema Views: Information schema views provide metadata about your datasets and tables but won't help diagnose quota errors.

E . Use BigQuery Bl Engine: There is no such tool called ''BigQuery Bl Engine.'' This option is invalid.

Remember that some quotas replenish incrementally over a 24-hour period, so you don't always need to wait a full 24 hours after reaching the limit.If you consistently hit longer-term quotas, consider workload optimization or requesting a quota increase


Question No. 5

(You are deploying a web application using Compute Engine. You created a managed instance group (MIG) to host the application. You want to follow Google-recommended practices to implement a secure and highly available solution. What should you do?)

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: D

For a web application (typically using HTTP/HTTPS), an Application Load Balancer is the recommended choice as it operates at Layer 7, providing features like content-based routing, SSL termination, and improved security. To expose the application publicly, you would need to use a public DNS zone. An A record in a public DNS zone maps a domain name to the public IP address of the Application Load Balancer. Using a CNAME record would also work but is generally recommended for aliasing one domain name to another, not directly to an IP address.

Option A & B: Network Load Balancers operate at Layer 4 (TCP/UDP) and lack the application-level features of an Application Load Balancer. Private DNS zones are for internal name resolution within your VPC, not for public access.

Option C: While an Application Load Balancer is the correct type, using a private DNS zone wouldn't make the web application publicly accessible.
