  2. To get resources from a cloud computing provider, is working with a person at the provider required?: No
  3. Why might a GCP customer use resources in several zones within a region?: For improved fault tolerance Correct. As part of building a fault-tolerant application, you can spread your resources across multiple zones in a region.
  4. Why might a GCP customer use resources in several regions around the world?: To bring their applications closer to users around the world, and for improved fault tolerance
  5. Choose fundamental characteristics of cloud computing. Mark all that are correct (4 correct responses).: - Customers pay only for what they use or reserve

  • Customers can scale their resource use up and down
  • Computing resources available on-demand and self-service
  • Resources are available from anywhere over the network
  1. Choose a fundamental characteristic of devices in a virtualized data center.: - They are manageable separately from the underlying hardware.
  2. What type of cloud computing service lets you bind your application code to libraries that give access to the infrastructure your application needs?: Platform as a Service
  3. What type of cloud computing service provides raw compute, storage, and network, organized in ways that are familiar from physical data centers?: Infra- structure as a Service
  4. Which statement is true about the zones within a region?: The zones within a region have fast network connectivity among them.
  5. What kind of customer benefits most from billing by the second for cloud resources such as virtual machines?: Customers who create and run many virtual machines
  6. Choose the correct completion: Services and APIs are enabled on a per- basis.: Project

  1. When would you choose to have an organization node? (Choose all that are correct. Choose 2 responses.): - When you want to create folders. Explain: "Correct! Folders require an organization node. Organization nodes are optional, but if you want to create folders, having one is mandatory."
  • When you want to apply organization-wide policies centrally. Explain: "Correct! Organization nodes let you apply policies centrally. Organization nodes are optional, but if you want to define policies that apply to all the projects in your organization, having one is mandatory."
  1. Order these IAM role types from broadest to finest-grained.: Primitive roles, prede- fined roles, custom roles
  2. Can IAM policies that are implemented higher in the resource hierarchy take away access that is granted by lower-level policies?: No Expalain: "Policies implemented at a higher level in the hierarchy can't take away access that's granted at lower level. For example, suppose that a policy applied on a project gives user Jane the right to modify a Cloud Storage bucket. But a policy at

5 / the organization level says that she can only view Cloud Storage buckets, not change them. The more generous policy is the one that takes ettect. Jane can modify the bucket."

  1. True or False: 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.: False Explain: "Correct! Policies are a union of those applied on resource itself and those inherited from higher levels in the hierarchy. If a parent policy is less restrictive, it overrides a more restrictive policy applied on the resource. If a parent policy is more restrictive, it does not override a less restrictive policy applied on 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."
  2. True or False: All Google Cloud Platform resources are associated with a project.: True "Correct! All Google Cloud Platform resources are associated with a project."
  3. Service accounts are used to provide which of the following? (Choose all that are correct. Choose 3 responses.): - Authentication between Google Cloud Platform services
  • A way to restrict the actions a resource (such as a VM) can perform

7 /

  1. True or false? In Google Cloud VPCs, subnets have regional scope.: True
  2. True or false: If you increase the size of a subnet in a custom VPC network, the IP addresses of virtual machines already on that subnet might be affected.: False
  3. True or false: You can create Compute Engine virtual machines from the command line.: True
  4. What is the main reason customers choose Preemptible VMs?: To reduce cost.
  5. True or False: Google Cloud Load Balancing allows you to balance HTTP-based traffic across multiple Compute Engine regions.: True
  6. Which statement is true about Google VPC networks and subnets?: Networks are global; subnets are regional
  7. An application running in a Compute Engine virtual machine needs high-per- formance scratch space. Which type of storage meets this need?: Local SSD
  8. Choose an application that would be suitable for running in a

8 / Preemptible VM.: A batch job that can be checkpointed and restarted

  1. How do Compute Engine customers choose between big VMs and many VMs?: Use big VMs for in-memory databases and CPU-intensive analytics; use many VMs for fault tolerance and elasticity
  2. How do VPC routers and firewalls work?: - They are managed by Google as a built-in feature.
  3. A GCP customer wants to load-balance traffic among the back-end VMs that form part of a multi-tier application. Which load-balancing option should this customer choose?: The regional internal load balancer
  4. For which of these interconnect options is a Service Level Agreement avail- able?: Dedicated Interconnect

  2. Why would a customer consider the Coldline storage class?: To save

10 / Explain: Correct! Each Cloud SQL database is configured at creation time for either MySQL or PostgreSQL. Cloud Spanner uses ANSI SQL 2011 with extensions.
