Options:

1. Create a configuration for each project you need to manage.2. Activate the appropriate configuration when you work with each of your assigned GCP projects.

1. Create a configuration for each project you need to manage.2. Use gcloud init to update the configuration values when you need to work with a non-default project

1. Use the default configuration for one project you need to manage.2. Activate the appropriate configuration when you work with each of your assigned GCP projects.

1. Use the default configuration for one project you need to manage.2. Use gcloud init to update the configuration values when you need to work with a non-default project.

Questions # 24:

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?

Options:

Create a Cloud Memorystore for Redis instance with 32-GB capacity.

Run it on Compute Engine, and choose a custom instance type with 6 vCPUs and 32 GB of memory.

Package it in a container image, and run it on Kubernetes Engine, using n1-standard-32 instances as nodes.

Run it on Compute Engine, choose the instance type n1-standard-1, and add an SSD persistent disk of 32 GB.

Questions # 25:

Your organization has decided to deploy all its compute workloads to Kubernetes on Google Cloud and two other cloud providers. You want to build an infrastructure-as-code solution to automate the provisioning process for all cloud resources. What should you do?

Options:

Build the solution by using YAML manifests, and provision the resources.

Build the solution by using Terraform, and provision the resources.

Build the solution by using Python and the cloud SDKs from all providers to provision the resources.

Build the solution by using Config Connector, and provision the resources.

Answer

Explanation

The requirement is for an infrastructure-as-code (IaC) solution that can manage Kubernetes resources and other cloud resources across multiple cloud providers (Google Cloud and two others).

Option A (YAML manifests): YAML manifests are primarily used for defining Kubernetes objects, not for provisioning general cloud resources (like VPCs, IAM policies, databases) across different cloud providers.

Option C (Python + SDKs): While possible, writing custom scripts using each provider's SDK requires significant development effort to handle state management, dependencies, and provider differences. It essentially reinvents much of what dedicated IaC tools provide and is not a standard IaC approach.

Option D (Config Connector): Config Connector allows managing Google Cloud resources using Kubernetes-style manifests and APIs. It is specific to Google Cloud and cannot manage resources in other cloud providers.

Option B (Terraform): Terraform is an open-source IaC tool explicitly designed for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently across multiple cloud providers and on-premises data centers. It uses providers for different platforms (GCP, AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, etc.), allowing a unified workflow to manage diverse resources across the required environments (Google Cloud, other clouds, Kubernetes).

Terraform is the standard tool for multi-cloud IaC automation as described in the scenario.

Questions # 26:

You have developed a containerized web application that will serve Internal colleagues during business hours. You want to ensure that no costs are incurred outside of the hours the application is used. You have just created a new Google Cloud project and want to deploy the application. What should you do?

Options:

Deploy the container on Cloud Run for Anthos, and set the minimum number of instances to zero

Deploy the container on Cloud Run (fully managed), and set the minimum number of instances to zero.

Deploy the container on App Engine flexible environment with autoscaling. and set the value min_instances to zero in the app yaml

Deploy the container on App Engine flexible environment with manual scaling, and set the value instances to zero in the app yaml

Questions # 27:

Your learn wants to deploy a specific content management system (CMS) solution lo Google Cloud. You need a quick and easy way to deploy and install the solution. What should you do?

Options:

Search for the CMS solution in Google Cloud Marketplace. Use gcloud CLI to deploy the solution.

Search for the CMS solution in Google Cloud Marketplace. Deploy the solution directly from Cloud Marketplace.

Search for the CMS solution in Google Cloud Marketplace. Use Terraform and the Cloud Marketplace ID to deploy the solution with the appropriate parameters.
