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?
For this question, refer to the Mountkirk Games case study.
Mountkirk Games' gaming servers are not automatically scaling properly. Last month, they rolled out a new feature, which suddenly became very popular. A record number of users are trying to use the service, but many of them are getting 503 errors and very slow response times. What should they investigate first?
For this question, refer to the Helicopter Racing League (HRL) case study. HRL is looking for a cost-effective
approach for storing their race data such as telemetry. They want to keep all historical records, train models
using only the previous season's data, and plan for data growth in terms of volume and information collected.
You need to propose a data solution. Considering HRL business requirements and the goals expressed by
CEO S. Hawke, what should you do?
For this question, refer to the Helicopter Racing League (HRL) case study. The HRL development team
releases a new version of their predictive capability application every Tuesday evening at 3 a.m. UTC to a
repository. The security team at HRL has developed an in-house penetration test Cloud Function called Airwolf.
The security team wants to run Airwolf against the predictive capability application as soon as it is released
every Tuesday. You need to set up Airwolf to run at the recurring weekly cadence. What should you do?
For this question, refer to the Helicopter Racing League (HRL) case study. Your team is in charge of creating a
payment card data vault for card numbers used to bill tens of thousands of viewers, merchandise consumers,
and season ticket holders. You need to implement a custom card tokenization service that meets the following
requirements:
• It must provide low latency at minimal cost.
• It must be able to identify duplicate credit cards and must not store plaintext card numbers.
• It should support annual key rotation.
Which storage approach should you adopt for your tokenization service?
You are managing several projects on Google Cloud and need to interact on a daily basis with BigQuery, Bigtable and Kubernetes Engine using the gcloud CLI tool You are travelling a lot and work on different workstations during the week You want to avoid having to manage the gcloud CLI manually What should you do?
You are running a cluster on Kubernetes Engine to serve a web application. Users are reporting that a specific part of the application is not responding anymore. You notice that all pods of your deployment keep restarting after 2 seconds. The application writes logs to standard output. You want to inspect the logs to find the cause of the issue. Which approach can you take?
You have created several preemptible Linux virtual machine instances using Google Compute Engine. You want to properly shut down your application before the virtual machines are preempted. What should you do?
You set up an autoscaling instance group to serve web traffic for an upcoming launch. After configuring the instance group as a backend service to an HTTP(S) load balancer, you notice that virtual machine (VM) instances are being terminated and re-launched every minute. The instances do not have a public IP address. You have verified the appropriate web response is coming from each instance using the curl command. You want to ensure the backend is configured correctly. What should you do?
You are working at a financial institution that stores mortgage loan approval documents on Cloud Storage. Any change to these approval documents must be uploaded as a separate approval file, so you want to ensure that these documents cannot be deleted or overwritten for the next 5 years. What should you do?
