Your company uses Cloud Logging to manage large volumes of log data. You need to build a real-time log analysis architecture that pushes logs to a third-party application for processing. What should you do?

You are developing a new public-facing application that needs to retrieve specific properties in the metadata of users’ objects in their respective Cloud Storage buckets. Due to privacy and data residency requirements, you must retrieve only the metadata and not the object data. You want to maximize the performance of the retrieval process. How should you retrieve the metadata?

You are deploying a microservices application to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) that will broadcast livestreams. You expect unpredictable traffic patterns and large variations in the number of concurrent users. Your application must meet the following requirements: • Scales automatically during popular events and maintains high availability • Is resilient in the event of hardware failures How should you configure the deployment parameters? (Choose two.)

You work at a rapidly growing financial technology startup. You manage the payment processing application written in Go and hosted on Cloud Run in the Singapore region (asia-southeast1). The payment processing application processes data stored in a Cloud Storage bucket that is also located in the Singapore region. The startup plans to expand further into the Asia Pacific region. You plan to deploy the Payment Gateway in Jakarta, Hong Kong, and Taiwan over the next six months. Each location has data residency requirements that require customer data to reside in the country where the transaction was made. You want to minimize the cost of these deployments. What should you do?

You recently joined a new team that has a Cloud Spanner database instance running in production. Your manager has asked you to optimize the Spanner instance to reduce cost while maintaining high reliability and availability of the database. What should you do?

You recently deployed a Go application on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). The operations team has noticed that the application's CPU usage is high even when there is low production traffic. The operations team has asked you to optimize your application's CPU resource consumption. You want to determine which Go functions consume the largest amount of CPU. What should you do?

Your team manages a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster where an application is running. A different team is planning to integrate with this application. Before they start the integration, you need to ensure that the other team cannot make changes to your application, but they can deploy the integration on GKE. What should you do?

You have recently instrumented a new application with OpenTelemetry, and you want to check the latency of your application requests in Trace. You want to ensure that a specific request is always traced. What should you do?

You are trying to connect to your Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster using kubectl from Cloud Shell. You have deployed your GKE cluster with a public endpoint. From Cloud Shell, you run the following command: You notice that the kubectl commands time out without returning an error message. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

You are developing a web application that contains private images and videos stored in a Cloud Storage bucket. Your users are anonymous and do not have Google Accounts. You want to use your application-specific logic to control access to the images and videos. How should you configure access?

You need to configure a Deployment on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). You want to include a check that verifies that the containers can connect to the database. If the Pod is failing to connect, you want a script on the container to run to complete a graceful shutdown. How should you configure the Deployment?

You are responsible for deploying a new API. That API will have three different URL paths: • https://yourcompany.com/students • https://yourcompany.com/teachers • https://yourcompany.com/classes You need to configure each API URL path to invoke a different function in your code. What should you do?

You are deploying a microservices application to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). The application will receive daily updates. You expect to deploy a large number of distinct containers that will run on the Linux operating system (OS). You want to be alerted to any known OS vulnerabilities in the new containers. You want to follow Google-recommended best practices. What should you do?

You are a developer at a large organization. You have an application written in Go running in a production Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster. You need to add a new feature that requires access to BigQuery. You want to grant BigQuery access to your GKE cluster following Google-recommended best practices. What should you do?

You have an application written in Python running in production on Cloud Run. Your application needs to read/write data stored in a Cloud Storage bucket in the same project. You want to grant access to your application following the principle of least privilege. What should you do?

Your team is developing unit tests for Cloud Function code. The code is stored in a Cloud Source Repositories repository. You are responsible for implementing the tests. Only a specific service account has the necessary permissions to deploy the code to Cloud Functions. You want to ensure that the code cannot be deployed without first passing the tests. How should you configure the unit testing process?

Your team detected a spike of errors in an application running on Cloud Run in your production project. The application is configured to read messages from Pub/Sub topic A, process the messages, and write the messages to topic B. You want to conduct tests to identify the cause of the errors. You can use a set of mock messages for testing. What should you do?

You are developing a Java Web Server that needs to interact with Google Cloud services via the Google Cloud API on the user's behalf. Users should be able to authenticate to the Google Cloud API using their Google Cloud identities. Which workflow should you implement in your web application?

You recently developed a new application. You want to deploy the application on Cloud Run without a Dockerfile. Your organization requires that all container images are pushed to a centrally managed container repository. How should you build your container using Google Cloud services? (Choose two.)

You work for an organization that manages an online ecommerce website. Your company plans to expand across the world; however, the estore currently serves one specific region. You need to select a SQL database and configure a schema that will scale as your organization grows.
