You have an application that uses Cloud Spanner as a database backend to keep current state information about users. Cloud Bigtable logs all events triggered by users. You export Cloud Spanner data to Cloud Storage during daily backups. One of your analysts asks you to join data from Cloud Spanner and Cloud Bigtable for specific users. You want to complete this ad hoc request as efficiently as possible.
What should you do?

  1. Create a dataflow job that copies data from Cloud Bigtable and Cloud Storage for specific users.
  2. Create a dataflow job that copies data from Cloud Bigtable and Cloud Spanner for specific users.
  3. Create a Cloud Dataproc cluster that runs a Spark job to extract data from Cloud Bigtable and Cloud Storage for specific users.
  4. Create two separate BigQuery external tables on Cloud Storage and Cloud Bigtable. Use the BigQuery console to join these tables through user fields, and apply appropriate filters.

You are hosting an application from Compute Engine virtual machines (VMs) in us­central1­a. You want to adjust your design to support the failure of a single Compute Engine zone, eliminate downtime, and minimize cost.
What should you do?

  1. ­ Create Compute Engine resources in us­central1­b.
    ­ Balance the load across both us­central1­a and us­central1­b.
  2. ­ Create a Managed Instance Group and specify us­central1­a as the zone.
    ­ Configure the Health Check with a short Health Interval.
  3. ­ Create an HTTP(S) Load Balancer.
    ­ Create one or more global forwarding rules to direct traffic to your VMs.
  4. ­ Perform regular backups of your application.
    ­ Create a Cloud Monitoring Alert and be notified if your application becomes unavailable.

You are running multiple VPC-native Google Kubernetes Engine clusters in the same subnet. The IPs available for the nodes are exhausted, and you want to ensure that the clusters can grow in nodes when needed.
What should you do?

  1. Create a new subnet in the same region as the subnet being used.
  2. Add an alias IP range to the subnet used by the GKE clusters.
  3. Create a new VPC, and set up VPC peering with the existing VP
  4. Expand the CIDR range of the relevant subnet for the cluster.

Answer(s): D

You have a batch workload that runs every night and uses a large number of virtual machines (VMs). It is fault- tolerant and can tolerate some of the VMs being terminated. The current cost of VMs is too high.
What should you do?

  1. Run a test using simulated maintenance events. If the test is successful, use preemptible N1 Standard VMs when running future jobs.
  2. Run a test using simulated maintenance events. If the test is successful, use N1 Standard VMs when running future jobs.
  3. Run a test using a managed instance group. If the test is successful, use N1 Standard VMs in the managed instance group when running future jobs.
  4. Run a test using N1 standard VMs instead of N2. If the test is successful, use N1 Standard VMs when running future jobs.

Answer(s): A
