You want to configure 10 Compute Engine instances for availability when maintenance occurs. Your requirements state that these instances should attempt to automatically restart if they crash. Also, the instances should be highly available including during system maintenance.
What should you do?

  1. Create an instance template for the instances. Set the `Automatic Restart' to on. Set the `On-host maintenance' to Migrate VM instance. Add the instance template to an instance group.
  2. Create an instance template for the instances. Set `Automatic Restart' to off. Set `On-host maintenance' to Terminate VM instances. Add the instance template to an instance group.
  3. Create an instance group for the instances. Set the `Autohealing' health check to healthy (HTTP).
  4. Create an instance group for the instance. Verify that the `Advanced creation options' setting for `do not retry machine creation' is set to off.

You host a static website on Cloud Storage. Recently, you began to include links to PDF files on this site. Currently, when users click on the links to these PDF files, their browsers prompt them to save the file onto their local system. Instead, you want the clicked PDF files to be displayed within the browser window directly, without prompting the user to save the file locally.
What should you do?

  1. Enable Cloud CDN on the website frontend.
  2. Enable `Share publicly' on the PDF file objects.
  3. Set Content-Type metadata to application/pdf on the PDF file objects.
  4. Add a label to the storage bucket with a key of Content-Type and value of application/pdf.

Answer(s): C

You have a virtual machine that is currently configured with 2 vCPUs and 4 GB of memory. It is running out of memory. You want to upgrade the virtual machine to have 8 GB of memory.
What should you do?

  1. Rely on live migration to move the workload to a machine with more memory.
  2. Use gcloud to add metadata to the VM. Set the key to required-memory-size and the value to 8 G
  3. Stop the VM, change the machine type to n1-standard-8, and start the VM.
  4. Stop the VM, increase the memory to 8 GB, and start the VM.

You have production and test workloads that you want to deploy on Compute Engine. Production VMs need to be in a different subnet than the test VMs. All the VMs must be able to reach each other over Internal IP without creating additional routes. You need to set up VPC and the 2 subnets.
Which configuration meets these requirements?

  1. Create a single custom VPC with 2 subnets. Create each subnet in a different region and with a different CIDR range.
  2. Create a single custom VPC with 2 subnets. Create each subnet in the same region and with the same CIDR range.
  3. Create 2 custom VPCs, each with a single subnet. Create each subnet in a different region and with a different CIDR range.
  4. Create 2 custom VPCs, each with a single subnet. Create each subnet in the same region and with the same CIDR range.

Answer(s): A
