What are the minimum permissions needed for a service account used with Google Dataproc?

  1. Execute to Google Cloud Storage; write to Google Cloud Logging
  2. Write to Google Cloud Storage; read to Google Cloud Logging
  3. Execute to Google Cloud Storage; execute to Google Cloud Logging
  4. Read and write to Google Cloud Storage; write to Google Cloud Logging

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Service accounts authenticate applications running on your virtual machine instances to other Google Cloud Platform services. For example, if you write an application that reads and writes files on Google Cloud Storage, it must first authenticate to the Google Cloud Storage API. At a minimum, service accounts used with Cloud Dataproc need permissions to read and write to Google Cloud Storage, and to write to Google Cloud Logging.

Which role must be assigned to a service account used by the virtual machines in a Dataproc cluster so they can execute jobs?

  1. Dataproc Worker
  2. Dataproc Viewer
  3. Dataproc Runner
  4. Dataproc Editor

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Service accounts used with Cloud Dataproc must have Dataproc/Dataproc Worker role (or have all the permissions granted by Dataproc Worker role).

When creating a new Cloud Dataproc cluster with the projects.regions.clusters.create operation, these four values are required: project, region, name, and ____.

  1. zone
  2. node
  3. label
  4. type

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

At a minimum, you must specify four values when creating a new cluster with the projects.regions.clusters.create operation:

The project in which the cluster will be created

The region to use

The name of the cluster

The zone in which the cluster will be created

You can specify many more details beyond these minimum requirements. For example, you can also specify the number of workers, whether preemptible compute should be used, and the network settings.

Which Google Cloud Platform service is an alternative to Hadoop with Hive?

  1. Cloud Dataflow
  2. Cloud Bigtable
  3. BigQuery
  4. Cloud Datastore

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Apache Hive is a data warehouse software project built on top of Apache Hadoop for providing data summarization, query, and analysis.

Google BigQuery is an enterprise data warehouse.

Which of these rules apply when you add preemptible workers to a Dataproc cluster (select 2 answers)?

  1. Preemptible workers cannot use persistent disk.
  2. Preemptible workers cannot store data.
  3. If a preemptible worker is reclaimed, then a replacement worker must be added manually.
  4. A Dataproc cluster cannot have only preemptible workers.

Answer(s): B,D

Explanation:

The following rules will apply when you use preemptible workers with a Cloud Dataproc cluster:

. Processing only--Since preemptibles can be reclaimed at any time, preemptible workers do not store data. Preemptibles added to a Cloud Dataproc cluster only function as processing nodes.

. No preemptible-only clusters--To ensure clusters do not lose all workers, Cloud Dataproc cannot create preemptible-only clusters.

. Persistent disk size--As a default, all preemptible workers are created with the smaller of 100GB or the primary worker boot disk size. This disk space is used for local caching of data and is not available through HDFS.

The managed group automatically re-adds workers lost due to reclamation as capacity permits.
