experiences. As a large, global company, we also have a responsibility to the environment through ‫ג‬€green‫ג‬€ initiatives and policies.

CTO Statement -
The challenges of operating data centers prevent focus on key technologies critical to our long-term success. Migrating our data services to a public cloud infrastructure will allow us to focus on big data and machine
learning to improve our service to customers.

CFO Statement -
Since its founding, JencoMart has invested heavily in our data services infrastructure. However, because of changing market trends, we need to outsource our infrastructure to ensure our long-term success. This
model will allow us to respond to increasing customer demand during peak periods and reduce costs.

The JencoMart security team requires that all Google Cloud Platform infrastructure is deployed using a least privilege model with separation of duties for administration between production and development
resources.
What Google domain and project structure should you recommend?

A. Create two G Suite accounts to manage users: one for development/test/staging and one for production. Each account should contain one project for every application
B. Create two G Suite accounts to manage users: one with a single project for all development applications and one with a single project for all production applications
C. Create a single G Suite account to manage users with each stage of each application in its own project
D. Create a single G Suite account to manage users with one project for the development/test/staging environment and one project for the production environment

Answer : D

Explanation:
Note: The principle of least privilege and separation of duties are concepts that, although semantically different, are intrinsically related from the standpoint of security. The intent behind both is to prevent people
from having higher privilege levels than they actually need
✑ Principle of Least Privilege: Users should only have the least amount of privileges required to perform their job and no more. This reduces authorization exploitation by limiting access to resources such as targets,
jobs, or monitoring templates for which they are not authorized.
✑ Separation of Duties: Beyond limiting user privilege level, you also limit user duties, or the specific jobs they can perform. No user should be given responsibility for more than one related function. This limits the
ability of a user to perform a malicious action and then cover up that action.

A few days after JencoMart migrates the user credentials database to Google Cloud Platform and shuts down the old server, the new database server stops responding to SSH connections. It is still serving database
requests to the application servers correctly.
What three steps should you take to diagnose the problem? (Choose three.)

A. Delete the virtual machine (VM) and disks and create a new one
B. Delete the instance, attach the disk to a new VM, and investigate
C. Take a snapshot of the disk and connect to a new machine to investigate
D. Check inbound firewall rules for the network the machine is connected to
E. Connect the machine to another network with very simple firewall rules and investigate
F. Print the Serial Console output for the instance for troubleshooting, activate the interactive console, and investigate

Answer : CDF

Explanation:
D: Handling "Unable to connect on port 22" error message
Possible causes include:
✑ There is no firewall rule allowing SSH access on the port. SSH access on port 22 is enabled on all Compute Engine instances by default. If you have disabled access, SSH from the Browser will not work. If you run
sshd on a port other than 22, you need to enable the access to that port with a custom firewall rule.
✑ The firewall rule allowing SSH access is enabled, but is not configured to allow connections from GCP Console services. Source IP addresses for browser- based SSH sessions are dynamically allocated by GCP
Console and can vary from session to session.
F: Handling "Could not connect, retrying..." error
You can verify that the daemon is running by navigating to the serial console output page and looking for output lines prefixed with the accounts-from-metadata: string. If you are using a standard image but you do
not see these output prefixes in the serial console output, the daemon might be stopped. Reboot the instance to restart the daemon.

JencoMart has decided to migrate user profile storage to Google Cloud Datastore and the application servers to Google Compute Engine (GCE). During the migration, the existing infrastructure will need access to
Datastore to upload the data.
What service account key-management strategy should you recommend?

A. Provision service account keys for the on-premises infrastructure and for the GCE virtual machines (VMs)
B. Authenticate the on-premises infrastructure with a user account and provision service account keys for the VMs
C. Provision service account keys for the on-premises infrastructure and use Google Cloud Platform (GCP) managed keys for the VMs
D. Deploy a custom authentication service on GCE/Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) for the on-premises infrastructure and use GCP managed keys for the VMs

Answer : C

Explanation:
Migrating data to Google Cloud Platform
Let‫ג‬€™s say that you have some data processing that happens on another cloud provider and you want to transfer the processed data to Google Cloud Platform. You can use a service account from the virtual
machines on the external cloud to push the data to Google Cloud Platform. To do this, you must create and download a service account key when you create the service account and then use that key from the external
process to call the Cloud Platform APIs.

Company overview -
Mountkirk Games makes online, session-based, multiplayer games for mobile platforms. They have recently started expanding to other platforms after successfully migrating their on-premises environments to
Google Cloud.
Their most recent endeavor is to create a retro-style first-person shooter (FPS) game that allows hundreds of simultaneous players to join a geo-specific digital arena from multiple platforms and locations. A real-time
digital banner will display a global leaderboard of all the top players across every active arena.

Solution concept -
Mountkirk Games is building a new multiplayer game that they expect to be very popular. They plan to deploy the game‫ג‬€™s backend on Google Kubernetes Engine so they can scale rapidly and use Google‫ג‬€™s
global load balancer to route players to the closest regional game arenas. In order to keep the global leader board in sync, they plan to use a multi-region Spanner cluster.

Existing technical environment -

The existing environment was recently migrated to Google Cloud, and five games came across using lift-and-shift virtual machine migrations, with a few minor exceptions. Each new game exists in an isolated Google
Cloud project nested below a folder that maintains most of the permissions and network policies. Legacy games with low traffic have been consolidated into a single project. There are also separate environments for
development and testing.

Business requirements -
Support multiple gaming platforms.
Support multiple regions.
Support rapid iteration of game features.
Minimize latency.
Optimize for dynamic scaling.
Use managed services and pooled resources.
Minimize costs.

Executive statement -
Our last game was the first time we used Google Cloud, and it was a tremendous success. We were able to analyze player behavior and game telemetry in ways that we never could before. This success allowed us to bet
on a full migration to the cloud and to start building all-new games using cloud-native design principles.
Our new game is our most ambitious to date and will open up doors for us to support more gaming platforms beyond mobile. Latency is our top priority, although cost management is the next most important
challenge. As with our first cloud-based game, we have grown to expect the cloud to enable advanced analytics capabilities so we can rapidly iterate on our deployments of bug fixes and new functionality.

Question 31 ( Testlet 5 )

Company Overview -
TerramEarth manufactures heavy equipment for the mining and agricultural industries: about 80% of their business is from mining and 20% from agriculture. They currently have over 500 dealers and service
centers in 100 countries. Their mission is to build products that make their customers more productive.

Existing Technical Environment -

TerramEarth‫ג‬€™s existing architecture is composed of Linux-based systems that reside in a data center. These systems gzip CSV files from the field and upload
via
FTP, transform and aggregate them, and place the data in their data warehouse. Because this process takes time, aggregated reports are based on data that is 3
weeks old.
With this data, TerramEarth has been able to preemptively stock replacement parts and reduce unplanned downtime of their vehicles by 60%. However,
because the data is stale some customers are without their vehicles for up to 4 weeks while they wait for replacement parts

because the data is stale, some customers are without their vehicles for up to 4 weeks while they wait for replacement parts.

You analyzed TerramEarth‫ג‬€™s business requirement to reduce downtime, and found that they can achieve a majority of time saving by reducing customer‫ג‬€™s
wait time for parts. You decided to focus on reduction of the 3 weeks aggregate reporting time.
Which modifications to the company‫ג‬€™s processes should you recommend?

A. Migrate from CSV to binary format, migrate from FTP to SFTP transport, and develop machine learning analysis of metrics
B. Migrate from FTP to streaming transport, migrate from CSV to binary format, and develop machine learning analysis of metrics
C. Increase fleet cellular connectivity to 80%, migrate from FTP to streaming transport, and develop machine learning analysis of metrics
D. Migrate from FTP to SFTP transport, develop machine learning analysis of metrics, and increase dealer local inventory by a fixed factor

Answer : C

Explanation:
The Avro binary format is the preferred format for loading compressed data. Avro data is faster to load because the data can be read in parallel, even when the data blocks are compressed.
Cloud Storage supports streaming transfers with the gsutil tool or boto library, based on HTTP chunked transfer encoding. Streaming data lets you stream data to and from your Cloud Storage account as soon as it
becomes available without requiring that the data be first saved to a separate file. Streaming transfers are useful if you have a process that generates data and you do not want to buffer it locally before uploading it, or
if you want to send the result from a computational pipeline directly into Cloud Storage.

D. Have the vehicle‫ג‬€™s computer compress the data in hourly snapshots, and store it in a GCS Coldline bucket

Answer : D

Explanation:
Storage is the best choice for data that you plan to access at most once a year, due to its slightly lower availability, 90-day minimum storage duration, costs for data access, and higher per-operation costs. For example:
Cold Data Storage - Infrequently accessed data, such as data stored for legal or regulatory reasons, can be stored at low cost as Coldline Storage, and be available when you need it.
Disaster recovery - In the event of a disaster recovery event, recovery time is key. Cloud Storage provides low latency access to data stored as Coldline Storage.

their users with designers and retailers. They monetize their services through advertising, e-commerce, referrals, and a premium app model.

Company Background -
Dress4Win‫ג‬€™s application has grown from a few servers in the founder‫ג‬€™s garage to several hundred servers and appliances in a collocated data center. However, the capacity of their infrastructure is now
insufficient for the application‫ג‬€™s rapid growth. Because of this growth and the company‫ג‬€™s desire to innovate faster,
Dress4Win is committing to a full migration to a public cloud.

Solution Concept -
For the first phase of their migration to the cloud, Dress4Win is considering moving their development and test environments. They are also considering building a disaster recovery site, because their current
infrastructure is at a single location. They are not sure which components of their architecture they can migrate as is and which components they need to change before migrating them.

- MySQL - user data, inventory, static data
- Redis - metadata, social graph, caching
Application servers:
- Tomcat - Java micro-services
- Nginx - static content
- Apache Beam - Batch processing
Storage appliances:
- iSCSI for VM hosts
- Fiber channel SAN - MySQL databases
- NAS - image storage, logs, backups
Apache Hadoop/Spark servers:

CEO Statement -
Our investors are concerned about our ability to scale and contain costs with our current infrastructure. They are also concerned that a new competitor could
use a public cloud platform to offset their up-front investment and freeing them to focus on developing better features.

CTO Statement -
We have invested heavily in the current infrastructure, but much of the equipment is approaching the end of its useful life. We are consistently waiting weeks
for new gear to be racked before we can start new projects. Our traffic patterns are highest in the mornings and weekend evenings; during other times, 80% of
our capacity is sitting idle.

CFO Statement -
Our capital expenditure is now exceeding our quarterly projections. Migrating to the cloud will likely cause an initial increase in spending, but we expect to fully
transition before our next hardware refresh cycle. Our total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis over the next 5 years puts a cloud strategy between 30 to 50%
lower than our current model.

Executive Statement -
Our investors are concerned about our ability to scale and contain costs with our current infrastructure. They are also concerned that a competitor could use a public cloud platform to offset their up-front investment
and free them to focus on developing better features. Our traffic patterns are highest in the mornings and weekend evenings; during other times, 80% of our capacity is sitting idle.
Our capital expenditure is now exceeding our quarterly projections. Migrating to the cloud will likely cause an initial increase in spending, but we expect to fully transition before our next hardware refresh cycle. Our
total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis over the next 5 years for a public cloud strategy achieves a cost reduction between 30% and 50% over our current model.

plan, and roll out new continuous deployment capabilities to update their software at a fast pace. Google
Cloud has been chosen to replace their current colocation facilities.

Existing technical environment -

EHR's software is currently hosted in multiple colocation facilities. The lease on one of the data centers is about to expire.
Customer-facing applications are web-based, and many have recently been containerized to run on a group of Kubernetes clusters. Data is stored in a mixture of relational and NoSQL databases (MySQL, MS SQL
Server, Redis, and MongoDB).
EHR is hosting several legacy file- and API-based integrations with insurance providers on-premises. These systems are scheduled to be replaced over the next several years. There is no plan to upgrade or move these
systems at the current time.
Users are managed via Microsoft Active Directory. Monitoring is currently being done via various open source tools. Alerts are sent via email and are often ignored.

Business requirements -
‫ג‬€¢ On-board new insurance providers as quickly as possible.
‫ג‬€¢ Provide a minimum 99.9% availability for all customer-facing systems.
‫ג‬€¢ Provide centralized visibility and proactive action on system performance and usage.
‫ג‬€¢ Increase ability to provide insights into healthcare trends.
‫ג‬€¢ Reduce latency to all customers.
‫ג‬€¢ Maintain regulatory compliance.
‫ג‬€¢ Decrease infrastructure administration costs.
‫ג‬€¢ Make predictions and generate reports on industry trends based on provider data.

Technical requirements -
‫ג‬€¢ Maintain legacy interfaces to insurance providers with connectivity to both on-premises systems and cloud providers.
‫ג‬€¢ Provide a consistent way to manage customer-facing applications that are container-based.
‫ג‬€¢ Provide a secure and high-performance connection between on-premises systems and Google Cloud.
‫ג‬€¢ Provide consistent logging, log retention, monitoring, and alerting capabilities.
‫ג‬€¢ Maintain and manage multiple container-based environments.

Question 88 ( Question Set 1 )


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?

A. Ensure that a firewall rules exists to allow source traffic on HTTP/HTTPS to reach the load balancer.
B. Assign a public IP to each instance and configure a firewall rule to allow the load balancer to reach the instance public IP.
C. Ensure that a firewall rule exists to allow load balancer health checks to reach the instances in the instance group.
D. Create a tag on each instance with the name of the load balancer. Configure a firewall rule with the name of the load balancer as the source and the instance tag as the destination.

Answer : C

Explanation:
The best practice when configuration a health check is to check health and serve traffic on the same port. However, it is possible to perform health checks on one port, but serve traffic on another. If you do use two
different ports, ensure that firewall rules and services running on instances are configured appropriately. If you run health checks and serve traffic on the same port, but decide to switch ports at some point, be sure to
update both the backend service and the health check.
Backend services that do not have a valid global forwarding rule referencing it will not be health checked and will have no health status.

You can provision users automatically using one of the following tools and services:
Google Cloud Directory Sync (GCDS)

Google Admin SDK -

A third-party connector -
GCDS is a connector that can provision users and groups on your behalf for both Cloud Platform and G Suite. Using GCDS, you can automate the addition, modification, and deletion of users, groups, and non-
employee contacts. You can synchronize the data from your LDAP directory server to your Cloud Platform domain by using LDAP queries. This synchronization is one-way: the data in your LDAP directory server is
never modified.


A production database virtual machine on Google Compute Engine has an ext4-formatted persistent disk for data files. The database is about to run out of storage space.
How can you remediate the problem with the least amount of downtime?

A. In the Cloud Platform Console, increase the size of the persistent disk and use the resize2fs command in Linux.
B. Shut down the virtual machine, use the Cloud Platform Console to increase the persistent disk size, then restart the virtual machine
C. In the Cloud Platform Console, increase the size of the persistent disk and verify the new space is ready to use with the fdisk command in Linux
D. In the Cloud Platform Console, create a new persistent disk attached to the virtual machine, format and mount it, and configure the database service to move the files to the new disk
E. In the Cloud Platform Console, create a snapshot of the persistent disk restore the snapshot to a new larger disk, unmount the old disk, mount the new disk and restart the database service

Answer : A

Explanation:
On Linux instances, connect to your instance and manually resize your partitions and file systems to use the additional disk space that you added.
Extend the file system on the disk or the partition to use the added space. If you grew a partition on your disk, specify the partition. If your disk does not have a partition table, specify only the disk ID. sudo resize2fs
/dev/[DISK_ID][PARTITION_NUMBER] where [DISK_ID] is the device name and [PARTITION_NUMBER] is the partition number for the device where you are resizing the file system.
