You need to load-test a set of REST API endpoints that are deployed to Cloud Run. The API responds to HTTP POST requests Your load tests must meet the following requirements:
• Load is initiated from multiple parallel threads
• User traffic to the API originates from multiple source IP addresses.
• Load can be scaled up using additional test instances
You want to follow Google-recommended best practices How should you configure the load testing'?

A. Create an image that has cURL installed and configure cURLto run a test plan Deploy the image in a managed instance group, and run one instance of the image for each VM.

B. Create an image that has cURL installed and configure cURL to run a test plan Deploy the image in an unmanaged instance group, and run one instance of the image for each VM.

C. Deploy a distributed load testing framework on a private Google Kubernetes Engine Cluster Deploy additional Pods as needed to initiate more traffic and support the number of concurrent users.

D. Download the container image of a distributed load testing framework on Cloud Shell Sequentially start several instances of the container on Cloud Shell to increase the load on the API.

You are planning to deploy your application in a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster. Your application can scale horizontally, and each instance of your application needs to have a stable network identity and its own persistent disk. Which GKE object should you use?

A. Deployment

B. StatefulSet

C. ReplicaSet

D. ReplicaController

Your company’s development teams want to use various open source operating systems in their Docker builds. When images are created in published containers in your company’s environment, you need to scan them for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). The scanning process must not impact software development agility. You want to use managed services where possible. What should you do?

A. Enable the Vulnerability scanning setting in the Container Registry.

B. Create a Cloud Function that is triggered on a code check-in and scan the code for CVEs.

C. Disallow the use of non-commercially supported base images in your development environment.

D. Use Cloud Monitoring to review the output of Cloud Build to determine whether a vulnerable version has been used.

You are a developer at a large organization. You are deploying a web application to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). The DevOps team has built a CI/CD pipeline that uses Cloud Deploy to deploy the application to Dev Test, and Prod clusters in GKE. After Cloud Deploy successfully deploys the application to the Dev cluster you want to automatically promote it to the Test Cluster. How should you configure this process following Google-recommended best practices?

A.

1. Create a Cloud Build trigger that listens for SUCCEEDED Pub/Sub messages from the clouddeploy-operations topic.
2. Configure Cloud Build to include a step that promotes the application to the Test cluster

B.

1. Create a Cloud Function that calls the Google Cloud Deploy API to promote the application to the Test cluster.
2. Configure this function to be triggered by SUCCEEDED Pub/Sub messages from the cloud-builds topic.

C.

1. Create a Cloud Function that calls the Google Cloud Deploy API to promote the application to the Test cluster.
2. Configure this function to be triggered by SUCCEEDED Pub/Sub messages from the clouddeploy operations topic.

D.

1. Create a Cloud Build pipeline that uses the gke-deploy builder.
2. Create a Cloud Build trigger that listens to SUCCEEDED Pub/Sub messages from the cloud-builds topic.
3. Configure this pipeline to run a deployment step to the Test cluster.

Your team is setting up a build pipeline for an application that will run in Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). For security reasons, you only want images produced by the pipeline to be deployed to your GKE cluster. Which combination of Google Cloud services should you use?

A. Google Cloud Deploy. Artifact Registry, and Google Cloud Armor

B. Google Cloud Deploy, Cloud Storage and Google Cloud Armor

C. Cloud Build, Cloud Storage, and Binary Authorization

D. Cloud Build. Artifact Registry and Binary Authorization

Your team develops services that run on Google Kubernetes Engine. You need to standardize their log data using Google-recommended practices and make the data more useful in the fewest number of steps. What should you do? (Choose two.)

A. Create aggregated exports on application logs to BigQuery to facilitate log analytics.

B. Create aggregated exports on application logs to Cloud Storage to facilitate log analytics.

C. Write log output to standard output (stdout) as single-line JSON to be ingested into Cloud Logging as structured logs.

D. Mandate the use of the Logging API in the application code to write structured logs to Cloud Logging.

E. Mandate the use of the Pub/Sub API to write structured data to Pub/Sub and create a Dataflow streaming pipeline to normalize logs and write them to BigQuery for analytics.

You recently developed an application that monitors a large number of stock prices. You need to configure Pub/Sub to receive a high volume messages and update the current stock price in a single large in-memory database The downstream service needs only the most up-to-date prices in the in-memory database to perform stock trading transactions.
Each message contains three pieces of information.
• Stock symbol
• Stock price
• Timestamp for the update .
How should you set up your Pub/Sub subscription?

A. Create a pull subscription with both ordering and exactly-once delivery turned off

B. Create a pull subscription with exactly-once delivery enabled

C. Create a push subscription with exactly-once delivery enabled

D. Create a push subscription with both ordering and exactly-once delivery turned off

You have an application deployed in Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) that reads and processes Pub/Sub messages. Each Pod handles a fixed number of messages per minute. The rate at which messages are published to the Pub/Sub topic varies considerably throughout the day and week, including occasional large batches of messages published at a single moment. You want to scale your GKE Deployment to be able to process messages in a timely manner. What GKE feature should you use to automatically adapt your workload?

A. Vertical Pod Autoscaler in Auto mode

B. Vertical Pod Autoscaler in Recommendation mode

C. Horizontal Pod Autoscaler based on an external metric

D. Horizontal Pod Autoscaler based on resources utilization

Your development team has built several Cloud Functions using Java along with corresponding integration and service tests. You are building and deploying the functions and launching the tests using Cloud Build. Your Cloud Build job is reporting deployment failures immediately after successfully validating the code. What should you do?

A. Check the maximum number of Cloud Function instances

B. Verify that your Cloud Build trigger has the correct build parameters

C. Retry the tests using the truncated exponential backoff polling strategy

D. Verify that the Cloud Build service account is assigned the Cloud Functions Developer role.

You want to upload files from an on-premises virtual machine to Google Cloud Storage as part of a data migration. These files will be consumed by Cloud DataProc Hadoop cluster in a GCP environment. Which command should you use?

A. gsutil cp [LOCAL_OBJECT] gs://[DESTINATION_BUCKET_NAME]/

B. gcloud cp [LOCAL_OBJECT] gs://[DESTINATION_BUCKET_NAME]/

C. hadoop fs cp [LOCAL_OBJECT] gs://[DESTINATION_BUCKET_NAME]/

D. gcloud dataproc cp [LOCAL_OBJECT] gs://[DESTINATION_BUCKET_NAME]/

You want to re-architect a monolithic application so that it follows a microservices model. You want to accomplish this efficiently while minimizing the impact of this change to the business. Which approach should you take?

A. Deploy the application to Compute Engine and turn on autoscaling.

B. Replace the application's features with appropriate microservices in phases.

C. Refactor the monolithic application with appropriate microservices in a single effort and deploy it.

D. Build a new application with the appropriate microservices separate from the monolith and replace it when it is complete.
