Google Google Certifications PROFESSIONAL-CLOUD-ARCHITECT Questions & Answers

  • Question 171:

    For this question, refer to the EHR Healthcare case study. In the past, configuration errors put public IP addresses on backend servers that should not have been accessible from the Internet. You need to ensure that no one can put external IP addresses on backend Compute Engine instances and that external IP addresses can only be configured on frontend Compute Engine instances. What should you do?

    A. Create an Organizational Policy with a constraint to allow external IP addresses only on the frontend Compute Engine instances.

    B. Revoke the compute.networkAdmin role from all users in the project with front end instances.

    C. Create an Identity and Access Management (IAM) policy that maps the IT staff to the compute.networkAdmin role for the organization.

    D. Create a custom Identity and Access Management (IAM) role named GCE_FRONTEND with the compute.addresses.create permission.

  • Question 172:

    For this question, refer to the EHR Healthcare case study. You need to define the technical architecture for hybrid connectivity between EHR's on-premises systems and Google Cloud. You want to follow Google's recommended practices for production-level applications. Considering the EHR Healthcare business and technical requirements, what should you do?

    A. Configure two Partner Interconnect connections in one metro (City), and make sure the Interconnect connections are placed in different metro zones.

    B. Configure two VPN connections from on-premises to Google Cloud, and make sure the VPN devices on-premises are in separate racks.

    C. Configure Direct Peering between EHR Healthcare and Google Cloud, and make sure you are peering at least two Google locations.

    D. Configure two Dedicated Interconnect connections in one metro (City) and two connections in another metro, and make sure the Interconnect connections are placed in different metro zones.

  • Question 173:

    You need to upgrade the EHR connection to comply with their requirements. The new connection design must support business-critical needs and meet the same network and security policy requirements. What should you do?

    A. Add a new Dedicated Interconnect connection.

    B. Upgrade the bandwidth on the Dedicated Interconnect connection to 100 G.

    C. Add three new Cloud VPN connections.

    D. Add a new Carrier Peering connection.

  • Question 174:

    For this question, refer to the EHR Healthcare case study. You are responsible for ensuring that EHR's use of Google Cloud will pass an upcoming privacy compliance audit. What should you do? (Choose two.)

    A. Verify EHR's product usage against the list of compliant products on the Google Cloud compliance page.

    B. Advise EHR to execute a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with Google Cloud.

    C. Use Firebase Authentication for EHR's user facing applications.

    D. Implement Prometheus to detect and prevent security breaches on EHR's web-based applications.

    E. Use GKE private clusters for all Kubernetes workloads.

  • Question 175:

    For this question, refer to the EHR Healthcare case study. You need to define the technical architecture for securely deploying workloads to Google Cloud. You also need to ensure that only verified containers are deployed using Google Cloud services. What should you do? (Choose two.)

    A. Enable Binary Authorization on GKE, and sign containers as part of a CI/CD pipeline.

    B. Configure Jenkins to utilize Kritis to cryptographically sign a container as part of a CI/CD pipeline.

    C. Configure Container Registry to only allow trusted service accounts to create and deploy containers from the registry.

    D. Configure Container Registry to use vulnerability scanning to confirm that there are no vulnerabilities before deploying the workload.

  • Question 176:

    For this question, refer to the Helicopter Racing League (HRL) case study. A recent finance audit of cloud infrastructure noted an exceptionally high number of Compute Engine instances are allocated to do video encoding and transcoding. You suspect that these Virtual Machines are zombie machines that were not deleted after their workloads completed. You need to quickly get a list of which VM instances are idle. What should you do?

    A. Log into each Compute Engine instance and collect disk, CPU, memory, and network usage statistics for analysis.

    B. Use the gcloud compute instances list to list the virtual machine instances that have the idle: true label set.

    C. Use the gcloud recommender command to list the idle virtual machine instances.

    D. From the Google Console, identify which Compute Engine instances in the managed instance groups are no longer responding to health check probes.

  • Question 177:

    For this question, refer to the Helicopter Racing League (HRL) case study. The HRL development team releases a new version of their predictive capability application every Tuesday evening at 3 a.m. UTC to a repository. The security team at HRL has developed an in-house penetration test Cloud Function called Airwolf. The security team wants to run Airwolf against the predictive capability application as soon as it is released every Tuesday. You need to set up Airwolf to run at the recurring weekly cadence. What should you do?

    A. Set up Cloud Tasks and a Cloud Storage bucket that triggers a Cloud Function.

    B. Set up a Cloud Logging sink and a Cloud Storage bucket that triggers a Cloud Function.

    C. Configure the deployment job to notify a Pub/Sub queue that triggers a Cloud Function.

    D. Set up Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Confidential Computing to trigger a Cloud Function.

  • Question 178:

    For this question, refer to the Helicopter Racing League (HRL) case study. HRL wants better prediction accuracy from their ML prediction models. They want you to use Google's AI Platform so HRL can understand and interpret the predictions. What should you do?

    A. Use Explainable AI.

    B. Use Vision AI.

    C. Use Google Cloud's operations suite.

    D. Use Jupyter Notebooks.

  • Question 179:

    For this question, refer to the Helicopter Racing League (HRL) case study. HRL is looking for a cost-effective approach for storing their race data such as telemetry. They want to keep all historical records, train models using only the previous season's data, and plan for data growth in terms of volume and information collected. You need to propose a data solution. Considering HRL business requirements and the goals expressed by CEO S. Hawke, what should you do?

    A. Use Firestore for its scalable and flexible document-based database. Use collections to aggregate race data by season and event.

    B. Use Cloud Spanner for its scalability and ability to version schemas with zero downtime. Split race data using season as a primary key.

    C. Use BigQuery for its scalability and ability to add columns to a schema. Partition race data based on season.

  • Question 180:

    For this question, refer to the Helicopter Racing League (HRL) case study. Your team is in charge of creating a payment card data vault for card numbers used to bill tens of thousands of viewers, merchandise consumers, and season ticket holders. You need to implement a custom card tokenization service that meets the following requirements:

    1.

    It must provide low latency at minimal cost.

    2.

    It must be able to identify duplicate credit cards and must not store plaintext card numbers.

    3.

    It should support annual key rotation.

    Which storage approach should you adopt for your tokenization service?

    A. Store the card data in Secret Manager after running a query to identify duplicates.
