    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

  • Question 246:

    The migration of JencoMart's application to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is progressing too slowly. The infrastructure is shown in the diagram. You want to maximize throughput. What are three potential bottlenecks? Choose 3 answers.

    A. A single VPN tunnel, which limits throughput

    B. A tier of Google Cloud Storage that is not suited for this task

    C. A copy command that is not suited to operate over long distances

    D. Fewer virtual machines (VMs) in GCP than on-premises machines

    E. A separate storage layer outside the VMs, which is not suited for this task

    F. Complicated internet connectivity between the on-premises infrastructure and GCP

  • Question 247:

    B. Latency difference between US and Asia

    C. Total visits, error rates, and latency from Asia

    D. Total visits and average latency for users from Asia

    E. The number of character sets present in the database

  • Question 248:

    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

  • Question 249:

    What three steps should you take to diagnose the problem? Choose 3 answers.

    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

  • Question 250:

    Your company's user-feedback portal comprises a standard LAMP stack replicated across two zones. It is deployed in the us-central1 region and uses autoscaled managed instance groups on all layers, except the database. Currently, only a small group of select customers have access to the portal. The portal meets a 99.99% availability SLA under these conditions However next quarter, your company will be making the portal available to all users, including unauthenticated users. You need to develop a resiliency testing strategy to ensure the system maintains the SLA once they introduce additional user load. What should you do?

    A. Capture existing users input, and replay captured user load until autoscale is triggered on all layers. At the same time, terminate all resources in one of the zones.

    B. Create synthetic random user input, replay synthetic load until autoscale logic is triggered on at least one layer, and introduce "chaos" to the system by terminating random resources on both zones.

    C. Expose the new system to a larger group of users, and increase group ' size each day until autoscale logic is tnggered on all layers. At the same time, terminate random resources on both zones.

    D. Capture existing users input, and replay captured user load until resource utilization crosses 80%. Also, derive estimated number of users based on existing users usage of the app, and deploy enough resources to handle 200% of expected load.
