Google Professional-Cloud-Architect Answers

You are using Cloud Shell and need to install a custom utility for use in a few weeks. Where can you store the file so it is in the default execution path and persists across sessions?

Your customer is planning to store a large amount of log data in Google Cloud. The customer has the following requirements:

• the data must be easily searchable and filterable

• the data must be stored in a highly durable and scalable storage system

• the data must be accessible by multiple teams within the customer's organization

• the data must be cost-effective

Which Google Cloud service should you recommend to meet these requirements?

Your company is designing its application landscape on Compute Engine. Whenever a zonal outage occurs, the application should be restored in another zone as quickly as possible with the latest application data. You need to design the solution to meet this requirement. What should you do?

Introductory Info Company overview -

TerramEarth manufactures heavy equipment for the mining and agricultural industries. They currently have over 500 dealers and service centers in 100 countries.

Their mission is to build products that make their customers more productive.

Solution concept -

There are 2 million TerramEarth vehicles in operation currently, and we see 20% yearly growth. Vehicles collect telemetry data from many sensors during operation. A small subset of critical data is transmitted from the vehicles in real time to facilitate fleet management. The rest of the sensor data is collected, compressed, and uploaded daily when the vehicles return to home base. Each vehicle usually generates 200 to 500 megabytes of data per day.

Existing technical environment -

TerramEarth's vehicle data aggregation and analysis infrastructure resides in Google Cloud and serves clients from all around the world. A growing amount of sensor data is captured from their two main manufacturing plants and sent to private data centers that contain their legacy inventory and logistics management systems. The private data centers have multiple network interconnects configured to Google Cloud. The web frontend for dealers and customers is running in

Google Cloud and allows access to stock management and analytics.

Business requirements -

* Predict and detect vehicle malfunction and rapidly ship parts to dealerships for just-in-time repair where possible.

* Decrease cloud operational costs and adapt to seasonality.

* Increase speed and reliability of development workflow.

* Allow remote developers to be productive without compromising code or data security.

* Create a flexible and scalable platform for developers to create custom API services for dealers and partners.

Technical requirements -

* Create a new abstraction layer for HTTP API access to their legacy systems to enable a gradual move into the cloud without disrupting operations.

* Modernize all CI/CD pipelines to allow developers to deploy container-based workloads in highly scalable environments.

* Allow developers to run experiments without compromising security and governance requirements.

* Create a self-service portal for internal and partner developers to create new projects, request resources for data analytics jobs, and centrally manage access to the API endpoints.

* Use cloud-native solutions for keys and secrets management and optimize for identity-based access.

* Improve and standardize tools necessary for application and network monitoring and troubleshooting.

Executive statement -

Our competitive advantage has always been our focus on the customer, with our ability to provide excellent customer service and minimize vehicle downtimes.

After moving multiple systems into Google Cloud, we are seeking new ways to provide best-in-class online fleet management services to our customers and improve operations of our dealerships. Our 5-year strategic plan is to create a partner ecosystem of new products by enabling access to our data, increasing autonomous operation capabilities of our vehicles, and creating a path to move the remaining legacy systems to the cloud. Question For this question, refer to the TerramEarth case study. You are migrating a Linux-based application from your private data center to Google Cloud. The

TerramEarth security team sent you several recent Linux vulnerabilities published by Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE). You need assistance in understanding how these vulnerabilities could impact your migration. What should you do? (Choose two.)

You are designing an application for use only during business hours. For the minimum viable product release, you'd like to use a managed product that automatically `scales to zero` so you don't incur costs when there is no activity.

Which primary compute resource should you choose?
