You want to configure autohealing for network load balancing for a group of Compute Engine instances thatrun in multiple zones, using the fewest possible steps. You need to configure re-creation of VMs if they are unresponsive after 3 attempts of 10 seconds each. What should you do?

A.

Create an HTTP load balancer with a backend configuration that references an existing instance group.
Set the health check to healthy (HTTP)

B.

Create an HTTP load balancer with a backend configuration that references an existing instance group.
Define a balancing mode and set the maximum RPS to 10.

C.

Create a managed instance group. Set the Autohealing health check to healthy (HTTP)

D.

Create a managed instance group. Verify that the autoscaling setting is on.

You have production and test workloads that you want to deploy on Compute Engine. Production VMs need to be in a different subnet than the test VMs. All the VMs must be able to reach each other over internal IP without creating additional routes. You need to set up VPC and the 2 subnets. Which configuration meets these requirements?

A.

Create a single custom VPC with 2 subnets. Create each subnet in a different region and with a different
CIDR range.

B.

Create a single custom VPC with 2 subnets. Create each subnet in the same region and with the same
CIDR range.

C.

Create 2 custom VPCs, each with a single subnet. Create each subnet is a different region and with a
different CIDR range.

D.

Create 2 custom VPCs, each with a single subnet. Create each subnet in the same region and with the
same CIDR range.

You are deploying an application to App Engine. You want the number of instances to scale based on request rate. You need at least 3 unoccupied instances at all times. Which scaling type should you use?

A.

Manual Scaling with 3 instances.

B.

Basic Scaling with min_instances set to 3.

C.

Basic Scaling with max_instances set to 3.

D.

Automatic Scaling with min_idle_instances set to 3.

You need to configure IAM access audit logging in BigQuery for external auditors. You want to follow
Google-recommended practices. What should you do?

A.

Add the auditors group to the ‘logging.viewer’ and ‘bigQuery.dataViewer’ predefined IAM roles.

B.

Add the auditors group to two new custom IAM roles.

C.

Add the auditor user accounts to the ‘logging.viewer’ and ‘bigQuery.dataViewer’ predefined IAM roles.

D.

Add the auditor user accounts to two new custom IAM roles.

You have one GCP account running in your default region and zone and another account running in a
non-default region and zone. You want to start a new Compute Engine instance in these two Google Cloud Platform accounts using the command line interface. What should you do?

A.

Create two configurations using gcloud config configurations create [NAME]. Run gcloud config
configurations activate [NAME] to switch between accounts when running the commands to start the
Compute Engine instances.

B.

Create two configurations using gcloud config configurations create [NAME]. Run gcloud
configurations list to start the Compute Engine instances.

C.

Activate two configurations using gcloud configurations activate [NAME]. Run gcloud config list to
start the Compute Engine instances.

D.

Activate two configurations using gcloud configurations activate [NAME]. Run gcloud configurations
list to start the Compute Engine instances.
