How can you create a single visual representation of costs incurred in multiple Google Cloud projects?

Single Choice

You created several resources in multiple Google Cloud projects. All projects are linked to different billing accounts. To better estimate future charges, you want to have a single visual representation of all costs incurred. You want to include new cost data as soon as possible. What should you do?

Configure Billing Data Export to BigQuery and visualize the data in Data Studio.

Visit the Cost Table page to get a CSV export and visualize it using Data Studio.

Fill all resources in the Pricing Calculator to get an estimate of the monthly cost.

Use the Reports view in the Cloud Billing Console to view the desired cost information.

Why did my App Engine application not deploy to the intended project and where did it deploy?

Single Choice

You deployed an App Engine application using gcloud app deploy, but it did not deploy to the intended project. You want to find out why this happened and where the application deployed. What should you do?

Check the app.yaml file for your application and check project settings.

Check the web-application.xml file for your application and check project settings.

Go to Deployment Manager and review settings for deployment of applications.

Go to Cloud Shell and run gcloud config list to review the Google Cloud configuration used for deployment.

How to ensure reachability of an LDAP server on Compute Engine over port 636 using UDP?

Single Choice

You deployed an LDAP server on Compute Engine that is reachable via TLS through port 636 using UDP. You want to make sure it is reachable by clients over that port. What should you do?

Add the network tag allow-udp-636 to the VM instance running the LDAP server.

Create a route called allow-udp-636 and set the next hop to be the VM instance running the LDAP server.

Add a network tag of your choice to the instance. Create a firewall rule to allow ingress on UDP port 636 for that network tag.

Add a network tag of your choice to the instance running the LDAP server. Create a firewall rule to allow egress on UDP port 636 for that network tag.

How to upload a 32 GB file to a Nearline Storage bucket using a 1 Gbps WAN connection?

Single Choice

You have 32 GB of data in a single file that you need to upload to a Nearline Storage bucket. The WAN connection you are using is rated at 1 Gbps, and you are the only one on the connection. You want to use as much of the rated 1 Gbps as possible to transfer the file rapidly. How should you upload the file?

Use the GCP Console to transfer the file instead of gsutil.

Enable parallel composite uploads using gsutil on the file transfer.

Decrease the TCP window size on the machine initiating the transfer.

Change the storage class of the bucket from Nearline to Multi-Regional.

How can I reduce the cost of running a nightly batch workload with fault-tolerant virtual machines?

Single Choice

You have a batch workload that runs every night and uses a large number of virtual machines (VMs). It is fault-tolerant and can tolerate some of the VMs being terminated. The current cost of VMs is too high. What should you do?

Run a test using N1 standard VMs instead of N2. If the test is successful, use N1 Standard VMs when running future jobs.

Run a test using simulated maintenance events. If the test is successful, use preemptible N1 Standard VMs when running future jobs.

Run a test using simulated maintenance events. If the test is successful, use N1 Standard VMs when running future jobs.

Run a test using a managed instance group. If the test is successful, use N1 Standard VMs in the managed instance group when running future jobs.

What is the recommended Google solution for daily backups of a Compute Engine instance?

Single Choice

You have a Compute Engine instance hosting an application used between 9 AM and 6 PM on weekdays. You want to back up this instance daily for disaster recovery purposes. You want to keep the backups for 30 days. You want the Google-recommended solution with the least management overhead and the least number of services. What should you do?

1. Update your instances metadata to add the following value: snapshot schedule: 0 1 * * *
2. Update your instances metadata to add the following value: snapshot retention: 30

1. Create a Cloud Function that creates a snapshot of your instance s disk.
2. Create a Cloud Function that deletes snapshots that are older than 30 days.
3. Use Cloud Scheduler to trigger both Cloud Functions daily at 1:00 AM.

1. Create a bash script in the instance that copies the content of the disk to Cloud Storage.
2. Create a bash script in the instance that deletes data older than 30 days in the backup Cloud Storage bucket.
3. Configure the instance s crontab to execute these scripts daily at 1:00 AM.

1. In the Cloud Console, go to the Compute Engine Disks page and select your instance s disk.
2. In the Snapshot Schedule section, select Create Schedule and configure the following parameters:
- Schedule frequency: Daily
- Start time: 1:00 AM 2:00 AM
- Autodelete snapshots after: 30 days
