Google Cloud Certified - Associate Cloud Engineer Questions and Answers

Question 29

Your organization has decided to deploy all its compute workloads to Kubernetes on Google Cloud and two other cloud providers. You want to build an infrastructure-as-code solution to automate the provisioning process for all cloud resources. What should you do?

Options:

Build the solution by using YAML manifests, and provision the resources.

Build the solution by using Terraform, and provision the resources.

Build the solution by using Python and the cloud SDKs from all providers to provision the resources.

Build the solution by using Config Connector, and provision the resources.

Answer:

Explanation:

The requirement is for an infrastructure-as-code (IaC) solution that can manage Kubernetes resources and other cloud resources across multiple cloud providers (Google Cloud and two others).

Option A (YAML manifests): YAML manifests are primarily used for defining Kubernetes objects, not for provisioning general cloud resources (like VPCs, IAM policies, databases) across different cloud providers.

Option C (Python + SDKs): While possible, writing custom scripts using each provider's SDK requires significant development effort to handle state management, dependencies, and provider differences. It essentially reinvents much of what dedicated IaC tools provide and is not a standard IaC approach.

Option D (Config Connector): Config Connector allows managing Google Cloud resources using Kubernetes-style manifests and APIs. It is specific to Google Cloud and cannot manage resources in other cloud providers.

Option B (Terraform): Terraform is an open-source IaC tool explicitly designed for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently across multiple cloud providers and on-premises data centers. It uses providers for different platforms (GCP, AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, etc.), allowing a unified workflow to manage diverse resources across the required environments (Google Cloud, other clouds, Kubernetes).

Terraform is the standard tool for multi-cloud IaC automation as described in the scenario.

Question 30

You are assisting a new Google Cloud user who just installed the Google Cloud SDK on their VM. The server needs access to Cloud Storage. The user wants your help to create a new storage bucket. You need to make this change in multiple environments. What should you do?

Options:

Use a Deployment Manager script to automate creating storage buckets in an appropriate region

Use a local SSD to improve performance of the VM for the targeted workload

Use the gsutii command to create a storage bucket in the same region as the VM

Use a Persistent Disk SSD in the same zone as the VM to improve performance of the VM

Question 31

Youare configuring Cloud DNS. You want !to create DNS records to pointhome.mydomain.com,mydomain.com. the IP address of your Google Cloud load balancer. What should you do?

Options:

Create one CNAME record to point mydomain.com to the load balancer, and create two A records to point WWW and HOME lo mydomain.com respectively.

Create one CNAME record to point mydomain.com to the load balancer, and create two AAAA records to point WWW and HOME to mydomain.com respectively.

Create one A record to point mydomain.com to the load balancer, and create two CNAME records to point WWW and HOME to mydomain.com respectively.

Create one A record to point mydomain.com lo the load balancer, and create two NS records to point WWW and HOME to mydomain.com respectively.

Question 32

You have developed an application that consists of multiple microservices, with each microservice packaged in its own Docker container image. You want to deploy the entire application on Google Kubernetes Engine so that each microservice can be scaled individually. What should you do?

Options:

Create and deploy a Custom Resource Definition per microservice.

Create and deploy a Docker Compose File.

Create and deploy a Job per microservice.

Create and deploy a Deployment per microservice.
