Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Skills Flashcards

A picture from a Compute Engine needs to be encrypted. What must you accomplish?

Answer: Associate your image with a customer-managed key to encrypt it

Unless you provide the key, Google cannot access your protected data. Google does not store your keys on its systems. Additionally, this implies that if you need to remember or misplace your key, neither Google nor any encrypted data can be recovered.

You need to run several exploratory queries in BigQuery as cheaply as feasible. What ought you to do?

Answer: Set the job priority for each query to Interactive and expect to see query results immediately

BigQuery provides two payment options: on-demand (you pay for the number of bytes processed by each query) and flat-rate (you purchase slots – dedicated processing capacity). Running in Interactive mode with on-demand pricing is the best option if the exploratory questions are one-off.

Your GCP project does not have access to GCP Organizations. Which kind of account do you have?

Answer: Free Tier

A Free Tier (individual) account operates outside the GCP Organizations hierarchy, which is reserved for accounts tied to Google Workspace or Cloud Identity. 'Temporary' and 'Local' are not GCP account types, and an 'Organizational' account would by definition have access to Organizations.

What feature must be enabled for Compute Engine to support managed instance groups with load balancing and autoscaling?

Answer: Health checks

To support load balancing and autoscaling for managed instance groups in Compute Engine, you need to enable health checks. Health checks play a crucial role in determining the availability and health of instances within a managed instance group.

You are creating a program that will use the MQTT protocol to send messages. Which service ought you to employ?

Answer: Cloud Pub/Sub

You need to configure services to host a mobile application that uses TensorFlow Lite models. Which services ought you to employ?

Answer: Firebase and ML Kit

To host a mobile application that uses TensorFlow Lite models, two services you should consider are Firebase and ML Kit.

Redis must be installed on GKE with distinct persistent IDs and consistent hostnames. How do you use deployment objects?

Answer: YAML configuration file

To deploy Redis with unique persistent identities and stable hostnames on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), you would typically use a YAML configuration file to define the deployment object. In the YAML configuration file, you can specify the desired characteristics of your Redis deployment, including the persistent identities and stable hostnames. The deployment object is used to manage the lifecycle of the Redis pods and ensure their availability and scalability.
