What is the principle of least privilege in GCP technology management?
Answer: Users should only have the minimum access rights necessary for their job functions
The principle of least privilege limits each user's access to only what is strictly necessary for their role, reducing potential damage from errors, insider threats, or compromised accounts.
What is the purpose of backup and disaster recovery in GCP technology?
Answer: To ensure data can be restored and operations resumed after a system failure or disaster
Backup and disaster recovery plans ensure that critical data and systems can be restored and operations resumed within acceptable timeframes after hardware failures, cyberattacks, natural disasters, or human error.
What is multi-factor authentication (MFA) in GCP security?
Answer: A security method requiring two or more verification factors to gain access
MFA requires users to provide two or more distinct verification factors (something they know, something they have, something they are) before gaining access, significantly reducing unauthorized access risk.
What is change management in GCP technology operations?
Answer: A structured process for evaluating, approving, and implementing changes to minimize risk
IT change management ensures that all changes to systems and infrastructure are evaluated for risk, properly approved, tested, documented, and implemented in a controlled manner to minimize service disruption.
What is service level agreement (SLA) in GCP technology?
Answer: A formal agreement defining expected service performance standards between provider and client
An SLA defines specific, measurable performance standards (uptime, response time, resolution time) that a service provider commits to deliver, with consequences for failing to meet these standards.
Why is documentation important in GCP technology management?
Answer: It ensures knowledge transfer, supports troubleshooting, and maintains operational continuity
Technical documentation captures system configurations, procedures, and decisions, enabling knowledge transfer between team members, efficient troubleshooting, and operational continuity regardless of staff changes.
