Read the first 7 Google Cloud Platform (GCP) flashcards as text

  1. Which GCP networking feature allows you to extend your on-premises network to Google's network using a dedicated physical connection?

    Answer: Cloud Interconnect (Dedicated)

    Dedicated Interconnect provides a direct physical connection between your on-premises network and Google's network, offering up to 100 Gbps bandwidth.

  2. What is a GCP Organization resource primarily used for?

    Answer: Root node for GCP resource hierarchy enabling centralized governance

    The Organization resource is the root node of the GCP resource hierarchy, providing centralized visibility and control over all projects and resources.

  3. In BigQuery, what is a 'slot' and how does it relate to query cost?

    Answer: A unit of computational capacity used for query execution

    A BigQuery slot is a virtual CPU used for query execution; on-demand pricing charges per byte scanned, while flat-rate pricing reserves a fixed number of slots.

  4. Which Cloud Storage consistency model ensures that a read immediately after a write always returns the latest data?

    Answer: Strong consistency

    Cloud Storage offers strong global consistency for all object operations, so reads immediately after writes or deletes always reflect the latest state.

  5. What is the key difference between Preemptible VMs and Spot VMs in GCP?

    Answer: Preemptible VMs have a maximum runtime of 24 hours; Spot VMs may run longer but can be reclaimed anytime

    Preemptible VMs are limited to 24 hours and always preempted after that; Spot VMs have no maximum runtime but can be reclaimed at any time when capacity is needed.

  6. Which GCP service provides fully managed Apache Kafka-compatible streaming?

    Answer: Managed Service for Apache Kafka

    Managed Service for Apache Kafka on GCP provides a fully managed Kafka-compatible service without the need to manage Kafka infrastructure.

  7. What is the role of Workload Identity Federation in GCP?

    Answer: Allows external identities to access GCP resources without service account keys

    Workload Identity Federation lets external workloads (AWS, Azure, on-prem) authenticate to GCP using their existing identity providers, eliminating the need for service account keys.
