  1. Which GCP service provides real-time stream processing using Apache Beam pipelines?

    Answer: Dataflow

    Cloud Dataflow is a fully managed service that executes Apache Beam pipelines for both batch and real-time stream data processing.

  2. What is the purpose of Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP) in GCP?

    Answer: Controls access to web applications based on user identity and context without a VPN

    IAP enforces access control at the application layer based on Google identity and group membership, enabling zero-trust access without requiring a VPN.

  3. Which GCP load balancer type supports global anycast IP and routes traffic to the nearest healthy backend?

    Answer: External HTTP(S) load balancer (global)

    The global external HTTP(S) load balancer uses a single anycast IP address and Google's global network to route requests to the closest healthy backend.

  4. A startup wants to deploy a web app on GCP with minimal ops overhead and automatic scaling including scale-to-zero. Which is the best choice?

    Answer: Cloud Run

    Cloud Run is the most operationally simple option, supporting scale-to-zero, automatic scaling, and container-based deployment with no infrastructure management.

  5. What is the role of Cloud DNS in a GCP architecture?

    Answer: Manages scalable, reliable DNS zones and record sets for domains

    Cloud DNS is a highly available, low-latency managed DNS service that lets you publish and manage DNS records for your domains on Google's global infrastructure.

  6. Which command correctly authenticates the gcloud CLI using Application Default Credentials for local development?

    Answer: gcloud auth application-default login

    The command 'gcloud auth application-default login' sets up Application Default Credentials (ADC) so client libraries and SDKs authenticate automatically during local development.

  7. What happens to data in a Cloud Memorystore (Redis) instance if the instance is deleted?

    Answer: All data is permanently lost unless a manual backup was created

    Cloud Memorystore for Redis is an in-memory store; deleting the instance destroys all data unless you explicitly created a snapshot or RDB export beforehand.
