  2. What is a key advantage of using Committed Use Discounts (CUDs) in GCP Compute Engine?

    Answer: You receive up to 57% discount by committing to use specific resources for 1 or 3 years

  4. Which GCP service is best suited for running periodic, scheduled batch jobs without provisioning servers?

    Answer: Cloud Functions with Cloud Scheduler

    Cloud Scheduler combined with Cloud Functions lets you run serverless code on a cron schedule without managing any server infrastructure.

  5. What is the purpose of VPC Service Controls in GCP?

    Answer: Create security perimeters around GCP resources to mitigate data exfiltration risk

    VPC Service Controls let you define security perimeters around GCP API-based resources to prevent data exfiltration and enforce access boundaries.

  6. Which tool in GCP helps estimate the monthly cost of a planned architecture before deployment?

    Answer: Google Cloud Pricing Calculator

    The Google Cloud Pricing Calculator lets you model your intended GCP usage and get an estimated monthly cost before committing to any resources.

  7. What is the key characteristic of Anthos in GCP?

    Answer: A platform for managing and deploying applications across multi-cloud and on-premises environments
