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

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

    Answer: Dataflow

    Dataflow is GCP's fully managed service for executing Apache Beam pipelines in both batch and streaming modes.

  2. A GCP project is approaching its Compute Engine quota limit. What is the correct way to request a quota increase?

    Answer: Request an increase through the IAM & Admin > Quotas page in the Cloud Console

    Quota increases are requested directly through the IAM & Admin > Quotas page in the Cloud Console by selecting the specific quota and clicking 'Edit Quotas'.

  3. Which IAM role grants read-only access to all GCP resources within a project?

    Answer: roles/viewer

    The roles/viewer (Viewer) primitive role grants read-only access to all resources within the project it is assigned.

  4. What is the function of a GCP 'Shared VPC'?

    Answer: Allows multiple service projects to use a network defined in a host project

    Shared VPC lets an organization share a single VPC network (defined in a host project) across multiple service projects, centralizing network administration.

  5. Which GCP database service is best suited for globally distributed ACID transactions with horizontal scaling?

    Answer: Cloud Spanner

    Cloud Spanner provides globally distributed, strongly consistent ACID transactions with horizontal scaling, unique among relational databases.

  6. When using Google Kubernetes Engine, what is the difference between a node pool and a cluster?

    Answer: A cluster is the overall GKE environment containing one or more node pools of Compute Engine VMs

    A GKE cluster is the top-level GKE resource, and a node pool is a group of nodes within that cluster sharing the same configuration (machine type, image, etc.).

  7. Which GCP service provides managed Apache Kafka-compatible messaging with horizontal scalability?

    Answer: Managed Service for Apache Kafka

    GCP's Managed Service for Apache Kafka offers a fully managed, Kafka-compatible streaming service without requiring manual cluster operations.
