Question 1

Which GCP service provides distributed, low-latency caching compatible with the Memcached and Redis APIs?

Accepted Answer

Memorystore

Memorystore is GCP's fully managed in-memory data store service offering compatibility with both Redis and Memcached APIs.

Question 2

A GCP audit requires proof of who accessed a specific Cloud Storage bucket over the last 90 days. Which service provides this information?

Accepted Answer

Cloud Audit Logs (Data Access logs)

Answer

Cloud Audit Logs Data Access logs record API calls that read resource configurations or metadata and access user-provided data, including Cloud Storage bucket access.

Question 3

What happens to data stored in a regional Cloud Storage bucket if the entire region experiences an outage?

Accepted Answer

Data becomes inaccessible until the region recovers

Answer

Regional buckets store data in a single region, so a full regional outage makes that data inaccessible until the region is restored.

Question 4

Which GCP networking feature allows a VM without an external IP address to access the internet for outbound connections?

Accepted Answer

Cloud NAT

Answer

Cloud NAT provides outbound internet connectivity for VM instances that only have internal IP addresses, without exposing them to inbound connections.

Question 5

Which GCP Compute Engine feature allows you to maintain a consistent IP address even when a VM is stopped and restarted?

Accepted Answer

Static external IP address reservation

Answer

Reserving a static external IP address in GCP ensures the same IP is assigned to the VM across stop/start cycles, unlike ephemeral IPs that are released on stop.
