  1. What term best sums up a Google Cloud Architect's job?

    Answer: A person with the ability to create, manage, and use strong, secure, scalable, highly available, and dynamic solutions to advance business goals

    Explanation: Although all answers are technically valid, the question is seeking the best definition of the work of a Google Cloud Architect, which is an individual who can design, construct and manage resilient, secure, scalable, highly available, and dynamic solutions to drive business objectives.

  2. A Kubernetes platform solution from IBM Red Hat called OpenShift is going to be implemented by your organization across all of its on-premises and public cloud environments. What kind of shared responsibility model will this deployment entail for you, as the lead architect accountable for your company's GCP deployments?

    Answer: IaaS

    Explanation: The important thing to keep in mind is that in order for a service provider (in this case, GCP) to assume responsibility for its PaaS, the service must be made available as a managed service. GKE, a Kubernetes platform provided by GCP, is available. OpenShift, however, is not a PaaS service provided by Google. As a result, Google will not be held accountable for the architecture and internal workings of your OpenShift setups. All of the virtual machines that OpenShift will deploy as part of its GCP deployment must be managed. In light of the shared responsibility approach, this implementation is an IaaS.

  3. The focus of the least privilege principle is:

    Answer: Minimizing the amount of privileges that a single user has to the bare minimum needed to perform their job duties

  4. Business organizations can accomplish all of the following, with the exception of:

    Answer: Minimize the amount of projects needed to leverage GCP effectively

    Explanation: Designing an efficient cloud development and deployment strategy does not include minimizing the number of projects that are used in your GCP environment. The objective of cloud governance is to enable the consistent application of policies throughout the entire organization while also reducing the blast radius. The many-projects method can be used to accomplish this. Keeping the number of projects to a minimum prevents you from adequately managing access control and assigning tasks.

  7. Which of the following is not a metric?

    Answer: Average time to rehydrate AMIs
