A. Install Anthos Service Mesh on your cluster. Use the Google Cloud Console to define a Service Level Objective (SLO), and create an alerting policy based on this SLO

During a high traffic portion of the day, one of your relational databases crashes, but the replica is never promoted to a master. You want to avoid this in the future.What should you do? A. Use a different database B. Choose larger instances for your database Most Voted C. Create snapshots of your database more regularly D. Implement routinely scheduled failovers of your databases

Option D, implementing routinely scheduled failovers of your databases, is the best option in this scenario. This ensures that if the primary database crashes, the replica will automatically be promoted to the master and take over database operations, preventing any downtime or data loss. This can be achieved by setting up automatic failover mechanisms or by manually promoting the replica to the master as soon as the primary database goes down.

You are configuring the cloud network architecture for a newly created project in Google Cloud that will host applications in Compute Engine. Compute Engine virtual machine instances will be created in two different subnets (sub-a and sub-b) within a single region:• Instances in sub-a will have public IP addresses.• Instances in sub-b will have only private IP addresses.To download updated packages, instances must connect to a public repository outside the boundaries of Google Cloud. You need to allow sub-b to access the external repository. What should you do? A. Enable Private Google Access on sub-b. B. Configure Cloud NAT and select sub-b in the NAT mapping section. C. Configure a bastion host instance in sub-a to connect to instances in sub-b. D. Enable Identity-Aware Proxy for TCP forwarding for instances in sub-b

It is deployed in the us-central1 region and uses autoscaled managed instance groups on all layers, except the database. Currently, only a small group of select customers have access to the portal. The portal meets a99,99% availability SLA under these conditions. However next quarter, your company will be making the portal available to all users, including unauthenticated users. You need to develop a resiliency testing strategy to ensure the system maintains the SLA once they introduce additional user load.What should you do? A. Capture existing users input, and replay captured user load until autoscale is triggered on all layers. At the same time, terminate all resources in one of the zones B. Create synthetic random user input, replay synthetic load until autoscale logic is triggered on at least one layer, and introduce ג€chaosג€ to the system by terminating random resources on both zones C. Expose the new system to a larger group of users, and increase group size each day until autoscale logic is triggered on all layers. At the same time, terminate random resources on both zones

B.

Your company has an application running on Google Cloud that is collecting data from thousands of physical devices that are globally distributed. Data is published to Pub/Sub and streamed in real time into an SSD Cloud Bigtable cluster via a Dataflow pipeline. The operations team informs you that your CloudBigtable cluster has a hotspot, and queries are taking longer than expected. You need to resolve the problem and prevent it from happening in the future. What should you do? A. Advise your clients to use HBase APIs instead of NodeJS APIs. B. Delete records older than 30 days. C. Review your RowKey strategy and ensure that keys are evenly spread across the alphabet. D. Double the number of nodes you currently have

C. Review your RowKey strategy and ensure that keys are evenly spread across the alphabet. The RowKey is used to sort data within a Cloud Bigtable cluster. If the keys are not evenly spread across the alphabet, it can result in a hotspot and slow down queries. To prevent this from happening in the future, you should review your RowKey strategy and ensure that keys are evenly spread across the alphabet. This will help to distribute the data evenly across the cluster and improve query performance. Other potential solutions to consider include adding more nodes to the cluster or optimizing your query patterns. However, deleting records older than 30 days or advising clients to use HBase APIs instead of NodeJS APIs would not address the issue of a hotspot in the cluster.

You have a Compute Engine managed instance group that adds and removes Compute Engine instances from the group in response to the load on your application. The instances have a shutdown script that removes REDIS database entries associated with the instance.

You need to deploy an application to Google Cloud. The application receives traffic via TCP and reads and writes data to the filesystem. The application does not support horizontal scaling. The application process requires full control over the data on the file system because concurrent access causes corruption.

The network load balancer is designed to handle TCP and UDP traffic The HTTP(S) load balancer is designed specifically for HTTP and HTTPS traffic.

You are working at an institution that processes medical data. You are migrating several workloads onto Google Cloud. Company policies require all workloads to run on physically separated hardware, and workloads from different clients must also be separated.

Add the node group name as a network tag when creating Compute Engine instances in order to host each workload on the correct node group. B. Add the node name as a network tag when creating Compute Engine instances in order to host each workload on the correct node. C. Use node affinity labels based on the node group name when creating Compute Engine instances in order to host each workload on the correct node group. D. Use node affinity labels based on the node name when creating Compute Engine instances in order to host each workload on the correct node

D. Use node affinity labels based on the node name when creating Compute Engine instances in order to host each workload on the correct node The above reference clearly articulates the default affinity label for node group and node name. Unless we're thinking about growing each client to their own dedicated node groups (not in the current requirement), then the answer is not C, rather D. Compute Engine assigns two default affinity labels to each node: A label for the node group name: Key: compute.googleapis.com/node-group-name Value: Name of the node group. A label for the node name: Key: compute.googleapis.com/node-name Value: Name of the individual node Afinity should be set at node level, not node-group as every client has its own node in the group
