enable businesses to have multiple
applications running at the same
time on a server.

Answer 1

Virtual machines

Question 2

your organization chooses to,
it can move some or all of its
infrastructure away from physical
data centers to virtualized data
centers in the cloud.

Answer 2

have to manage the infrastructure
and for some services you only pay
for what you use.

Answer 3

platform as
a service

Question 4

A ____ sits on top of physical hardware, and multiple VMs are built on top of it. It’s like having multiple computers that only use one piece of hardware

Answer 4

A hypervisor

It is a software layer

Question 5

• recreate, or virtualize, the operating systems
• only hold exactly what’s needed for the particular
  application that they support. They start faster, use less
  memory, and allow developers to create predictable environments.
• They are like prefabricated units placed on top of each other.
  This means that any problem that arises is easier to isolate and fix.

Answer 5

Containers

Question 6

Serverless computing solutions
are often called ______. Businesses provide the
code for whatever function they
want and the public cloud provider
does everything else.

Answer 6

‘Function-as-a -service.’

Question 7

____ is where an organization has virtualized servers in its own data centers to create its own private on-premises environment. This might be done when an organization has already made significant investments in its own infrastructure, or if, for regulatory reasons, data needs to be kept on-premises.

Answer 7

Private cloud

Question 8

____ is where an organization is using a combination of on-premises or private cloud infrastructure and public cloud services. Some data and applications have been migrated to the cloud and others remain on premises.

Answer 8

Question 9

____ is where an organization is using multiple public cloud providers as part of its architecture.
The organization needs flexibility and secure connectivity between the different networks involved.

Answer 9

Provides a managed environment for deploying, managing, and scaling your containerized applications using Google infrastructure. The ____ environment consists of
multiple machines grouped together to form a cluster.

Answer 13

Google Kubernetes Engine or GKE

• GKE allows you to securely
  speed up app development,
  streamline operations, and
  manage infrastructure.

Question 14

A Platform as a Service and cloud computing
platform for developing and hosting web applications. It lets
app developers build scalable web and mobile back ends in any
programming language on a fully managed serverless platform.

Answer 14

Google App Engine

Question 15

Allows you to build applications in your favorite
programming language, with your favorite dependencies and tools, and deploy them in seconds. It abstracts
away all infrastructure management by automatically scaling up
and down from zero almost instantaneously—depending on traffic

Answer 15

Cloud Run

Question 16

A serverless execution environment for building
and connecting cloud services. It offers scalable, pay-as-you-go
functions as a service to run your code with zero server management.

Answer 16

Cloud Functions

Question 17

The ____
approach typically starts with a “lift
and shift” program for selected
applications. The migration typically
brings minimal changes to ways of
working within the organization, but
once the applications are running in
the cloud, they are then ready to be
updated more easily than when they
were running on-premises.

Answer 17

“move first and then change”

Question 18

If an organization wants to take a more
aggressive approach to modernizing its
applications, they can re-architect
applications first, to make them more
cloud-ready, before migrating them.

Answer 18

Change applications
before they move

Question 19

_____ allows you to
build innovative applications that will
help drive the business forward, but
it does require agility, access to a
diverse development skill set, and
strong support from leadership.

Answer 19

Inventing in greenfield

Question 20

____ is to invent
a new application in the cloud
environment that will replace an
existing legacy application that
remains on-premises. The legacy
application is only retired after
the new application is built

Answer 20

Invent in brownfield

Question 21

For some use cases, it’s sufficient to
leverage the cloud just to modernize
the infrastructure layer. Use cases
include switching to cloud storage
to decommission on-premises data
centers, or creating virtualized
environments for disaster recovery.

Answer 21

Move applications
without any changes

Question 22

A ____ architecture
separates a large application
into small, loosely coupled
services. This means it’s easy
to determine where code needs
to be changed and the service
can be updated, deployed, and
scaled independently.

Answer 22

microservice

Question 23

Adopting an _____ can help you increase your
application release velocity and reliability. You can test and roll out changes incrementally. This approach enables you to lower the risk of regressions, debug issues quickly, and roll
back to the last stable build if necessary– all without interrupting service for your users

Answer 23

automated continuous integration or ‘CI/CD’

Question 24

____ allows developers
to divide an application design into
individual compartments. Parts of
the code can be updated without
affecting the whole application. This
builds resilience, because one error
doesn’t impact the whole application

Answer 24

An open-source container-orchestration system
for automating computer application deployment, scaling, and management.

Answer 25

Kubernetes

Question 26

The Google Cloud managed service for
container orchestration. ___ enables rapid application development and iteration by making it easy to deploy, update, and manage your applications and services.

Answer 26

Google Kubernetes Engine or GKE

Question 27

___ is a platform for building
scalable web applications and
mobile backends. ____ will
scale your application automatically
in response to the amount of traffic
it receives, so you only pay for the
resources you use.

Answer 27

App Engine

• You can easily run multiple versions
  of your app to test new features or
  designs with end users. Because
  there are no servers for you to
  provision or maintain, the monitoring
  and maintenance processes are
  easier too.
