Planning and configuring a cloud solution

Question 1

The projected amount of cloud storage
required for Cymbal Superstore to
enable users to post pictures for
project reviews is 10 TB of immediate
access storage in the US and 30 TB of
storage for historical posts in a bucket
located near Cymbal Superstore’s
headquarters. The contents of this
bucket will need to be accessed once
every 30 days. You want to estimate
the cost of these storage resources to
ensure this is economically feasible.What should you do?

Answer 1

Use the pricing calculator to estimate the price for 10 TB of
multi-region standard storage, 30 TB for regional Nearline, and
egress charges for reads from the bucket.

Question 2

Cymbal Superstore decides to migrate
their supply chain application to Google
Cloud. You need to configure specific
operating system dependencies.
What should you do?

Answer 2

Implement an application using virtual machines on
Compute Engine.

Question 3

Cymbal Superstore decides to pilot a
cloud application for their point of sale
system in their flagship store. You want
to focus on code and develop your
solution quickly, and you want your
code to be portable.
How do you proceed?

Answer 3

Package your code to a container image and post it to
Cloud Run.

Question 4

An application running on a
highly-customized version of Ubuntu
needs to be migrated to Google Cloud.
You need to do this in the least amount
of time with minimal code changes.
How should you proceed?

Answer 4

Create Compute Engine Virtual Machines and

Question 5

You want to deploy a microservices
application. You need full control of how
you manage containers, reliability, and
autoscaling, but don’t want or need to
manage the control plane.
Which compute option should you use?

Answer 5

Google Kubernetes Engine
GKE gives you full control of container orchestration and availability.

Question 6

Cymbal Superstore needs to analyze whether
they met quarterly sales projections. Analysts
assigned to run this query are familiar with SQL.

What data solution should they implement?

Answer 6

BigQuery is GCP imp of a modern data warehouse. Analyzes historical data and uses an SQL query engine.

Question 7

Cymbal Superstore’s supply chain
application frequently analyzes large
amounts of data to inform business
processes and operational dashboards.
What storage class would make
sense for this use case?

Answer 7

“Standard” storage is best for frequently accessed data or “Hot” data co-locating resources w/ regional increases performance and reduces network latency.
???????
A. Multi-regional
B. Regional
C. Nearline
D. Coldline

Question 8

Cymbal Superstore has a need to populate visual
dashboards with historical time-based data. This
is an analytical use-case.
Which two storage solutions could they use?

Answer 8

BQ works w/ historical data.
BigTable, noSQL, is optimized for specificqueries. Used to store historic time-based data.

Question 9

Cymbal Superstore is piloting an
update to its ecommerce app for the
flagship store in Minneapolis,
Minnesota. The app is implemented as
a three-tier web service with traffic
originating from the local area and
resources dedicated for it in
us-central1. You need to configure a
secure, low-cost network
load-balancing architecture for it.
How do you proceed?

Answer 9

Configure a standard tier proxied external https load balancer
connected to the web tier as a frontend and a regional internal load
balancer between the web tier and the backend.

Question 10

What Google Cloud load balancing option
runs at Layer 7 of the TCP stack?

Answer 10

HTTPs is an app protocol, so it lives at layer 7 of the TCP stack.
