You significantly changed a complex Deployment Manager template and want to confirm that the dependencies of all defined resources are properly met before committing it to the project. You want the most rapid feedback on your changes. What should you do?

• Use granular logging statements within a Deployment Manager template authored in Python.
• Monitor activity of the Deployment Manager execution on the Stackdriver Logging page of the GCP Console.
• Execute the Deployment Manager template against a separate project with the same configuration, and monitor for failures.
• Execute the Deployment Manager template using the ---preview option in the same project, and observe the state of interdependent resources.

You will have several applications running on different Compute Engine instances in the same project. You want to specify at a more granular level the service account each instance uses when calling Google Cloud APIs. What should you do?

• When creating the instances, specify a Service Account for each instance
• When creating the instances, assign the name of each Service Account as instance metadata
• After starting the instances, use gcloud compute instances update to specify a Service Account for each instance
• After starting the instances, use gcloud compute instances update to assign the name of the relevant Service Account as instance metadata

You need to verify that a Google Cloud Platform service account was created at a particular time. What should you do?

• Filter the Activity log to view the Configuration category. Filter the Resource type to Service Account.
• Filter the Activity log to view the Configuration category. Filter the Resource type to Google Project.
• Filter the Activity log to view the Data Access category. Filter the Resource type to Service Account.
• Filter the Activity log to view the Data Access category. Filter the Resource type to Google Project.

Your customer wants you to create a secure website with autoscaling based on the compute instance CPU load. You want to enhance performance by storing static content in Cloud Storage. Which resources are needed to distribute the user traffic?

• An internal HTTP(S) load balancer together with Identity-Aware Proxy to allow only HTTPS traffic.
• An external HTTP(S) load balancer to distribute the load and a URL map to target the requests for the static content to the Cloud Storage backend. Install the HTTPS certificates on the instance.
• An external HTTP(S) load balancer with a managed SSL certificate to distribute the load and a URL map to target the requests for the static content to the Cloud Storage backend.
• An external network load balancer pointing to the backend instances to distribute the load evenly. The web servers will forward the request to the Cloud Storage as needed.

You need to update a deployment in Deployment Manager without any resource downtime in the deployment. Which command should you use?

• gcloud deployment-manager deployments create --config
• gcloud deployment-manager deployments update --config
• gcloud deployment-manager resources create --config
• gcloud deployment-manager resources update --config

You have a website hosted on App Engine standard environment. You want 1% of your users to see a new test version of the website. You want to minimize complexity. What should you do?

• Deploy the new version in the same application and use the --migrate option.
• Deploy the new version in the same application and use the --splits option to give a weight of 99 to the current version and a weight of 1 to the new version.
• Create a new App Engine application in the same project. Deploy the new version in that application. Use the App Engine library to proxy 1% of the requests to the new version.
• Create a new App Engine application in the same project. Deploy the new version in that application. Configure your network load balancer to send 1% of the traffic to that new application.

You are working in a team that has developed a new application that needs to be deployed on Kubernetes. The production application is business critical and should be optimized for reliability. You need to provision a Kubernetes cluster and want to follow Google-recommended practices. What should you do?

• Create a GKE Autopilot cluster. Enroll the cluster in the rapid release channel.
• Create a GKE Autopilot cluster. Enroll the cluster in the stable release channel.
• Create a zonal GKE standard cluster. Enroll the cluster in the stable release channel.
• Create a regional GKE standard cluster. Enroll the cluster in the rapid release channel.

Your company has a large quantity of unstructured data in different file formats. You want to perform ETL transformations on the data. You need to make the data accessible on Google Cloud so it can be processed by a Dataflow job. What should you do?

• Upload the data to BigQuery using the bq command line tool.
• Upload the data to Cloud Storage using the gsutil command line tool.
• Upload the data into Cloud SQL using the import function in the console.
• Upload the data into Cloud Spanner using the import function in the console.

You need to deploy a single stateless web application with a web interface and multiple endpoints. For security reasons, the web application must be reachable from an internal IP address from your company's private VPC and on-premises network. You also need to update the web application multiple times per day with minimal effort and want to manage a minimal amount of cloud infrastructure. What should you do?

• Deploy the web application on Google Kubernetes Engine standard edition with an internal ingress.
• Deploy the web application on Cloud Run with Private Google Access configured
• Deploy the web application to GKE Autopilot with Private Google Access configured
• Deploy the web application on Cloud Run with Private Service Connect configured.

You need to add a group of new users to Cloud Identity. Some of the users already have existing Google accounts. You want to follow one of Google's recommended practices and avoid conflicting accounts. What should you do?

• Invite the user to transfer their existing account
• Invite the user to use an email alias to resolve the conflict
• Tell the user that they must delete their existing account
• Tell the user to remove all personal email from the existing account
