    core CPUs



    * 20 machines in US East Coast, each machine has:
    -core CPU



    Storage
    * Access to shared 100 TB SAN in each location
    * Tape backup every week
    Business Requirements
    * Optimize for capacity during peak periods and value during off-peak periods
    * Guarantee service availably and support
    * Reduce on-premises footprint and associated financial and environmental impact.
    * Move to outsourcing model to avoid large upfront costs associated with infrastructure purchase
    * Expand services into Asia.
    Technical Requirements
    * Assess key application for cloud suitability.
    * Modify application for the cloud.
    * Move applications to a new infrastructure.
    * Leverage managed services wherever feasible

    CEO Statement
    JencoMart will continue to develop personal relationships with our customers as more people access the web. The future of our retail business is in the global market and the connection between online and in-store experiences. As a large global company, we also have a responsibility to the environment through 'green' initiatives and polices.
    CTO Statement
    The challenges of operating data centers prevents focus on key technologies critical to our long- term success. Migrating our data services to a public cloud infrastructure will allow us to focus on big data and machine learning to improve our service customers.
    CFO Statement
    Since its founding JencoMart has invested heavily in our data services infrastructure. However, because of changing market trends, we need to outsource our infrastructure to ensure our long- term success. This model will allow us to respond to increasing customer demand during peak and reduce costs.

    A few days after JencoMart migrates the user credentials database to Google Cloud Platform and shuts down the old server, the new database server stops responding to SSH connections. It is still serving database requests to the application servers correctly. What three steps should you take to diagnose the problem? Choose 3 answers
  • Question 3

    Your company has decided to build a backup replica of their on-premises user authentication PostgreSQL database on Google Cloud Platform. The database is 4 TB, and large updates are frequent. Replication requires private address space communication.
    Which networking approach should you use?
  • Question 4

    Your company has a networking team and a development team. The development team runs applications on Compute Engine instances that contain sensitive dat a. The development team requires administrative permissions for Compute Engine. Your company requires all network resources to be managed by the networking team. The development team does not want the networking team to have access to the sensitive data on the instances. What should you do?
  • Question 5

    You want to establish a Compute Engine application in a single VPC across two regions. The application must communicate over VPN to an on-premises network. How should you deploy the VPN?
