Question 76

At Dress4Win, an operations engineer wants to create a tow-cost solution to remotely archive copies of database backup files.
The database files are compressed tar files stored in their current data center.
How should he proceed?

A.Create a cron script using gsutil to copy the files to a Coldline Storage bucket.

B.Create a cron script using gsutil to copy the files to a Regional Storage bucket.

C.Create a Cloud Storage Transfer Service Job to copy the files to a Coldline Storage bucket.

D.Create a Cloud Storage Transfer Service job to copy the files to a Regional Storage bucket.

Question 77

To reduce costs, the Director of Engineering has required all developers to move their development infrastructure resources from on-premises virtual machines (VMs) to Google Cloud Platform. These resources go through multiple start/stop events during the day and require state to persist. You have been asked to design the process of running a development environment in Google Cloud while providing cost visibility to the finance department.
Which two steps should you take? Choose 2 answers.

A.Use the - -no-auto-delete flag on all persistent disks and stop the VM

B.Use the - -auto-delete flag on all persistent disks and terminate the VM

C.Apply VM CPU utilization label and include it in the BigQuery billing export

D.Use Google BigQuery billing export and labels to associate cost to groups

E.Store all state into local SSD, snapshot the persistent disks, and terminate the VM

F.Store all state in Google Cloud Storage, snapshot the persistent disks, and terminate the VM

Question 78

For this question, refer to the TerramEarth case study. You are asked to design a new architecture for the ingestion of the data of the 200,000 vehicles that are connected to a cellular network. You want to follow Google-recommended practices.
Considering the technical requirements, which components should you use for the ingestion of the data?

A.Google Kubernetes Engine with an SSL Ingress

B.Cloud IoT Core with public/private key pairs

C.Compute Engine with project-wide SSH keys

D.Compute Engine with specific SSH keys

Correct Answer: B

Dress4Win, A
Testlet 1
Company Overview
Dress4Win is a web-based company that helps their users organize and manage their personal wardrobe using a website and mobile application. The company also cultivates an active social network that connects their users with designers and retailers. They monetize their services through advertising, e-commerce, referrals, and a premium app model.
Company Background
Dress4Win's application has grown from a few servers in the founder's garage to several hundred servers and appliances in a collocated data center. However, the capacity of their infrastructure is now insufficient for the application's rapid growth. Because of this growth and the company's desire to innovate faster, Dress4Win is committing to a full migration to a public cloud.
Solution Concept
For the first phase of their migration to the cloud, Dress4Win is considering moving their development and test environments. They are also considering building a disaster recovery site, because their current infrastructure is at a single location. They are not sure which components of their architecture they can migrate as is and which components they need to change before migrating them.
Existing Technical Environment
The Dress4Win application is served out of a single data center location.
* Databases:
- MySQL - user data, inventory, static data
- Redis - metadata, social graph, caching
* Application servers:
- Tomcat - Java micro-services
- Nginx - static content
- Apache Beam - Batch processing
* Storage appliances:
- iSCSI for VM hosts
- Fiber channel SAN - MySQL databases
- NAS - image storage, logs, backups
* Apache Hadoop/Spark servers:
- Data analysis
- Real-time trending calculations
* MQ servers:
- Messaging
- Social notifications
- Events
* Miscellaneous servers:
- Jenkins, monitoring, bastion hosts, security scanners
Business Requirements
* Build a reliable and reproducible environment with scaled parity of production.
* Improve security by defining and adhering to a set of security and Identity and Access Management (IAM) best practices for cloud.
* Improve business agility and speed of innovation through rapid provisioning of new resources.
* Analyze and optimize architecture for performance in the cloud.
* Migrate fully to the cloud if all other requirements are met.
Technical Requirements
* Evaluate and choose an automation framework for provisioning resources in cloud.
* Support failover of the production environment to cloud during an emergency.
* Identify production services that can migrate to cloud to save capacity.
* Use managed services whenever possible.
* Encrypt data on the wire and at rest.
* Support multiple VPN connections between the production data center and cloud environment.
CEO Statement
Our investors are concerned about our ability to scale and contain costs with our current infrastructure.
They are also concerned that a new competitor could use a public cloud platform to offset their up-front investment and freeing them to focus on developing better features.
CTO Statement
We have invested heavily in the current infrastructure, but much of the equipment is approaching the end of its useful life. We are consistently waiting weeks for new gear to be racked before we can start new projects. Our traffic patterns are highest in the mornings and weekend evenings; during other times, 80% of our capacity is sitting idle.
CFO Statement
Our capital expenditure is now exceeding our quarterly projections. Migrating to the cloud will likely cause an initial increase in spending, but we expect to fully transition before our next hardware refresh cycle. Our total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis over the next 5 years puts a cloud strategy between 30 to 50% lower than our current model.

Question 79

B.Cloud Deployment Manager APIs could be deprecated in the future.

C.Cloud Deployment Manager is unfamiliar to the company's engineers.

D.Cloud Deployment Manager requires a Google APIs service account to run.

E.Cloud Deployment Manager can be used to permanently delete cloud resources.

F.Cloud Deployment Manager only supports automation of Google Cloud resources.

Question 80

For this question, refer to the TerramEarth case study.
TerramEarth's CTO wants to use the raw data from connected vehicles to help identify approximately when a vehicle in the development team to focus their failure. You want to allow analysts to centrally query the vehicle data. Which architecture should you recommend?
