You are working on a social media application. You plan to add a feature that allows users to upload images. These images will be 2 MB - 1 GB in size. You want to minimize their infrastructure operations overhead for this feature. What should you do?

You have an application deployed in Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) that reads and processes Pub/Sub messages. Each Pod handles a fixed number of messages per minute. The rate at which messages are published to the Pub/Sub topic varies considerably throughout the day and week, including occasional large batches of messages published at a single moment.
You want to scale your GKE Deployment to be able to process messages in a timely manner. What GKE feature should you use to automatically adapt your workload?

Your team is writing a backend application to implement the business logic for an interactive voice response (IVR) system that will support a payroll application. The IVR system has the following technical characteristics:
* Each customer phone call is associated with a unique IVR session.
* The IVR system creates a separate persistent gRPC connection to the backend for each session.
* If the connection is interrupted, the IVR system establishes a new connection, causing a slight latency for that call.
You need to determine which compute environment should be used to deploy the backend application. Using current call data, you determine that:
* Call duration ranges from 1 to 30 minutes.
* Calls are typically made during business hours.
* There are significant spikes of calls around certain known dates (e.g., pay days), or when large payroll changes occur.
You want to minimize cost, effort, and operational overhead. Where should you deploy the backend application?

HipLocal has connected their Hadoop infrastructure to GCP using Cloud Interconnect in order to query data stored on persistent disks.
Which IP strategy should they use?

Your development team is using Cloud Build to promote a Node.js application built on App Engine from your staging environment to production. The application relies on several directories of photos stored in a Cloud Storage bucket named webphotos-staging in the staging environment. After the promotion, these photos must be available in a Cloud Storage bucket named webphotos-prod in the production environment. You want to automate the process where possible. What should you do?
A)
Manually copy the photos to webphotos-prod.
B)
Add a startup script in the application's app.yami file to move the photos from webphotos-staging to webphotos-prod.
C)
Add a build step in the cloudbuild.yaml file before the promotion step with the arguments:

D)
Add a build step in the cloudbuild.yaml file before the promotion step with the arguments:
