Question 1

You are designing storage for two relational tables that are part of a 10-TB database on Google Cloud.
You want to support transactions that scale horizontally. You also want to optimize data for range queries on non-key columns. What should you do?
  • Question 2

    Your company built a TensorFlow neutral-network model with a large number of neurons and layers. The model fits well for the training data. However, when tested against new data, it performs poorly.
    What method can you employ to address this?
  • Question 3

    You need to set access to BigQuery for different departments within your company. Your solution should comply with the following requirements:
    * Each department should have access only to their data.
    * Each department will have one or more leads who need to be able to create and update tables and provide them to their team.
    * Each department has data analysts who need to be able to query but not modify data.
    How should you set access to the data in BigQuery?
  • Question 4

    You plan to deploy Cloud SQL using MySQL. You need to ensure high availability in the event of a zone failure. What should you do?
  • Question 5

    You have spent a few days loading data from comma-separated values (CSV) files into the Google BigQuery table CLICK_STREAM. The column DT stores the epoch time of click events. For convenience, you chose a simple schema where every field is treated as the STRING type. Now, you want to compute web session durations of users who visit your site, and you want to change its data type to the TIMESTAMP. You want to minimize the migration effort without making future queries computationally expensive. What should you do?
