Google's Professional Cloud Architect 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?

Google's Professional Cloud Architect Your applications will be writing their logs to BigQuery for analysis. Each application should have its own table. Any logs older than 45 days should be removed.You want to optimize storage and follow Google-recommended practices. What should you do?

Google's Professional Cloud Architect You want your Google Kubernetes Engine cluster to automatically add or remove nodes based on CPU load.What should you do?

Google's Professional Cloud Architect You need to develop procedures to verify resilience of disaster recovery for remote recovery using GCP. Your production environment is hosted on-premises. You need to establish a secure, redundant connection between your on-premises network and the GCP network.What should you do?

Google's Professional Cloud Architect Your company operates nationally and plans to use GCP for multiple batch workloads, including some that are not time-critical. You also need to use GCP services that are HIPAA-certified and manage service costs.How should you design to meet Google best practices?

Google's Professional Cloud Architect Your customer wants to do resilience testing of their authentication layer. This consists of a regional managed instance group serving a public REST API that reads from and writes to a Cloud SQL instance.What should you do?

Google's Professional Cloud Architect Your BigQuery project has several users. For audit purposes, you need to see how many queries each user ran in the last month. What should you do?

Google's Professional Cloud Architect You want to automate the creation of a managed instance group. The VMs have many OS package dependencies. You want to minimize the startup time for newVMs in the instance group.What should you do?

Google's Professional Cloud Architect Your company captures all web traffic data in Google Analytics 360 and stores it in BigQuery. Each country has its own dataset. Each dataset has multiple tables.You want analysts from each country to be able to see and query only the data for their respective countries.How should you configure the access rights?

Google's Professional Cloud Architect You have been engaged by your client to lead the migration of their application infrastructure to GCP. One of their current problems is that the on-premises high performance SAN is requiring frequent and expensive upgrades to keep up with the variety of workloads that are identified as follows: 20 TB of log archives retained for legal reasons; 500 GB of VM boot/data volumes and templates; 500 GB of image thumbnails; 200 GB of customer session state data that allows customers to restart sessions even if off-line for several days.Which of the following best reflects your recommendations for a cost-effective storage allocation?

Google's Professional Cloud Architect Your web application uses Google Kubernetes Engine to manage several workloads. One workload requires a consistent set of hostnames even after pod scaling and relaunches.Which feature of Kubernetes should you use to accomplish this?
