You have an on-premises application that authenticates to the Cloud Storage API using a user-managed service account with a user-managed key. The application connects to Cloud Storage using Private Google Access over a Dedicated Interconnect link. You discover that requests from the application to access objects in the Cloud Storage bucket are failing with a 403 Permission Denied error code. What is the likely cause of this issue?
You have two tables in an ANSI-SQL compliant database with identical columns that you need to quickly
combine into a single table, removing duplicate rows from the result set.
What should you do?
You are developing an online gaming platform as a microservices application on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Users on social media are complaining about long loading times for certain URL requests to the application. You need to investigate performance bottlenecks in the application and identify which HTTP requests have a significantly high latency span in user requests. What should you do9
You need to copy directory local-scripts and all of its contents from your local workstation to a Compute
Engine virtual machine instance.
Which command should you use?
Your operations team has asked you to create a script that lists the Cloud Bigtable, Memorystore, and Cloud SQL databases running within a project. The script should allow users to submit a filter expression to limit the results presented. How should you retrieve the data?
You work for an organization that manages an ecommerce site. Your application is deployed behind a global HTTP(S) load balancer. You need to test a new product recommendation algorithm. You plan to use A/B testing to determine the new algorithm’s effect on sales in a randomized way. How should you test this feature?
You are developing an application that will be launched on Compute Engine instances into multiple distinct projects, each corresponding to the environments in your software development process (development, QA, staging, and production). The instances in each project have the same application code but a different configuration. During deployment, each instance should receive the application’s configuration based on the environment it serves. You want to minimize the number of steps to configure this flow.
What should you do?
Your application requires service accounts to be authenticated to GCP products via credentials stored on its host Compute Engine virtual machine instances. You want to distribute these credentials to the host instances as securely as possible. What should you do?
You want to migrate an on-premises container running in Knative to Google Cloud. You need to make sure that the migration doesn't affect your application's deployment strategy, and you want to use a fully managed service. Which Google Cloud service should you use to deploy your container?
You are designing a schema for a Cloud Spanner customer database. You want to store a phone number array field in a customer table. You also want to allow users to search customers by phone number. How should you design this schema?
You work for a web development team at a small startup. Your team is developing a Node.js application using Google Cloud services, including Cloud Storage and Cloud Build. The team uses a Git repository for version control. Your manager calls you over the weekend and instructs you to make an emergency update to one of the company’s websites, and you’re the only developer available. You need to access Google Cloud to make the update, but you don’t have your work laptop. You are not allowed to store source code locally on a non-corporate computer. How should you set up your developer environment?
You have a container deployed on Google Kubernetes Engine. The container can sometimes be slow to launch, so you have implemented a liveness probe. You notice that the liveness probe occasionally fails on launch. What should you do?
Your team is developing a Cloud Function triggered by Cloud Storage Events. You want to accelerate testing and development of your Cloud Function while following Google-recommended best practices. What should you do?
Your company’s development teams want to use various open source operating systems in their Docker builds.

You also want to keep the previous version deployed so that you can revert to it if there is an issue with the new version.
Which deployment strategy should you use?
You are working on a new application that is deployed on Cloud Run and uses Cloud Functions Each time new features are added, new Cloud Functions and Cloud Run services are deployed You use ENV variables to keep track of the services and enable interservice communication but the maintenance of the ENV variables has become difficult. You want to implement dynamic discovery in a scalable way. What should you do?
You are using Cloud Build build to promote a Docker image to Development, Test, and Production environments. You need to ensure that the same Docker image is deployed to each of these environments. How should you identify the Docker image in your build?
One of your deployed applications in Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is having intermittent performance issues. Your team uses a third-party logging solution. You want to install this solution on each node in your GKE cluster so you can view the logs. What should you do?
