Your company wants to standardize the creation and management of multiple Google Cloud resources using Infrastructure as Code. You want to minimize the amount of repetitive code needed to manage the environment. What should you do?

• A. Create a bash script that contains all requirement steps as gcloud commands.
• B. Use the Cloud Console interface to provision and manage all related resources.
• C. Use curl in a terminal to send a REST request to the relevant Google API for each individual resource.
• D. Develop templates for the environment using Cloud Deployment Manager.

You are a Google Cloud organization administrator. You need to configure organization policies and log sinks on Google Cloud projects that cannot be removed by project users to comply with your company's security policies. The security policies are different for each company department. Each company department has a user with the Project Owner role assigned to their projects. What should you do?

• A. Organize projects under folders for each department. Configure organization policies on the organization and log sinks on the folders.
• B. Use a standard naming convention for projects that includes the department name. Configure both organization policies and log sinks on the projects.
• C. Organize projects under folders for each department. Configure both organization policies and log sinks on the folders.
• D. Use a standard naming convention for projects that includes the department name. Configure organization policies on the organization and log sinks on the projects.

You need to manage a third-party application that will run on a Compute Engine instance. Other Compute Engine instances are already running with default configuration. Application installation files are hosted on Cloud Storage. You need to access these files from the new instance without allowing other virtual machines (VMs) to access these files. What should you do?

• A. Create the instance with the default Compute Engine service account.
  Grant the service account permissions on Cloud Storage.
• B. Create the instance with the default Compute Engine service account.
  Add metadata to the objects on Cloud Storage that matches the metadata on the new instance.
• C. Create a new service account and assign this service account to the new instance.
  Grant the service account permissions on Cloud Storage.
• D. Create a new service account and assign this service account to the new instance.
  Add metadata to the objects on Cloud Storage that matches the metadata on the new instance.

You are hosting an application from Compute Engine virtual machines (VMs) in us-central1-a.
You want to adjust your design to support the failure of a single Compute Engine zone, eliminate downtime, and minimize cost. What should you do?

• A. - Create Compute Engine resources in us-central1-b.
  - Balance the load across both us-central1-a and us-central1-b.
• B. - Perform regular backups of your application.
  - Create a Cloud Monitoring Alert and be notified if your application becomes unavailable.
  - Restore from backups when notified.
• C. - Create a Managed Instance Group and specify us-central1-a as the zone.
  - Configure the Health Check with a short Health Interval.
• D. - Create an HTTP(S) Load Balancer.
  - Create one or more global forwarding rules to direct traffic to your VMs.

Your company publishes large files on an Apache web server that runs on a Compute Engine instance. The Apache web server is not the only application running in the project. You want to receive an email when the egress network costs for the server exceed 100 dollars for the current month as measured by Google Cloud Platform (GCP). What should you do?

• A. Set up a budget alert on the project with an amount of 100 dollars, a threshold of 100%, and notification type of "email."
• B. Export the billing data to BigQuery.
  Create a Cloud Function that uses BigQuery to sum the egress network costs of the exported billing data for the Apache web server for the current month and sends an email if it is over 100 dollars.
  Schedule the Cloud Function using Cloud Scheduler to run hourly.
• C. Set up a budget alert on the billing account with an amount of 100 dollars, a threshold of 100%, and notification type of "email."
• D. Use the Stackdriver Logging Agent to export the Apache web server logs to Stackdriver Logging.
  Create a Cloud Function that uses BigQuery to parse the HTTP response log data in Stackdriver for the current month and sends an email if the size of all HTTP responses, multiplied by current GCP egress prices, totals over 100 dollars. Schedule the Cloud Function using Cloud Scheduler to run hourly.
