Question 91
An organization wants to transfer some of its data from Google Cloud. Which of these statements is true?
A. Customer data may not be transferred out of Google Cloud.
B. Customers have full control of their data and may transfer it at any time.
C. Outgoing data transfer must be enabled in the Google Cloud console.
D. A technical support ticket must be raised with the correct department.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: In Google Cloud, customers retain ownership and control of their data. Google supports data portability, allowing customers to export or transfer their data at any time using available tools and APIs. There is no general prohibition, special console enablement, or requirement to open a support ticket to move data out.
Question 92
An organization needs a flexible and scalable NoSQL database with strong web and mobile application support. Which Google Cloud product or service should the organization use?
A. Cloud Spanner
B. Cloud Storage
C. BigQuery
D. Firestore
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: The requirement is for a flexible, scalable NoSQL database with strong support for web and mobile applications. Firestore is a fully managed NoSQL document database designed specifically for web and mobile development, offering automatic scaling, real-time data synchronization, offline support, and SDKs for multiple platforms. The other options do not fit: Cloud Spanner is a relational database, Cloud Storage is object storage, and BigQuery is an analytics data warehouse.
Question 93
An organization is concerned about the unlikely event that Google Cloud infrastructure is physically accessed by someone with malicious intent. How is data protected in Google Cloud?
A. Data is immediately deleted whenever an intrusion is detected.
B. Data is stored on quantum computers with unbreakable encryption.
C. Data is stored using robust encryption.
D. Data is stored in random locations around the world to prevent it being found.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Google Cloud protects data using strong, layered encryption. Data is encrypted by default at rest and in transit using robust cryptographic algorithms, so even if someone were to gain physical access to infrastructure, the data would be unreadable without the appropriate encryption keys. The other options describe unrealistic or incorrect security measures.
Question 94
What is the benefit of using a serverless data processing pipeline service?
A. Full control over compute resources is provided.
B. Processed data will not require analysis.
C. Pipeline infrastructure is fully managed and scalable.
D. Processed data is guaranteed to be free of errors.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Serverless data processing pipelines abstract away infrastructure management. The cloud provider handles provisioning, scaling, maintenance, and availability automatically, allowing the pipeline to scale with workload without manual resource control.
Question 95
An organization is running SQL Server on-premises and is struggling with capacity and management overhead. They want to modernize this database quickly by using Google products or services. What should the organization do?
A. Refactor applications to use a cloud first database like Firestore.
B. Perform a managed database migration to Cloud SQL.
C. Export old tables from SQL Server to Cloud Storage.
D. Migrate all SQL Server data to BigQuery.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: The goal is to modernize quickly while reducing capacity and management overhead with minimal application changes. Cloud SQL is a fully managed Google Cloud service that supports SQL Server, handling patching, backups, scaling, and maintenance. This directly addresses operational overhead and capacity issues without requiring refactoring. The other options either require major application changes or are unsuitable replacements for an operational SQL Server database.
Question 96
What is an organization responsible for when migrating from on-premises to the cloud?
A. Covering the cost of cloud service downtime
B. Managing underlying network infrastructure
C. Adapting to a pay-as-you-go cloud expenditure model
D. Optimizing cloud storage systems
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: When migrating from on-premises to the cloud, organizations are responsible for adapting to a pay-as-you-go (OpEx) cost model. This involves changing budgeting, cost tracking, and financial governance practices compared to the traditional CapEx model. The cloud provider handles infrastructure availability and underlying networking, while storage optimization is optional rather than a core responsibility.
Question 97
What makes Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) an effective solution for developers working to resolve application errors?
A. It reduces the time needed to iterate on various solutions.
B. It provides intelligent recommendations to optimize application development.
C. It removes the need for containerizing applications.
D. It stores application code on multiple servers to facilitate collaboration across silos.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: GKE is effective for resolving application errors because it enables rapid iteration through features like automated deployments, scaling, rollbacks, and managed infrastructure. These capabilities let developers quickly test fixes, deploy changes, and revert if needed, significantly reducing the time required to iterate on solutions.
Question 98
What DevOps practice should an organization use when developing their application to help minimize disruption caused by bugs?
A. Pause production until all bugs have been eliminated
B. Prioritize fixing large bugs during production because they are easier to review
C. Implement small changes incrementally to reduce recovery time when bugs appear
D. Implement large changes together to make rolling back easier when bugs appear
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: DevOps emphasizes frequent, small, incremental changes. Smaller changes are easier to test, review, and deploy, and when a bug appears, it is faster to identify, fix, or roll back with minimal impact. This approach reduces risk and recovery time compared to large, infrequent changes.
Question 99
An organization is looking for a storage solution that will help them serve content to users worldwide. They need a solution that offers a high level of availability.
What feature of Cloud Storage would they benefit from?
A. Multi-regional storage
B. Global metadata
C. Data encryption
D. Object versioning
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Multi-regional storage replicates data across multiple geographically separated regions, providing higher availability and lower latency for users worldwide. This makes it ideal for serving global content with strong availability requirements, unlike features such as encryption or versioning which do not address global access or availability.
Question 100
An organization with a commissions-based business model is struggling to predict cloud costs due to fluctuating revenue.
How can the organization optimize the use of their cloud resources?
A. By applying intelligent recommendations
B. By decentralizing financial decision making
C. By sharing project ownership across all teams
D. By increasing their capital expenditure
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: A commissions-based business has variable demand, so optimizing cloud usage requires continuously adjusting resources to actual consumption. Intelligent recommendations from cloud cost-management tools analyze usage patterns, detect idle or overprovisioned resources, and suggest right-sizing or automated actions. This directly helps control and optimize cloud costs despite fluctuating revenue, whereas decentralization, shared ownership, or higher capital expenditure do not address resource efficiency.
