For this question, refer to the Dress4Win case study.

Dress4Win has asked you for advice on how to migrate their on-premises MySQL deployment to the cloud. They want to minimize downtime and performance impact to their on-premises solution during the migration. Which approach should you recommend?

A.

Create a dump of the on-premises MySQL master server, and then shut it down, upload it to the cloud environment, and load into a new MySQL cluster.

B.

Setup a MySQL replica server/slave in the cloud environment, and configure it for asynchronous replication from the MySQL master server on-premises until cutover.

C.

Create a new MySQL cluster in the cloud, configure applications to begin writing to both on-premises and cloud MySQL masters, and destroy the original cluster at cutover.

D.

Create a dump of the MySQL replica server into the cloud environment, load it into: Google Cloud Datastore, and configure applications to read/write to Cloud Datastore at cutover.

For this question, refer to the Dress4Win case study.

Dress4Win has end-to-end tests covering 100% of their endpoints. They want to ensure that the move to the cloud does not introduce any new bugs. Which additional testing methods should the developers employ to prevent an outage?

A.

They should enable Google Stackdriver Debugger on the application code to show errors in the code.

B.

They should add additional unit tests and production scale load tests on their cloud staging environment.

C.

They should run the end-to-end tests in the cloud staging environment to determine if the code is working as intended.

D.

They should add canary tests so developers can measure how much of an impact the new release causes to latency.

For this question, refer to the Dress4Win case study.

At Dress4Win, an operations engineer wants to create a tow-cost solution to remotely archive copies of database backup files. The database files are compressed tar files stored in their current data center. How should he proceed?

A.

Create a cron script using gsutil to copy the files to a Coldline Storage bucket.

B.

Create a cron script using gsutil to copy the files to a Regional Storage bucket.

C.

Create a Cloud Storage Transfer Service Job to copy the files to a Coldline Storage bucket.

D.

Create a Cloud Storage Transfer Service job to copy the files to a Regional Storage bucket.

The current Dress4win system architecture has high latency to some customers because it is located in one

data center.

As of a future evaluation and optimizing for performance in the cloud, Dresss4win wants to distribute it ' s system

architecture to multiple locations when Google cloud platform.

Which approach should they use?

A.

Use regional managed instance groups and a global load balancer to increase performance because the

regional managed instance group can grow instances in each region separately based on traffic.

B.

Use a global load balancer with a set of virtual machines that forward the requests to a closer group of

virtual machines managed by your operations team.

C.

Use regional managed instance groups and a global load balancer to increase reliability by providing

automatic failover between zones in different regions.

D.

Use a global load balancer with a set of virtual machines that forward the requests to a closer group of

virtual machines as part of a separate managed instance groups.

For this question, refer to the Dress4Win case study.

As part of Dress4Win ' s plans to migrate to the cloud, they want to be able to set up a managed logging and monitoring system so they can handle spikes in their traffic load. They want to ensure that:

• The infrastructure can be notified when it needs to scale up and down to handle the ebb and flow of usage throughout the day

• Their administrators are notified automatically when their application reports errors.

• They can filter their aggregated logs down in order to debug one piece of the application across many hosts

Which Google StackDriver features should they use?

A.

Logging, Alerts, Insights, Debug

B.

Monitoring, Trace, Debug, Logging

C.

Monitoring, Logging, Alerts, Error Reporting

D.

Monitoring, Logging, Debug, Error Report

For this question, refer to the Dress4Win case study.

Dress4Win has asked you to recommend machine types they should deploy their application servers to. How should you proceed?

A.

Perform a mapping of the on-premises physical hardware cores and RAM to the nearest machine types in the cloud.

B.

Recommend that Dress4Win deploy application servers to machine types that offer the highest RAM to CPU ratio available.

C.

Recommend that Dress4Win deploy into production with the smallest instances available, monitor them over time, and scale the machine type up until the desired performance is reached.

D.

Identify the number of virtual cores and RAM associated with the application server virtual machines align them to a custom machine type in the cloud, monitor performance, and scale the machine types up until the desired performance is reached.

For this question, refer to the TerramEarth case study. TerramEarth has decided to store data files in Cloud Storage. You need to configure Cloud Storage lifecycle rule to store 1 year of data and minimize file storage cost.

Which two actions should you take?

A.

Create a Cloud Storage lifecycle rule with Age: “30”, Storage Class: “Standard”, and Action: “Set to Coldline”, and create a second GCS life-cycle rule with Age: “365”, Storage Class: “Coldline”, and Action: “Delete”.

B.

Create a Cloud Storage lifecycle rule with Age: “30”, Storage Class: “Coldline”, and Action: “Set to Nearline”, and create a second GCS life-cycle rule with Age: “91”, Storage Class: “Coldline”, and Action: “Set to Nearline”.

C.

Create a Cloud Storage lifecycle rule with Age: “90”, Storage Class: “Standard”, and Action: “Set to Nearline”, and create a second GCS life-cycle rule with Age: “91”, Storage Class: “Nearline”, and Action: “Set to Coldline”.

D.

Create a Cloud Storage lifecycle rule with Age: “30”, Storage Class: “Standard”, and Action: “Set to Coldline”, and create a second GCS life-cycle rule with Age: “365”, Storage Class: “Nearline”, and Action: “Delete”.

TerramEarth has about 1 petabyte (PB) of vehicle testing data in a private data center. You want to move the data to Cloud Storage for your machine learning team. Currently, a 1-Gbps interconnect link is available for you. The machine learning team wants to start using the data in a month. What should you do?

A.

Request Transfer Appliances from Google Cloud, export the data to appliances, and return the appliances to Google Cloud.

B.

Configure the Storage Transfer service from Google Cloud to send the data from your data center to Cloud Storage

C.

Make sure there are no other users consuming the 1 Gbps link, and use multi-thread transfer to upload the data to Cloud Storage.

D.

Export files to an encrypted USB device, send the device to Google Cloud, and request an import of the data to Cloud Storage

TerramEarth has a legacy web application that you cannot migrate to cloud. However, you still want to build a cloud-native way to monitor the application. If the application goes down, you want the URL to point to a " Site is unavailable " page as soon as possible. You also want your Ops team to receive a notification for the issue. You need to build a reliable solution for minimum cost

What should you do?

A.

Create a scheduled job in Cloud Run to invoke a container every minute. The container will check the application URL If the application is down, switch the URL to the " Site is unavailable " page, and notify the Ops team.

B.

Create a cron job on a Compute Engine VM that runs every minute. The cron job invokes a Python program to check the application URL If the application is down, switch the URL to the " Site is unavailable " page, and notify the Ops team.

C.

Create a Cloud Monitoring uptime check to validate the application URL If it fails, put a message in a Pub/Sub queue that triggers a Cloud Function to switch the URL to the " Site is unavailable " page, and notify the Ops team.

D.

Use Cloud Error Reporting to check the application URL If the application is down, switch the URL to the " Site is unavailable " page, and notify the Ops team.
