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?
For this question, refer to the TerramEarth case study. Considering the technical requirements, how should you reduce the unplanned vehicle downtime in GCP?
For this question, refer to the Helicopter Racing League (HRL) case study. HRL wants better prediction
accuracy from their ML prediction models. They want you to use Google’s AI Platform so HRL can understand
and interpret the predictions. What should you do?
For this question, refer to the Helicopter Racing League (HRL) case study. Recently HRL started a new regional
racing league in Cape Town, South Africa. In an effort to give customers in Cape Town a better user
experience, HRL has partnered with the Content Delivery Network provider, Fastly. HRL needs to allow traffic
coming from all of the Fastly IP address ranges into their Virtual Private Cloud network (VPC network). You are
a member of the HRL security team and you need to configure the update that will allow only the Fastly IP
address ranges through the External HTTP(S) load balancer. Which command should you use?
For this question, refer to the Helicopter Racing League (HRL) case study. Your team is in charge of creating a
payment card data vault for card numbers used to bill tens of thousands of viewers, merchandise consumers,
and season ticket holders. You need to implement a custom card tokenization service that meets the following
requirements:
• It must provide low latency at minimal cost.
• It must be able to identify duplicate credit cards and must not store plaintext card numbers.
• It should support annual key rotation.
Which storage approach should you adopt for your tokenization service?
For this question, refer to the Helicopter Racing League (HRL) case study. A recent finance audit of cloud
infrastructure noted an exceptionally high number of Compute Engine instances are allocated to do video
encoding and transcoding. You suspect that these Virtual Machines are zombie machines that were not deleted
after their workloads completed. You need to quickly get a list of which VM instances are idle. What should you
do?
For this question, refer to the Helicopter Racing League (HRL) case study. HRL is looking for a cost-effective
approach for storing their race data such as telemetry. They want to keep all historical records, train models
using only the previous season's data, and plan for data growth in terms of volume and information collected.
You need to propose a data solution. Considering HRL business requirements and the goals expressed by
CEO S. Hawke, what should you do?
For this question, refer to the Helicopter Racing League (HRL) case study. The HRL development team
releases a new version of their predictive capability application every Tuesday evening at 3 a.m. UTC to a
repository. The security team at HRL has developed an in-house penetration test Cloud Function called Airwolf.
The security team wants to run Airwolf against the predictive capability application as soon as it is released
every Tuesday. You need to set up Airwolf to run at the recurring weekly cadence. What should you do?
A global media company is launching a new web application. The application backend is hosted on Compute Engine in us-central1 and serves both static assets (images, CSS, and JavaScript) and dynamic, user-specific content from a Cloud SQL database in the same region. Early user feedback from Europe and Asia indicates significant page load delays due to slow loading static content. You need to design a solution that minimizes latency for all global users accessing the static content. What should you do? Choose 2 answers.
Your operations team currently stores 10 TB of data m an object storage service from a third-party provider. They want to move this data to a Cloud Storage bucket as quickly as possible, following Google-recommended practices. They want to minimize the cost of this data migration. When approach should they use?
