Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Test 3

Question 20

A Google Cloud engineer sees the following issue: An online image processor needs a GPU accelerator only on supported compute types. Which change most directly resolves it?

  1. Select a GPU-compatible Compute Engine or managed product and region matching workload requirements.
  2. Select a supported compatible image architecture and machine family.
  3. Choose a supported Compute Engine custom machine type in an eligible machine family.
  4. Check machine family SKU availability and regional quotas before creating instance templates.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Select a GPU-compatible Compute Engine or managed product and region matching workload requirements. GPU capacity depends on compatible resource type and location. This is the most direct intervention for the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Select a supported compatible image architecture and machine family. This is an appropriate response to a different situation: A new VM cannot boot because its attached image architecture does not match the chosen machine. It does not directly correct the condition described here; the more targeted change is select a gpu-compatible compute engine or managed product and region matching workload requirements.

C:

Choose a supported Compute Engine custom machine type in an eligible machine family. That change targets the separate case a compute workload needs an uncommon combination of vcpu and memory sizes. The current case instead calls for select a gpu-compatible compute engine or managed product and region matching workload requirements.

D:

Check machine family SKU availability and regional quotas before creating instance templates. This belongs to another task scenario: A project plans autoscaling with a machine family unavailable in its planned region. It does not meet the immediate requirement of the current stem, which requires select a gpu-compatible compute engine or managed product and region matching workload requirements.

Question 21

A security and reliability review identifies A team plans cross-region PostgreSQL recovery after a regional disaster. What is the primary exposure?

  1. Using a document database can complicate required relational joins.
  2. Zonal HA alone cannot guarantee regional disaster recovery.
  3. A standalone single-zone database instance lacks regional HA redundancy.
  4. Messages in a queue alone are not a queryable analytics history.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Zonal HA alone cannot guarantee regional disaster recovery. Disaster recovery and high availability address different failure scopes. This is the primary consequence of leaving the stated issue unresolved.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Using a document database can complicate required relational joins. This risk is more closely associated with a web application requires a fully managed relational postgresql database with familiar sql semantics. The direct exposure in this scenario is zonal ha alone cannot guarantee regional disaster recovery.

C:

A standalone single-zone database instance lacks regional HA redundancy. That exposure could arise for a database needs automated failover within a region for common zonal incidents; it is not the closest risk here. The specified issue primarily leads to zonal ha alone cannot guarantee regional disaster recovery.

D:

Messages in a queue alone are not a queryable analytics history. This risk is more closely associated with a team has a stream of transactions and wants sql aggregations over historical records. The direct exposure in this scenario is zonal ha alone cannot guarantee regional disaster recovery.

Question 22

A cloud operations team has this requirement: A security team must prevent certain high-risk permissions even if inherited allow roles exist. Choose the most targeted solution.

  1. Use IAM policy analysis with the resource and relevant permissions.
  2. Create a custom IAM role from supported permissions after review.
  3. Use eligible conditional IAM bindings with an expiration condition.
  4. Configure supported IAM deny policies at the appropriate hierarchy scope.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Configure supported IAM deny policies at the appropriate hierarchy scope. IAM deny policies can block permissions independently of allows. This is the most direct intervention for the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Use IAM policy analysis with the resource and relevant permissions. That change targets the separate case a security engineer needs a tool to inspect who can read a critical secret across inherited iam policies. The current case instead calls for configure supported iam deny policies at the appropriate hierarchy scope.

B:

Create a custom IAM role from supported permissions after review. This belongs to another task scenario: An engineering team has a permission need not met exactly by standard roles. It does not meet the immediate requirement of the current stem, which requires configure supported iam deny policies at the appropriate hierarchy scope.

C:

Use eligible conditional IAM bindings with an expiration condition. This is an appropriate response to a different situation: A team wants time-limited external contractor access without constant manual cleanup. It does not directly correct the condition described here; the more targeted change is configure supported iam deny policies at the appropriate hierarchy scope.

Question 23

For An external TCP service needs a load balancing design that preserves the supported protocol, a team applies Choose an external Network Load Balancer compatible with the workload and backend constraints. Which check most directly confirms the requirement?

  1. A single advertised frontend delivers healthy traffic to both regions.
  2. Clients reach the service over the required L4 protocol.
  3. Internal clients connect to a private frontend and traffic reaches healthy backends.
  4. An unhealthy backend stops receiving normal new traffic under test.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Clients reach the service over the required L4 protocol. Network load balancers serve supported Layer 4 flows. This is the most relevant evidence for the exact correction.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A single advertised frontend delivers healthy traffic to both regions. This is relevant in another situation: A global HTTPS web service needs one internet-facing endpoint and automatic backend distribution. It does not establish the outcome of the specified fix, which should be clients reach the service over the required l4 protocol.

C:

Internal clients connect to a private frontend and traffic reaches healthy backends. That observation corresponds to a private microservice tier needs layer 4 balancing within a vpc, rather than the specific remediation being tested. The required evidence is clients reach the service over the required l4 protocol.

D:

An unhealthy backend stops receiving normal new traffic under test. This is relevant in another situation: A platform wants load balancer backends removed when they stop serving requests. It does not establish the outcome of the specified fix, which should be clients reach the service over the required l4 protocol.

Question 24

Suppose no action is taken for A company has many service accounts with unused high-privilege grants. Which adverse outcome best matches?

  1. Default broad service accounts can expose unrelated resources.
  2. Excessive IAM administrative access expands credential compromise impact.
  3. Inherited or legacy default permissions may exceed application requirements.
  4. Dormant high privilege grants increase the impact of workload compromise.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Dormant high privilege grants increase the impact of workload compromise. IAM inventory and least-privilege review apply to machine principals. This is the primary consequence of leaving the stated issue unresolved.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Default broad service accounts can expose unrelated resources. This risk is more closely associated with a cloud run service must call a private api without granting permissions to all developers. The direct exposure in this scenario is dormant high privilege grants increase the impact of workload compromise.

B:

Excessive IAM administrative access expands credential compromise impact. This is the failure mode of a different case: A workload uses a service account that must never be able to administer IAM policies. For the current condition, the more direct consequence is dormant high privilege grants increase the impact of workload compromise.

C:

Inherited or legacy default permissions may exceed application requirements. That exposure could arise for a team wants to avoid default compute engine service account permissions in new projects; it is not the closest risk here. The specified issue primarily leads to dormant high privilege grants increase the impact of workload compromise.

Question 25

The remediation for A company needs alerts based on forecast cost before the monthly threshold is reached is Enable forecasted spend alerts using supported budget threshold configuration. Which observation best shows it worked?

  1. Finance receives threshold notifications during a controlled budget scenario.
  2. Expected usage rows appear in the export dataset for linked projects.
  3. Notifications arrive when predicted spend breaches the defined forecast threshold.
  4. Expected usage appears after the documented export processing interval.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Notifications arrive when predicted spend breaches the defined forecast threshold. Cloud Billing budgets support forecast based notifications. This is the most relevant evidence for the exact correction.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Finance receives threshold notifications during a controlled budget scenario. That observation corresponds to a finance team wants an email when a project's monthly cloud spend approaches a limit, rather than the specific remediation being tested. The required evidence is notifications arrive when predicted spend breaches the defined forecast threshold.

B:

Expected usage rows appear in the export dataset for linked projects. This is relevant in another situation: An organization needs project level cost analytics using its own SQL queries. It does not establish the outcome of the specified fix, which should be notifications arrive when predicted spend breaches the defined forecast threshold.

D:

Expected usage appears after the documented export processing interval. That observation corresponds to an organization expects all services to appear immediately in newly configured detailed billing export, rather than the specific remediation being tested. The required evidence is notifications arrive when predicted spend breaches the defined forecast threshold.

Question 26

The cloud project continues with this issue: An application requires robust multi-region consistency for financial writes. Which risk is most relevant?

  1. Single-region object placement can conflict with a multi-region availability requirement.
  2. Single instance relational databases can face scale and region limits.
  3. Zonal HA alone cannot guarantee regional disaster recovery.
  4. Replicating independent relational instances without a consistency protocol risks divergent writes.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Replicating independent relational instances without a consistency protocol risks divergent writes. Spanner transactions coordinate consistency across supported replicas. This is the primary consequence of leaving the stated issue unresolved.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Single-region object placement can conflict with a multi-region availability requirement. That exposure could arise for a region outage must not render critical object files unavailable; it is not the closest risk here. The specified issue primarily leads to replicating independent relational instances without a consistency protocol risks divergent writes.

B:

Single instance relational databases can face scale and region limits. This risk is more closely associated with a global transactional application needs horizontal relational scale and strongly consistent sql. The direct exposure in this scenario is replicating independent relational instances without a consistency protocol risks divergent writes.

C:

Zonal HA alone cannot guarantee regional disaster recovery. This is the failure mode of a different case: A team plans cross-region PostgreSQL recovery after a regional disaster. For the current condition, the more direct consequence is replicating independent relational instances without a consistency protocol risks divergent writes.

Question 27

A cloud operations team has this requirement: A private microservice tier needs Layer 4 balancing within a VPC. Choose the most targeted solution.

  1. Choose an external Network Load Balancer compatible with the workload and backend constraints.
  2. Deploy an appropriate global external Application Load Balancer with regional backends.
  3. Configure a supported HTTPS load balancer and certificate lifecycle.
  4. Configure the appropriate internal passthrough Network Load Balancer.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Configure the appropriate internal passthrough Network Load Balancer. Internal network load balancing serves private TCP/UDP workloads. This is the most direct intervention for the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Choose an external Network Load Balancer compatible with the workload and backend constraints. This is an appropriate response to a different situation: An external TCP service needs a load balancing design that preserves the supported protocol. It does not directly correct the condition described here; the more targeted change is configure the appropriate internal passthrough network load balancer.

B:

Deploy an appropriate global external Application Load Balancer with regional backends. That change targets the separate case a global https web service needs one internet-facing endpoint and automatic backend distribution. The current case instead calls for configure the appropriate internal passthrough network load balancer.

C:

Configure a supported HTTPS load balancer and certificate lifecycle. This belongs to another task scenario: An internet-exposed service must distribute encrypted traffic using a managed certificate. It does not meet the immediate requirement of the current stem, which requires configure the appropriate internal passthrough network load balancer.

Question 28

A cloud operations team has this requirement: An application requires repeatable installation of Kubernetes charts to GKE. Choose the most targeted solution.

  1. Use Helm releases with versioned charts and declared values.
  2. Move to a supported shared backend with access control and locking capabilities.
  3. Evaluate Config Connector with authorized declarative Google Cloud resources.
  4. Manage resources through version controlled Terraform configurations and reviews.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Use Helm releases with versioned charts and declared values. Helm packages Kubernetes application resource templates. This is the most direct intervention for the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Move to a supported shared backend with access control and locking capabilities. This belongs to another task scenario: Two Terraform operators use one unprotected local state file for production changes. It does not meet the immediate requirement of the current stem, which requires use helm releases with versioned charts and declared values.

C:

Evaluate Config Connector with authorized declarative Google Cloud resources. This is an appropriate response to a different situation: A company wants to provision cloud resources through a Kubernetes-style control plane. It does not directly correct the condition described here; the more targeted change is use helm releases with versioned charts and declared values.

D:

Manage resources through version controlled Terraform configurations and reviews. That change targets the separate case a platform team manually creates every cloud vpc and loses track of network changes. The current case instead calls for use helm releases with versioned charts and declared values.

Question 29

The change record proposes Configure snapshot schedules or resource policies on the appropriate disks to resolve A company wants automatically recurring recovery points for VM boot and data disks. Which acceptance evidence is most relevant?

  1. The snapshot is listed and a controlled restore yields expected files.
  2. Snapshots appear on the configured schedule and meet retention rules.
  3. The revised Pod schedules with valid resource requests.
  4. New Pods become ready and old replicas retire without exceeding outage budget.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Snapshots appear on the configured schedule and meet retention rules. Snapshot scheduling automates disk recovery point creation. This is the most relevant evidence for the exact correction.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The snapshot is listed and a controlled restore yields expected files. This is relevant in another situation: A VM was misconfigured and an operator needs a disk recovery point before changes. It does not establish the outcome of the specified fix, which should be snapshots appear on the configured schedule and meet retention rules.

C:

The revised Pod schedules with valid resource requests. That observation corresponds to a gke autopilot pod cannot schedule due to unsupported request parameters, rather than the specific remediation being tested. The required evidence is snapshots appear on the configured schedule and meet retention rules.

D:

New Pods become ready and old replicas retire without exceeding outage budget. This is relevant in another situation: An administrator wants to update a GKE deployment's container image with safe recovery options. It does not establish the outcome of the specified fix, which should be snapshots appear on the configured schedule and meet retention rules.

Question 30

For A private microservice tier needs Layer 4 balancing within a VPC, a team applies Configure the appropriate internal passthrough Network Load Balancer. Which check most directly confirms the requirement?

  1. Clients reach the service over the required L4 protocol.
  2. The selected frontend delivers expected regional connectivity at modeled cost.
  3. Authorized clients resolve private records only within permitted VPC contexts.
  4. Internal clients connect to a private frontend and traffic reaches healthy backends.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Internal clients connect to a private frontend and traffic reaches healthy backends. Internal network load balancing serves private TCP/UDP workloads. This is the most relevant evidence for the exact correction.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Clients reach the service over the required L4 protocol. This would test the separate scenario: An external TCP service needs a load balancing design that preserves the supported protocol. It is not decisive evidence for this change. Verify internal clients connect to a private frontend and traffic reaches healthy backends instead.

B:

The selected frontend delivers expected regional connectivity at modeled cost. That observation corresponds to a cost-sensitive regional web service does not need global anycast performance features, rather than the specific remediation being tested. The required evidence is internal clients connect to a private frontend and traffic reaches healthy backends.

C:

Authorized clients resolve private records only within permitted VPC contexts. This is relevant in another situation: A company needs consistent internal hostnames for services distributed across subnets. It does not establish the outcome of the specified fix, which should be internal clients connect to a private frontend and traffic reaches healthy backends.
