Question 1
You and your team have been working on a new application over the past couple weeks. While it's still in development, it's becoming a bit costly for your limited budget. The entire team had a meeting on Friday to talk about how to save money until you're able to launch. One of your team members suggested shutting down some services overnight and during the weekend. Though no official decision was made before leaving for the weekend, a junior team member sent out an email saying he found a solution to the problem.
When arriving at the office on Monday, you find that your project is no longer in the drop-down inside the Console. What's the most likely reason for the missing project?
Question 2
You have a batch workload that runs every night and uses a large number of virtual machines (VMs). It is fault- tolerant and can tolerate some of the VMs being terminated. The current cost of VMs is too high. What should you do?
Question 3
Your boss has asked you to onboard a new user and provide them with access to their team's project. What set of steps best describes what needs to happen?
Question 4
You host a static website on Cloud Storage. Recently, you began to include links to PDF files on this site.
Currently, when users click on the links to these PDF files, their browsers prompt them to save the file onto their local system. Instead, you want the clicked PDF files to be displayed within the browser window directly, without prompting the user to save the file locally. What should you do?
Question 5
The core business of your company is to rent out construction equipment at a large scale. All the equipment that is being rented out has been equipped with multiple sensors that send event information every few seconds. These signals can vary from engine status, distance traveled, fuel level, and more. Customers are billed based on the consumption monitored by these sensors. You expect high throughput - up to thousands of events per hour per device - and need to retrieve consistent data based on the time of the event. Storing and retrieving individual signals should be atomic. What should you do?
