For this question, refer to the TerramEarth case study. You are asked to design a new architecture for the ingestion of the data of the 200,000 vehicles that are connected to a cellular network. You want to follow Google-recommended practices. Considering the technical requirements, which components should you use for the ingestion of the data?
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference: Dress4Win, A Testlet 1 Company Overview Dress4win is a web-based company that helps their users organize and manage their personal wardrobe using a website and mobile application. The company also cultivates an active social network that connects their users with designers and retailers. They monetize their services through advertising, e-commerce, referrals, and a premium app model. Company Background Dress4win's application has grown from a few servers in the founder's garage to several hundred servers and appliances in a collocated data center. However, the capacity of their infrastructure is now insufficient for the application's rapid growth. Because of this growth and the company's desire to innovate faster, Dress4win is committing to a full migration to a public cloud. Solution Concept For the first phase of their migration to the cloud, Dress4win is considering moving their development and test environments. They are also considering building a disaster recovery site, because their current infrastructure is at a single location. They are not sure which components of their architecture they can migrate as is and which components they need to change before migrating them. Existing Technical Environment The Dress4win application is served out of a single data center location. * Databases: - MySQL - user data, inventory, static data - Redis - metadata, social graph, caching * Application servers: - Tomcat - Java micro-services - Nginx - static content - Apache Beam - Batch processing * Storage appliances: - iSCSI for VM hosts - Fiber channel SAN - MySQL databases - NAS - image storage, logs, backups * Apache Hadoop/Spark servers: - Data analysis - Real-time trending calculations * MQ servers: - Messaging - Social notifications - Events * Miscellaneous servers: - Jenkins, monitoring, bastion hosts, security scanners Business Requirements * Build a reliable and reproducible environment with scaled parity of production. * Improve security by defining and adhering to a set of security and Identity and Access Management (IAM) best practices for cloud. * Improve business agility and speed of innovation through rapid provisioning of new resources. * Analyze and optimize architecture for performance in the cloud. * Migrate fully to the cloud if all other requirements are met. Technical Requirements * Evaluate and choose an automation framework for provisioning resources in cloud. * Support failover of the production environment to cloud during an emergency. * Identify production services that can migrate to cloud to save capacity. * Use managed services whenever possible. * Encrypt data on the wire and at rest. * Support multiple VPN connections between the production data center and cloud environment. CEO Statement Our investors are concerned about our ability to scale and contain costs with our current infrastructure. They are also concerned that a new competitor could use a public cloud platform to offset their up-front investment and freeing them to focus on developing better features. CTO Statement We have invested heavily in the current infrastructure, but much of the equipment is approaching the end of its useful life. We are consistently waiting weeks for new gear to be racked before we can start new projects. Our traffic patterns are highest in the mornings and weekend evenings; during other times, 80% of our capacity is sitting idle. CFO Statement Our capital expenditure is now exceeding our quarterly projections. Migrating to the cloud will likely cause an initial increase in spending, but we expect to fully transition before our next hardware refresh cycle. Our total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis over the next 5 years puts a cloud strategy between 30 to 50% lower than our current model.
Question 242
Your company is developing a web-based application. You need to make sure that production deployments are linked to source code commits and are fully auditable. What should you do?
Correct Answer: C
https://cloud.google.com/architecture/best-practices-for-building- containers#tagging_using_the_git_commit_hash You can use this commit hash as a version number for your software, but also as a tag for the Docker image built from this specific version of your software. Doing so makes Docker images traceable: because in this case the image tag is immutable, you instantly know which specific version of your software is running inside a given container.
Question 243
Your company has just acquired another company, and you have been asked to integrate their existing Google Cloud environment into your company's data center. Upon investigation, you discover that some of the RFC 1918 IP ranges being used in the new company's Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) overlap with your data center IP space. What should you do to enable connectivity and make sure that there are no routing conflicts when connectivity is established?
Correct Answer: A
Question 244
Your company has an application running on Google Cloud that is collecting data from thousands of physical devices that are globally distributed. Data is publish to Pub/Sub and streamed in real time into an SSO Cloud Bigtable cluster via a Dataflow pipeline. The operations team informs you that your Cloud Bigtable cluster has a hot-spot and queries are taking longer man expected You need to resolve the problem and prevent it from happening in the future What should you do?
Correct Answer: A
Question 245
Your company has a networking team and a development team. The development team runs applications on Compute Engine instances that contain sensitive dat a. The development team requires administrative permissions for Compute Engine. Your company requires all network resources to be managed by the networking team. The development team does not want the networking team to have access to the sensitive data on the instances. What should you do?
Correct Answer: C
In this scenario, a large organization has a central team that manages security and networking controls for the entire organization. Developers do not have permissions to make changes to any network or security settings defined by the security and networking team but they are granted permission to create resources such as virtual machines in shared subnets. To facilitate this the organization makes use of a shared VPC (Virtual Private Cloud). A shared VPC allows creation of a VPC network of RFC 1918 IP spaces that associated projects (service projects) can then use. Developers using the associated projects can create VM instances in the shared VPC network spaces. The organization's network and security admins can create subnets, VPNs, and firewall rules usable by all the projects in the VPC network. https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/job-functions/networking#single_team_manages_security_network_for_organization
