Q80. You have a mixture of packaged and internally developed applications hosted on a Compute Engine instance that is running Linux. These applications write log records as text in local files. You want the logs to be written to Cloud Logging. What should you do?

Q81. For this question, refer to the HipLocal case study.
A recent security audit discovers that HipLocal’s database credentials for their Compute Engine-hosted MySQL databases are stored in plain text on persistent disks. HipLocal needs to reduce the risk of these credentials being stolen. What should they do?

Q82. You are designing a deployment technique for your new applications on Google Cloud. As part of your deployment planning, you want to use live traffic to gather performance metrics for both new and existing applications. You need to test against the full production load prior to launch. What should you do?

Q83. You are load testing your server application. During the first 30 seconds, you observe that a previously inactive Cloud Storage bucket is now servicing 2000 write requests per second and 7500 read requests per second.
Your application is now receiving intermittent 5xx and 429 HTTP responses from the Cloud Storage JSON API as the demand escalates. You want to decrease the failed responses from the Cloud Storage API.
What should you do?

Q84. You are developing an ecommerce application that stores customer, order, and inventory data as relational tables inside Cloud Spanner. During a recent load test, you discover that Spanner performance is not scaling linearly as expected. Which of the following is the cause?

Q85. Please refer to the following information to answer the questions on the right.
Hannah recently picked up her iMac after a repair. The sound from the speakers was distorted and unclear and a technician determined that a repair would resolve the issue.
Once Hannah returned home with the iMac, the sound issue occurred again.
Hannah has returned. She is angry and she is cursing at the technician.
From the following, which are part of the 5-step conflict resolution model? (Choose two.)

Q86. Your existing application keeps user state information in a single MySQL database. This state information is very user-specific and depends heavily on how long a user has been using an application. The MySQL database is causing challenges to maintain and enhance the schema for various users.
Which storage option should you choose?

Q87. You are deploying your application to a Compute Engine virtual machine instance with the Stackdriver Monitoring Agent installed. Your application is a unix process on the instance. You want to be alerted if the unix process has not run for at least 5 minutes. You are not able to change the application to generate metrics or logs.
Which alert condition should you configure?

Q88. You have an HTTP Cloud Function that is called via POST. Each submission’s request body has a flat, unnested JSON structure containing numeric and text dat a. After the Cloud Function completes, the collected data should be immediately available for ongoing and complex analytics by many users in parallel. How should you persist the submissions?

Q89. You are designing an application that will subscribe to and receive messages from a single Pub/Sub topic and insert corresponding rows into a database. Your application runs on Linux and leverages preemptible virtual machines to reduce costs. You need to create a shutdown script that will initiate a graceful shutdown. What should you do?

Q90. You work for an organization that manages an ecommerce site. Your application is deployed behind a global HTTP(S) load balancer. You need to test a new product recommendation algorithm. You plan to use A/B testing to determine the new algorithm’s effect on sales in a randomized way. How should you test this feature?

Q91. Your service adds text to images that it reads from Cloud Storage. During busy times of the year, requests to Cloud Storage fail with an HTTP 429 “Too Many Requests” status code.
How should you handle this error?

Q92. You are a developer at a large organization. You have an application written in Go running in a production Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster. You need to add a new feature that requires access to BigQuery.
You want to grant BigQuery access to your GKE cluster following Google-recommended best practices. What should you do?

Q93. Your application is controlled by a managed instance group. You want to share a large read-only data set between all the instances in the managed instance group. You want to ensure that each instance can start quickly and can access the data set via its filesystem with very low latency. You also want to minimize the total cost of the solution.
What should you do?

Q94. Your application takes an input from a user and publishes it to the user’s contacts. This input is stored in a table in Cloud Spanner. Your application is more sensitive to latency and less sensitive to consistency.
How should you perform reads from Cloud Spanner for this application?

Q95. Your service adds text to images that it reads from Cloud Storage. During busy times of the year, requests to Cloud Storage fail with an HTTP 429 “Too Many Requests” status code.
How should you handle this error?

Q96. You suspect that the issue Darla describes is a result of how she is using her iPhone. Which of the following is an empathetic and supportive closed question to ask?

Q97. You are developing a JPEG image-resizing API hosted on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Callers of the service will exist within the same GKE cluster. You want clients to be able to get the IP address of the service.
What should you do?
