Question 6 of 289
Your organization runs a distributed application in the Compute Engine virtual machines. Your organization needs redundancy, but it also needs extremely fast communication (less than 10 milliseconds) between the parts of the application in different virtual machines.
Where should your organization locate this virtual machines?
    Correct Answer: B

    To achieve extremely fast communication (less than 10 milliseconds) between different virtual machines, the best option is to use different zones within a single region. This setup ensures high availability and redundancy while maintaining low network latency compared to spreading the instances across multiple regions or a single zone.

Question 7 of 289
An organization decides to migrate their on-premises environment to the cloud. They need to determine which resource components still need to be assigned ownership.
Which two functions does a public cloud provider own? (Choose two.)
    Correct Answer: A, D

    In a public cloud environment, the cloud provider is responsible for maintaining the physical hardware and ensuring that it has sufficient capacity to meet user demands. Hardware maintenance involves actions like repair, replacement, and upgrades of physical servers, storage devices, and networking hardware. Hardware capacity management includes monitoring and managing the hardware resources to ensure there is always adequate capacity to meet the needs of all customers using the cloud services. The cloud provider's responsibility fundamentally covers these aspects to ensure the robustness and reliability of their infrastructure.

Question 8 of 289
You are a program manager within a Software as a Service (SaaS) company that offers rendering software for animation studios. Your team needs the ability to allow scenes to be scheduled at will and to be interrupted at any time to restart later. Any individual scene rendering takes less than 12 hours to complete, and there is no service-level agreement (SLA) for the completion time for all scenes. Results will be stored in a global Cloud Storage bucket. The compute resources are not bound to any single geographical location. This software needs to run on Google Cloud in a cost-optimized way.
What should you do?
    Correct Answer: A

    Deploying the application on Compute Engine using preemptible instances is the most cost-effective solution for this scenario. Preemptible instances are much cheaper than regular instances and can be interrupted at any time, which aligns with the requirement that scenes can be scheduled at will and interrupted as needed. Given that individual scene rendering takes less than 12 hours, these instances provide the needed compute resources without a stringent service-level agreement (SLA) for completion time, making them ideal for your use case.

Question 9 of 289
Your manager wants to restrict communication of all virtual machines with internet access; with resources in another network; or with a resource outside Compute
Engine. It is expected that different teams will create new folders and projects in the near future.
How would you restrict all virtual machines from having an external IP address?
    Correct Answer: A

    To restrict all virtual machines from having an external IP address effectively and consistently across an entire organization, it is best to define an organization policy at the root organization node. This approach ensures that the policy is inherited by all existing and future projects and folders created within the organization. This method centralizes control and maintains compliance, preventing any virtual machines from being configured with external IP addresses regardless of which team or project creates them.

Question 10 of 289
Your multinational organization has servers running mission-critical workloads on its premises around the world. You want to be able to manage these workloads consistently and centrally, and you want to stop managing infrastructure.
What should your organization do?
    Correct Answer: A

    Migrating the workloads to a public cloud will allow the organization to manage its mission-critical workloads consistently and centrally while eliminating the need to manage the underlying infrastructure. Public cloud providers offer global reach, centralized management tools, and the ability to scale resources as needed, which aligns with the requirements of the organization.
