You work for a large retail and ecommerce company that is starting to extend their business globally.
Your company plans to migrate to Google Cloud. You want to use platforms that will scale easily, handle transactions with the least amount of latency, and provide a reliable customer experience. You need a storage layer for sales transactions and current inventory levels. You want to retain the same relational schema that your existing platform uses.
What should you do?

  1. Store your data in Firestore in a multi-region location, and place your compute resources in one of the constituent regions.
  2. Deploy Cloud Spanner using a multi-region instance, and place your compute resources close to the default leader region.
  3. Build an in-memory cache in Memorystore, and deploy to the specific geographic regions where your application resides.
  4. Deploy a Bigtable instance with a cluster in one region and a replica cluster in another geographic region.

Answer(s): B



You host an application in Google Cloud. The application is located in a single region and uses Cloud SQL for transactional data.
Most of your users are located in the same time zone and expect the application to be available 7 days a week, from 6 AM to 10 PM. You want to ensure regular maintenance updates to your Cloud SQL instance without creating downtime for your users.
What should you do?

  1. Configure a maintenance window during a period when no users will be on the system. Control the order of update by setting non-production instances to earlier and production instances to later.
  2. Create your database with one primary node and one read replica in the region.
  3. Enable maintenance notifications for users, and reschedule maintenance activities to a specific time after notifications have been sent.
  4. Configure your Cloud SQL instance with high availability enabled.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Configure a maintenance window during a period when no users will be on the system. Control the order of update by setting non-production instances to earlier and production instances to later.



Your team recently released a new version of a highly consumed application to accommodate additional user traffic. Shortly after the release, you received an alert from your production monitoring team that there is consistently high replication lag between your primary instance and the read replicas of your Cloud SQL for MySQL instances. You need to resolve the replication lag.
What should you do?

  1. Identify and optimize slow running queries, or set parallel replication flags.
  2. Stop all running queries, and re-create the replicas.
  3. Edit the primary instance to upgrade to a larger disk, and increase vCPU count.
  4. Edit the primary instance to add additional memory.

Answer(s): A

question 35 is incorrect, the correct answer is c, it even states so: explanation: when a vm is infected with ransomware, you should not restore the vm to the infected vm. this is because the ransomware will still be present on the vm, and it will encrypt the files again. you should also not restore the vm to any vm within the companys subscription. this is because the ransomware could spread to other vms in the subscription. the best way to restore a vm that is infected with ransomware is to restore it to a new azure vm. this will ensure that the ransomware is not present on the new vm.
