NEW QUESTION # 116
You create a Deployment with 2 replicas in a Google Kubernetes Engine cluster that has a single preemptible node pool. After a few minutes, you use kubectlto examine the status of your Pod and observe that one of them is still in Pendingstatus:

What is the most likely cause?

  • A. Too many Pods are already running in the cluster, and there are not enough resources left to schedule the pending Pod.
  • B. The pending Pod's resource requests are too large to fit on a single node of the cluster.
  • C. The pending Pod was originally scheduled on a node that has been preempted between the creation of the Deployment and your verification of the Pods' status. It is currently being rescheduled on a new node.
  • D. The node pool is configured with a service account that does not have permission to pull the container image used by the pending Pod.

Answer: C

Explanation:
As the node on which pod was scheduled to run was preempted & now this pod is scheduled to run on different preemtible node from the node-pool.

NEW QUESTION # 119
You are planning to migrate the following on-premises data management solutions to Google Cloud:
* One MySQL cluster for your main database
* Apache Kafka for your event streaming platform
* One Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL database for your analytical and reporting needs You want to implement Google-recommended solutions for the migration. You need to ensure that the new solutions provide global scalability and require minimal operational and infrastructure management. What should you do?

  • A. Migrate from MySQL to Cloud Spanner, from Kafka to Pub/Sub, and from Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL to BigQuery.
  • B. Migrate from MySQL to Cloud SQL, from Kafka to Pub/Sub, and from Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL to BigQuery.
  • C. Migrate from MySQL to Cloud SQL, from Kafka to Memorystore, and from Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL to Cloud SQL.
  • D. Migrate from MySQL to Cloud Spanner, from Kafka to Memorystore, and from Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL to Cloud SQL.

Answer: A

Explanation:
Cloud Spanner, Pub/Sub, and BigQuery are Google-recommended solutions for migrating your on-premises data management solutions to Google Cloud. They provide global scalability and require minimal operational and infrastructure management. Here is why:
Cloud Spanner is a fully managed, relational database service that offers strong consistency, high availability, and horizontal scalability across regions and continents. It is compatible with MySQL and can handle high-throughput OLTP workloads. It is a good choice for migrating your main database from MySQL to Google Cloud, as it can support your application's performance, availability, and growth requirements.
Pub/Sub is a fully managed, real-time messaging service that allows you to send and receive messages between independent applications. It is compatible with Apache Kafka and can handle high-volume event streaming and data ingestion. It is a good choice for migrating your event streaming platform from Kafka to Google Cloud, as it can support your application's reliability, scalability, and flexibility requirements.
BigQuery is a fully managed, serverless data warehouse that offers fast SQL queries, high scalability, and low cost. It is compatible with Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL and can handle complex analytical and reporting needs. It is a good choice for migrating your analytical and reporting database from Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL to Google Cloud, as it can support your application's speed, efficiency, and innovation requirements.
The other options are not correct because they either do not provide the required scalability, performance, or functionality. Option A is not correct because Cloud SQL is a regional, managed database service that does not offer the same level of scalability, availability, and consistency as Cloud Spanner. Option C is not correct because Memorystore is a regional, managed in-memory data store that does not offer the same level of functionality, durability, and integration as Pub/Sub. Option D is not correct because Cloud SQL is a regional, managed database service that does not offer the same level of scalability, performance, and cost-effectiveness as BigQuery.

NEW QUESTION # 129
You have downloaded and installed the gcloud command line interface (CLI) and have authenticated with your Google Account. Most of your Compute Engine instances in your project run in the europe-west1-d zone. You want to avoid having to specify this zone with each CLI command when managing these instances. What should you do?

  • A. In the Settings page for Compute Engine under Default location, set the zone to europe-west1-d.
  • B. Create a Metadata entry on the Compute Engine page with key compute/zone and value europe-west1-d.
  • C. Set the europe-west1-d zone as the default zone using the gcloud config subcommand.
  • D. In the CLI installation directory, create a file called default.conf containing zone=europe-west1-d.

Answer: C

Explanation:
Change your default zone and region in the metadata server Note: This only applies to the default configuration. You can change the default zone and region in your metadata server by making a request to the metadata server. For example: gcloud compute project-info add-metadata \ --metadata google-compute-default-region=europe-west1,google-compute-default-zone=europe-west1-b The gcloud command-line tool only picks up on new default zone and region changes after you rerun the gcloud init command. After updating your default metadata, run gcloud init to reinitialize your default configuration. https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/gcloud-compute#change_your_default_zone_and_region_in_the_metadata_server
