You are developing an application using different microservices that should remain internal to the cluster. You want to be able to configure each microservice with a specific number of replicas. You also want to be able to address a specific microservice from any other microservice in a uniform way, regardless of the number of replicas the microservice scales to. You need to implement this solution on Google Kubernetes Engine. What should you do?

A. Deploy each microservice as a Deployment. Expose the Deployment in the cluster using a Service, and use the Service DNS name to address it from other microservices within the cluster.

B. Deploy each microservice as a Deployment. Expose the Deployment in the cluster using an Ingress, and use the Ingress IP address to address the Deployment from other microservices within the cluster.

C. Deploy each microservice as a Pod. Expose the Pod in the cluster using a Service, and use the Service DNS name to address the microservice from other microservices within the cluster.

D. Deploy each microservice as a Pod. Expose the Pod in the cluster using an Ingress, and use the Ingress IP address name to address the Pod from other microservices within the cluster.

Your company has a stateless web API that performs scientific calculations. The web API runs on a single Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster. The cluster is currently deployed in us-central1. Your company has expanded to offer your API to customers in Asia. You want to reduce the latency for users in Asia. What should you do?

A. Create a second GKE cluster in asia-southeast1, and expose both APIs using a Service of type LoadBalancer. Add the public IPs to the Cloud DNS zone.

B. Use a global HTTP(s) load balancer with Cloud CDN enabled.

C. Create a second GKE cluster in asia-southeast1, and use kubemci to create a global HTTP(s) load balancer.

D. Increase the memory and CPU allocated to the application in the cluster.

Your operations team currently stores 10 TB of data in an object storage service from a third-party provider. They want to move this data to a Cloud Storage bucket as quickly as possible, following Google-recommended practices. They want to minimize the cost of this data migration. Which approach should they use?

A. Use the gsutil mv command to move the data.

B. Use the Storage Transfer Service to move the data.

C. Download the data to a Transfer Appliance, and ship it to Google.

D. Download the data to the on-premises data center, and upload it to the Cloud Storage bucket.

Dress4Win would like to become familiar with deploying applications to the cloud by successfully deploying some applications quickly, as is. They have asked for your recommendation. What should you advise?

A. Identify self-contained applications with external dependencies as a first move to the cloud.

B. Identify enterprise applications with internal dependencies and recommend these as a first move to the cloud.

C. Suggest moving their in-house databases to the cloud and continue serving requests to on-premise applications.

D. Recommend moving their message queuing servers to the cloud and continue handling requests to on-premise applications.

Mountkirk Games wants you to secure the connectivity from the new gaming application platform to Google Cloud. You want to streamline the process and follow Google-recommended practices. What should you do?

A. Configure Workload Identity and service accounts to be used by the application platform.

B. Use Kubernetes Secrets, which are obfuscated by default. Configure these Secrets to be used by the application platform.

C. Configure Kubernetes Secrets to store the secret, enable Application-Layer Secrets Encryption, and use Cloud Key Management Service (Cloud KMS) to manage the encryption keys. Configure these Secrets to be used by the application platform.

D. Configure HashiCorp Vault on Compute Engine, and use customer managed encryption keys and Cloud Key Management Service (Cloud KMS) to manage the encryption keys. Configure these Secrets to be used by the application platform.
