,BigQuery is Google's serverless, highly scalable, low cost enterprise data warehouse designed to
make all your data analysts productive. Because there is no infrastructure to manage, you can
focus on analyzing data to find meaningful insights using familiar SQL and you don't need a
database administrator.BigQuery enables you to analyze all your data by creating a logical data
warehouse over managed, columnar storage as well as data from object storage, and
spreadsheets.Reference:https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/

B. Send them a list of online resources about logging best practices
C. Help them define their requirements and assess viable logging tools
D. Help them upgrade their current tool to take advantage of any new features - ANS C. Help
them define their requirements and assess viable logging tools
You need to reduce the number of unplanned rollbacks of erroneous production deployments in
your company's web hosting platform. Improvement to the QA/Test processes accomplished an
80% reduction.Which additional two approaches can you take to further reduce the rollbacks?
(Choose two.)
A. Introduce a green-blue deployment model
B. Replace the QA environment with canary releases
C. Fragment the monolithic platform into microservices
D. Reduce the platformג€™s dependency on relational database systems
E. Replace the platformג€™s relational database systems with a NoSQL database - ANS A.
Introduce a green-blue deployment model
C. Fragment the monolithic platform into microservices
To reduce costs, the Director of Engineering has required all developers to move their
development infrastructure resources from on-premises virtual machines(VMs) to Google Cloud
Platform. These resources go through multiple start/stop events during the day and require
state to persist. You have been asked to design the process of running a development
environment in Google Cloud while providing cost visibility to the finance department.Which
two steps should you take? (Choose two.)
A. Use the - -no-auto-delete flag on all persistent disks and stop the VM
B. Use the - -auto-delete flag on all persistent disks and terminate the VM
C. Apply VM CPU utilization label and include it in the BigQuery billing export
D. Use Google BigQuery billing export and labels to associate cost to groups
