GOOGLE CLOUD PLATFORM - CLOUD
DIGITAL LEADER EXAM QUESTIONS
WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
Datastore - ANSWER-is a highly scalable *NoSQL* database for your applications. This
automatically handles sharding and replication, providing you with a highly available and
durable database that scales automatically to handle your applications' load.
Cloud Bigtable - ANSWER-is a **row key** table that can scale to billions of rows and
thousands of columns, enabling you to store terabytes or petabytes of data. A single
value in each row is indexed; known as the row key.
App Engine (General) - ANSWER-is a fully managed, *serverless* platform for
**developing and hosting web applications** at scale. Takes care of provisioning
servers and scaling your app instances based on demand.
App Engine *flexible* - ANSWER-this environment *automatically* scales your app up
and down while also balancing the load. Best used when application instances run
within Docker containers on Compute Engine virtual machines (VM), applications that
receive consistent traffic, experience regular *traffic fluctuations*, or meet the
parameters for scaling up and down gradually.
App Engine *standard* - ANSWER-this environment is based on container instances
running on Google's infrastructure. Containers are preconfigured with one of several
available runtimes. This intends to *experience sudden and extreme spikes* of traffic
which require *immediate scaling*, and instance startup time in seconds.
Jenkins - ANSWER-is an open-source automation server that lets you flexibly
*orchestrate your build, test, and deployment* pipelines.
Nearline Storage - ANSWER-is a low-cost, highly durable storage service for storing
*infrequently accessed* data. (*30 day minimum*)
Standard Storage Tier - ANSWER-is best for data that is *frequently accessed* ("hot"
data) and/or stored for only brief periods of time. (less than 30 days)
Coldline Storage - ANSWER-is a very-low-cost, highly durable storage service for
storing infrequently accessed data. (90 day min storage)
Archive Storage - ANSWER-is the lowest-cost, highly durable storage service for data
archiving, online backup, and disaster recovery.(365 day min storage)
, Requester Pays - ANSWER-with this enabled on your bucket, you can require
requesters to include a billing project in their requests, thus billing the requester's
project. Enabling this is useful, for example, if you have a lot of data you want to make
available to users, but you don't want to be charged for their access to that data.
Cloud Armor - ANSWER-helps protect your infrastructure and applications from Layer
3/Layer 4 network or protocol-based volumetric distributed denial-of-service (DDoS)
attacks, volumetric Layer 7 attacks, and other targeted application attacks.
Apigee - ANSWER-is a platform for developing and managing APIs. By fronting
services with a proxy layer, this provides an abstraction for your backend service APIs
and provides security, rate limiting, quotas, analytics, and more.
Dataflow - ANSWER-is a managed service for executing a wide variety of data
processing patterns. The Apache Beam SDK is an open source programming model
that enables you to develop both batch and streaming pipelines with this
Dataproc - ANSWER-is a managed Spark and Hadoop service that lets you take
advantage of open source data tools for batch processing, querying, streaming, and
machine learning.
Data Fusion - ANSWER-is a fully-managed, cloud native, enterprise data integration
service for quickly building and managing data pipelines. It provides a graphical
interface to increase time efficiency and reduce complexity, and allows users to easily
and reliably build scalable data integration solutions to manage data without having to
wrestle with infrastructure.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) - ANSWER-provides access to a powerful sensitive data
inspection, classification, and de-identification platform.
Container Registry - ANSWER-is a service for *storing private container images*. It
provides a subset of features provided by Artifact Registry, a universal repository
manager and the recommended service for managing container images and other
artifacts
Artifact Registry - ANSWER-enables you to *centrally store* _________'s and build
dependencies as part of an integrated Google Cloud experience. This integrates with
Cloud Build and other continuous delivery and continuous integration systems to *store
packages* from your builds.
Container-Optimized OS - ANSWER-is an *operating system image* for your Compute
Engine VMs that is *optimized* for running Docker containers. This is maintained by
Google and based on the open source Chromium OS project. With this, you can bring
up your Docker containers on Google Cloud Platform quickly, efficiently, and securely.
