GOOGLE CLOUD PLATFORM EXAM
QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
edge network - ANSWER-A network located on the periphery of a centralized network,
as close as possible to the end user to reduce latency and improve bandwidth
Point of Presence - ANSWER-interconnection location between the GCP region and the
end user. Could be third party datacenter or hardware
Compliance boundary - ANSWER-Regulation by government or org about where data
and cloud resources are allowed to reside
Cloud Interconnect - ANSWER-A set of GCP services for physically connecting your
existing networks to the Google network. Two types of connections: Interconnect and
Peering
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) - ANSWER-All of the costs associated with the design,
development, testing, implementation, documentation, training and maintenance of a
software system.
Capital Expenditures (capex) - ANSWER-The up front money used by a company to
improve long-term physical assets such as property, buildings, or equipment. These are
expenditures are an initial dollar amount for the purchase of items and deducting that
amount over time.
Operational Expenditure (OpEx) - ANSWER-This is spending money on services or
products now and being billed for them now. You can deduct this expense from your tax
bill in the same year. There is no upfront cost, you pay for a service or product as you
use it.
Latency - ANSWER-Time delay between two systems
Kondratiev Waves - ANSWER-Hypothesized technology lifecycles that irreversibly
change society on a global scale
Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) - ANSWER-Specifically designed hardware for neural
networks, 50x faster than CPUs for some applications
Anthos - ANSWER-Manages computing from on-prem and public clouds in a single
unified interface
Cloud SDK - ANSWER-A set of tools to manage resources and applications hosted on
Google Cloud Platform. It includes the gcloud, gsutil, and bq command line tools.
Installed in cloud CLI
, Technical Account Manager (TAM) - ANSWER-A human resource that provides
guidance, architectural reviews, and ongoing communication with your company as you
plan, deploy, and optimize your applications. Requires paying for GCP premium support
Compute Engine - ANSWER-A service that allows users to create VMs, attached
persistent storage to those VMs, and make use of other GCP services like Cloud
Storage. There are discounts applied when a VM is run for more than 25% of the
month.
bare metal - ANSWER-A computer server without any operating system software
installed.
App Engine - ANSWER-Manages the underlying computing and network infrastructure,
there is no need to configure VMs or harden networks to protect your application.
Is used for applications and containers that run for extended periods of time, such as a
website backend, point-of-sale system, or custom business applications.
Standard, flexible - ANSWER-Two types of app engine
Cloud Monitoring - ANSWER-
Cloud Logging - ANSWER-
Pod - ANSWER-A Kubernetes concept that represents the smallest unit of deployment
IP address, cookies, random - ANSWER-App Engine traffic can be split by:
gcloud service enable [ID] - ANSWER-Command to enable an API
CSV, JSON, BigQuery - ANSWER-Billing Export Formats
kubectl get svc -o jsonpath - ANSWER-A 'kubectl' command that allows you to specify
the JSON path of properties in JSON output
Volumes - ANSWER-Mounted directories that are accessible from inside containers
Unmanaged instance groups - ANSWER-A way to group different instances together
gcloud deployment-manager deployments update - ANSWER-command to update a
Deployment Manager deployment
Manual, automatic, basic (only with standard environment) - ANSWER-Scaling Modes
supported by App Engine
Cloud Datastore - ANSWER-The Database commonly paired with App Engine
