20+ practice questions focused on Deploying and Implementing a Cloud Solution — one of the most tested topics on the Google Associate Cloud Engineer exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Deploying and Implementing a Cloud Solution PracticeYou want to create a Compute Engine instance with a default machine type of n1-standard-1, using the latest Debian 11 image, with a 50GB boot disk, in the us-central1-a zone. Which gcloud command accomplishes this?
Explanation: The correct command is option B. It specifies the machine type as n1-standard-1, uses the latest Debian 11 image via --image-family=debian-11 and --image-project=debian-cloud, sets the boot disk size to 50GB with --boot-disk-size=50GB, and designates the us-central1-a zone with --zone=us-central1-a. Option A is incorrect because it uses debian-10 instead of debian-11. Option C is wrong because it uses --region instead of --zone. Option D is wrong because it uses --root-disk-size instead of --boot-disk-size.
An organization needs to deploy a containerized web application on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and expose it to the internet with a static IP address. The cluster is regional, with 3 nodes. Which sequence of kubectl commands achieves this?
Explanation: To deploy a containerized web application on GKE with a static IP, you first reserve a regional static IP address using `gcloud compute addresses create web-ip --region=us-central1` (regional because the cluster is regional). Then you create the deployment with `kubectl create deployment web --image=web:v1`, and expose it as a LoadBalancer service, assigning the reserved IP using `kubectl expose deployment web --type=LoadBalancer --port=80 --load-balancer-ip=web-ip`. This sequence matches option D, which is correct. The `--load-balancer-ip` flag directly assigns the reserved regional IP to the service.
You need to create a Cloud Storage bucket with the default storage class for frequently accessed data in the us-west1 region. Which command creates the bucket?
Explanation: The correct command is B because it uses the `-c` flag to explicitly set the storage class to Standard, ensuring the bucket uses the default storage class for frequently accessed data. Option C creates a bucket without specifying a storage class, relying on the project's default, which may not be Standard. Option A uses an invalid `-s` flag. Option D uses a different command (`gcloud storage buckets create`) that may have a different syntax or default behavior.
You are using Terraform to manage a GKE cluster. After running 'terraform apply', the cluster is created. Later, you manually delete the cluster via the Cloud Console. What should you do next to align your Terraform state with the actual infrastructure?
Explanation: When a resource is manually deleted outside of Terraform, 'terraform refresh' is the command designed to reconcile the Terraform state with the actual infrastructure. It will detect that the resource no longer exists and remove it from the state file, thus aligning the state. 'terraform state rm' is a manual state manipulation command that removes a resource from the state file without verifying its existence in the cloud, which can be used but 'refresh' is generally preferred for detecting and correcting drift.
You need to deploy a Cloud Function that is triggered by HTTP requests. You want to pass configuration parameters to the function at deployment time. Which approach should you use?
Explanation: You can set environment variables at deployment time using the --set-env-vars flag with the gcloud functions deploy command. This allows passing configuration parameters without modifying the code. Option C is correct.
