20+ practice questions focused on Google Cloud Products and Services — one of the most tested topics on the Google Cloud Digital Leader exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Google Cloud Products and Services PracticeA company needs to store petabytes of time-series IoT sensor data and query it with single-digit millisecond latency at millions of reads per second. The data has a simple key-value structure with timestamps. Which Google Cloud database is MOST appropriate?
Explanation: Cloud Bigtable is designed for petabyte-scale, low-latency, high-throughput NoSQL storage for time-series, IoT, and financial data. It scales horizontally by adding nodes.
A developer wants to deploy a containerized web application that can automatically scale to zero when there are no requests, and charges only for resources used during request processing. Which Google Cloud compute service should they use?
Explanation: Cloud Run is a serverless container platform that scales to zero and charges per request. Google Kubernetes Engine and Compute Engine require running instances, and App Engine Standard is a platform as a service but not container-based.
An organization needs to run a batch process every night that analyzes terabytes of data from Cloud Storage and writes results back to BigQuery. The job is not time-sensitive and can be preempted. Which compute approach is most cost-effective?
Explanation: Preemptible VMs on Compute Engine offer the lowest cost for fault-tolerant batch workloads because they are up to 80% cheaper than regular VMs but can be terminated at any time. Cloud Run has a request timeout limit and is not ideal for long-running batch jobs. GKE with preemptible nodes is also cost-effective but requires Kubernetes expertise and is more complex than simply using preemptible VMs. Cloud Functions has a timeout limit.
Which Google Cloud service provides a fully managed, scalable data warehouse for running SQL queries on petabyte-scale data and supports BI tools like Looker?
Explanation: BigQuery is a serverless data warehouse that scales to petabytes and uses SQL for analytics. Cloud SQL is for OLTP, Cloud Storage is object storage, and Dataflow is for data processing pipelines.
A company wants to migrate its on-premises PostgreSQL database to Google Cloud with minimal application changes. They need high availability and want to leverage AI-powered optimizations for performance. Which service should they choose?
Explanation: AlloyDB is a fully managed PostgreSQL-compatible database optimized for demanding workloads, with high availability and AI-powered performance features. Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL also supports HA but lacks the AI optimizations. Cloud Spanner is not PostgreSQL-compatible. Bigtable is NoSQL.
