20+ practice questions focused on Managing and Provisioning a Solution Infrastructure — one of the most tested topics on the Google Professional Cloud Architect exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Managing and Provisioning a Solution Infrastructure PracticeAn engineer needs to provision a GKE cluster with a node pool that uses preemptible VMs to reduce costs. Which gcloud command should they use?
Explanation: The --preemptible flag when creating a node pool makes all nodes in that pool preemptible. The other options either don't exist or are incorrect.
A company uses Cloud Deployment Manager to manage infrastructure. They want to roll back to a previous deployment state after a failed update. What is the recommended approach?
Explanation: Deployment Manager stores the deployment manifests. You can use an update with a previous manifest to revert to a known good state. Deleting and recreating is not a rollback. Partial updates are not supported directly.
A team wants to enforce that only container images signed by their CI/CD system can be deployed to GKE. They have enabled Binary Authorization with a policy that requires an attestor. What additional step must they take to bind the attestor to the image signing process?
Explanation: After creating the attestor, you must create an AttestationAuthority note in Container Analysis and grant the attestor service account permission to bind attestations. Configuring Cloud Build to sign images is part of the process but not the binding step.
An organization has multiple GCP projects managed by a central operations team. They want to define a common VPC configuration in a host project and allow service projects to use it. Which networking feature should they use?
Explanation: Shared VPC allows a host project to contain shared VPC networks that service projects can use. VPC peering is for connecting separate networks. Private Service Connect is for accessing managed services. Cloud VPN is for on-premises connectivity.
A Cloud Run service needs to connect to a Cloud SQL MySQL instance privately without using public IP. What must be configured?
Explanation: To privately connect Cloud Run to Cloud SQL, you need a Serverless VPC Access connector in the same VPC as the Cloud SQL instance, and then use the private IP of Cloud SQL. Private Google Access is for on-prem, not Cloud Run. Direct VPC is not available for Cloud Run.
