PCSE Practice Question: Configuring Access Within a Cloud Solution Environment
A financial services company is migrating to Google Cloud and needs to enforce strict security controls. They want to ensure that: 1) No service account keys are created. 2) All Compute Engine instances must be created with Shielded VM enabled. 3) Only users from the corporate domain (example.com) can be granted IAM roles. Which THREE Organization Policy constraints must be used? (Choose three.)
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
constraints/iam.allowedPolicyMemberDomains
The three constraints are: constraints/iam.disableServiceAccountKeyCreation (prevents key creation), constraints/compute.requireShieldedVm (requires Shielded VM), and constraints/iam.allowedPolicyMemberDomains (restricts IAM members to specific domains). The other constraints are not relevant: constraints/compute.restrictCloudArmorPolicies is about Cloud Armor policies, and constraints/compute.requireOsLogin is about OS Login.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
constraints/compute.requireOsLogin
Why it's wrong here
This requires OS Login for SSH, not relevant to the stated requirements.
- ✓
constraints/iam.allowedPolicyMemberDomains
Why this is correct
This restricts which domains can be used in IAM policy members.
- ✓
constraints/iam.disableServiceAccountKeyCreation
Why this is correct
This disables the creation of service account keys.
- ✓
constraints/compute.requireShieldedVm
Why this is correct
This requires Shielded VM features for all Compute Engine instances.
- ✗
constraints/compute.restrictCloudArmorPolicies
Why it's wrong here
This restricts the use of Cloud Armor policies, not relevant to the requirements.
