PDE Practice Question: Drag and drop the steps to create a Cloud…
Drag and drop the steps to create a Cloud Function triggered by Cloud Storage events into the correct order.
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
Step 1: Create a Cloud Storage bucket. Step 2: Write the Cloud Function code. Step 3: Deploy the Cloud Function with the appropriate event trigger. Step 4: Test the function by uploading a file to the bucket.
The correct sequence for creating a Cloud Function triggered by Cloud Storage events is: first ensure the bucket exists (create if needed), then write the function code, deploy the function with the appropriate event trigger (e.g., google.storage.object.finalize), and finally test by uploading a file. Common mistakes include deploying before creating the bucket, testing before deployment, or deploying without code.

- ✓
Step 1: Create a Cloud Storage bucket. Step 2: Write the Cloud Function code. Step 3: Deploy the Cloud Function with the appropriate event trigger. Step 4: Test the function by uploading a file to the bucket.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because you need a bucket first to trigger events, then write the code, deploy it with the trigger configuration, and finally test by uploading a file.
- ✗
Step 1: Write the Cloud Function code. Step 2: Create a Cloud Storage bucket. Step 3: Deploy the Cloud Function with the appropriate event trigger. Step 4: Test the function by uploading a file to the bucket.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the bucket must exist before deploying the function, as the trigger references the bucket. Writing code first is fine, but creating the bucket after deployment would cause the deployment to fail if the bucket doesn't exist.
- ✗
Step 1: Create a Cloud Storage bucket. Step 2: Write the Cloud Function code. Step 3: Test the function by uploading a file to the bucket. Step 4: Deploy the Cloud Function with the appropriate event trigger.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because testing before deployment is not possible; the function must be deployed first to be triggered by the upload event.
- ✗
Step 1: Deploy the Cloud Function with the appropriate event trigger. Step 2: Create a Cloud Storage bucket. Step 3: Write the Cloud Function code. Step 4: Test the function by uploading a file to the bucket.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you cannot deploy a function without code, and the bucket must exist before deployment for the trigger to be valid.
