Questions # 4:

You are building an application that processes data files uploaded from thousands of suppliers. Your primary goals for the application are data security and the expiration of aged data. You need to design the application to:

•Restrict access so that suppliers can access only their own data.

•Give suppliers write access to data only for 30 minutes.

•Delete data that is over 45 days old.

You have a very short development cycle, and you need to make sure that the application requires minimal maintenance. Which two strategies should you use? (Choose two.)

Options:

Build a lifecycle policy to delete Cloud Storage objects after 45 days.

Use signed URLs to allow suppliers limited time access to store their objects.

Set up an SFTP server for your application, and create a separate user for each supplier.

Build a Cloud function that triggers a timer of 45 days to delete objects that have expired.

Develop a script that loops through all Cloud Storage buckets and deletes any buckets that are older than 45 days.

Questions # 5:

You need to create a copy of a custom Compute Engine virtual machine (VM) to facilitate an expected increase in application traffic due to a business acquisition. What should you do?

Options:

Create a Compute Engine snapshot of your base VM. Create your images from that snapshot.

Create a Compute Engine snapshot of your base VM. Create your instances from that snapshot.

Questions # 6:

You have a Compute Engine instance hosting an application used between 9 AM and 6 PM on weekdays. You want to back up this instance daily for disaster recovery purposes. You want to keep the backups for 30 days. You want the Google-recommended solution with the least management overhead and the least number of services. What should you do?

Options:

1. Update your instances’ metadata to add the following value: snapshot–schedule: 0 1 * * *2. Update your instances’ metadata to add the following value: snapshot–retention: 30

1. In the Cloud Console, go to the Compute Engine Disks page and select your instance’s disk.2. In the Snapshot Schedule section, select Create Schedule and configure the following parameters:–Schedule frequency: Daily–Start time: 1:00 AM – 2:00 AM–Autodelete snapshots after 30 days

1. Create a Cloud Function that creates a snapshot of your instance’s disk.2.Create a Cloud Function that deletes snapshots that are older than 30 days.3.Use Cloud Scheduler to trigger both Cloud Functions daily at 1:00 AM.

1. Create a bash script in the instance that copies the content of the disk to Cloud Storage.2.Create a bash script in the instance that deletes data older than 30 days in the backup Cloud Storage bucket.3.Configure the instance’s crontab to execute these scripts daily at 1:00 AM.
