Google Professional Cloud Developer Question 215
Select 3Google Cloud PlatformYou are a developer tasked with deploying a new application to Google Cloud. The application requires a Compute Engine instance to be created and a Cloud Storage bucket to store logs. You decide to use the Google Cloud Console for resource creation and the Google Cloud SDK for scripting deployment tasks. Which steps should you take to ensure the resources are created and configured correctly?
- A
Create the Compute Engine instance using the Google Cloud Console and configure the required instance settings, such as machine type and disk size.
- B
Use the Google Cloud SDK to write a script for creating the Cloud Storage bucket and set the appropriate permissions.
- C
Use Cloud Shell to launch an interactive shell and manually create both the Compute Engine instance and the Cloud Storage bucket.
- D
Enable the required APIs for Compute Engine and Cloud Storage before creating the resources.
- E
Write a deployment script using the Google Cloud SDK to create both the Compute Engine instance and the Cloud Storage bucket, skipping the Google Cloud Console entirely.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To deploy the application successfully, you need to use the appropriate tools for each task. The Google Cloud Console is suited for creating and configuring individual resources like Compute Engine instances. The Google Cloud SDK is designed for scripting and automating tasks, such as creating a Cloud Storage bucket and setting permissions. Additionally, enabling the required APIs beforehand is essential for ensuring the services are available for use.
- A. Correct.
This is correct because the Google Cloud Console provides an interface to create and configure individual Compute Engine instances efficiently.
- B. Correct.
This is correct because the Google Cloud SDK is ideal for scripting tasks like creating a Cloud Storage bucket and setting permissions programmatically.
- C. Incorrect.
This is incorrect because using Cloud Shell for manual resource creation is not as efficient or reliable for complex deployment tasks compared to using the SDK or Console.
- D. Correct.
This is correct because enabling the required APIs is a prerequisite for using certain Google Cloud services, such as Compute Engine and Cloud Storage.
- E. Incorrect.
This is incorrect because the question specifies using the Google Cloud Console for Compute Engine and the SDK for scripting, so skipping the console entirely does not align with the scenario.
