Sample Questions for Google Professional Cloud Database Engineer Exam Preparation

Question 1

You are choosing a new database backend for an existing application. The current database is running PostgreSQL on an on-premises VM and is managed by a database administrator and operations team. The application data is relational and has light traffic. You want to minimize costs and the migration effort for this application. What should you do?

AMigrate the existing database to Firestore.

BMigrate the existing database to Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL.

CMigrate the existing database to Cloud Spanner.

DMigrate the existing database to PostgreSQL running on Compute Engine.

Correct : B

You could migrate to Spanner leveraging the PostgreSQL dialect, but costs need to be minimized so that wouldn't be the cheapest option. Especially since the load doesn't justify Spanner. Again, you could migrate like-for-like to a GCE VM, but that defeats minimizing the migration effort. The cheapest and easiest way to migrate would be Database Migration Service to Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL.

Question 2

Your organization is currently updating an existing corporate application that is running in another public cloud to access managed database services in Google Cloud. The application will remain in the other public cloud while the database is migrated to Google Cloud. You want to follow Google-recommended practices for authentication. You need to minimize user disruption during the migration. What should you do?

AUse workload identity federation to impersonate a service account.

BAsk existing users to set their Google password to match their corporate password.

CMigrate the application to Google Cloud, and use Identity and Access Management (IAM).

DUse Google Workspace Password Sync to replicate passwords into Google Cloud.

Correct : A

Updating passwords represents user disruption. Eliminate B. Eliminate C for the same reason. D doesn't make sense, leaves A. From Google's documentation, ''Traditionally, applications running outside Google Cloud can use service account keys to access Google Cloud resources. However, service account keys are powerful credentials, and can present a security risk if they are not managed correctly. With identity federation, you can use Identity and Access Management (IAM) to grant external identities IAM roles, including the ability to impersonate service accounts. This approach eliminates the maintenance and security burden associated with service account keys.'' https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/workload-identity-federation
