Question
What is true about a project?
Answer
  • Projects are a way of organizing and grouping resources in some logical way.
  • You can control access to resources within a project using IAM members and roles.
  • Resources within a project are billed together, so projects can be used to organize billing data.

  • A Google group
  • Their G Suite domain account
  • A service account
  • All of the above

Question 6

Question

Answer
  • APIs have to be enabled within a project to be used.
  • API requests must be authenticated and the caller must be assigned a role that authorizes the API request.
  • Only IAM members working in the role of Project Owner, Project Editor or Project Developer can use an API. Other users must use the console.
  • You assign callers IAM roles to allow access to APIs.

Question 7

Question

Answer
  • Predefined
  • Custom
  • Primitive

Question 8

Question
What best describe the relationship between Services and Service APIs?
Answer
  • Services represent the products available within Google Cloud, and each service has an API that consists of a collection of functions that can be invoked when using the service.
  • Services are things provided by humans, like a help desk of tech support. Service APIs are things that are automated in code.
  • Services are those things aimed at end users, like Google Maps or Gmail. Service APIs are those things used by programmers, like Kubernetes or App Engine.
  • All of the above are true.

Question 9

Question
Let's say you wanted to control what APIs could be used by an application you are developing. What would you do?
Answer
  • Create a login using a G Suite account and programmatically impersonate that account in your code.
  • Create a Service Account with only roles required by your program and download the Service Account key. Configure your software to use that key.
  • Add an SSH key to a Compute Engine instance metadata. Then add that SSH key as an IAM member within your project. Assign the required roles to that member.
  • All of the above would work.

Question 10

Question
If someone is granted the Editor role within a Project, but you want them to have read-only access to a particular bucket in Storage, what could you do?
Answer
