You recently deployed several data processing jobs into your Cloud Composer 2 environment.
You notice that some tasks are failing in Apache Airflow. On the monitoring dashboard, you see an increase in the total workers memory usage, and there were worker pod evictions. You need to resolve these errors. What should you do? (Choose two.)
You are administering a BigQuery on-demand environment. Your business intelligence tool is submitting hundreds of queries each day that aggregate a large (50 TB) sales history fact table at the day and month levels. These queries have a slow response time and are exceeding cost expectations. You need to decrease response time, lower query costs, and minimize maintenance. What should you do?
Cloud Dataproc charges you only for what you really use with _____ billing.
You work for a shipping company that has distribution centers where packages move on delivery lines to route them properly. The company wants to add cameras to the delivery lines to detect and track any visual damage to the packages in transit. You need to create a way to automate the detection of damaged packages and flag them for human review in real time while the packages are in transit. Which solution should you choose?
You have a Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL instance in Region' with one read replica in Region2 and another read replica in Region3. An unexpected event in Region' requires that you perform disaster recovery by promoting a read replica in Region2. You need to ensure that your application has the same database capacity available before you switch over the connections.
What should you do?
You are using Bigtable to persist and serve stock market data for each of the major indices. To serve the trading application, you need to access only the most recent stock prices that are streaming in. How should you design your row key and tables to ensure that you can access the data with the simplest query?
You've migrated a Hadoop job from an on-prem cluster to dataproc and GCS. Your Spark job is a complicated analytical workload that consists of many shuffing operations and initial data are parquet files (on average 200-400 MB size each). You see some degradation in performance after the migration to Dataproc, so you'd like to optimize for it. You need to keep in mind that your organization is very cost-sensitive, so you'd like to continue using Dataproc on preemptibles (with
2 non-preemptible workers only) for this workload. What should you do?
You are configuring networking for a Dataflow job. The data pipeline uses custom container images with the libraries that are required for the transformation logic preinstalled. The data pipeline reads the data from Cloud Storage and writes the data to BigQuery. You need to ensure cost-effective and secure communication between the pipeline and Google APIs and services.
What should you do?
You have a data analyst team member who needs to analyze data by using BigQuery. The data analyst wants to create a data pipeline that would load 200 CSV files with an average size of
15MB from a Cloud Storage bucket into BigQuery daily. The data needs to be ingested and transformed before being accessed in BigQuery for analysis. You need to recommend a fully managed, no-code solution for the data analyst. What should you do?
You have a variety of files in Cloud Storage that your data science team wants to use in their models. Currently, users do not have a method to explore, cleanse, and validate the data in Cloud Storage. You are looking for a low code solution that can be used by your data science team to quickly cleanse and explore data within Cloud Storage. What should you do?
Which of these are examples of a value in a sparse vector? (Select 2 answers.)
You want to automate execution of a multi-step data pipeline running on Google Cloud. The pipeline includes Cloud Dataproc and Cloud Dataflow jobs that have multiple dependencies on each other. You want to use managed services where possible, and the pipeline will run every day. Which tool should you use?
You used Cloud Dataprep to create a recipe on a sample of data in a BigQuery table. You want to reuse this recipe on a daily upload of data with the same schema, after the load job with variable execution time completes. What should you do?
You have a petabyte of analytics data and need to design a storage and processing platform for it. You must be able to perform data warehouse-style analytics on the data in Google Cloud and expose the dataset as files for batch analysis tools in other cloud providers. What should you do?
You work for a large fast food restaurant chain with over 400,000 employees. You store employee information in Google BigQuery in a Users table consisting of a FirstName field and a LastName field. A member of IT is building an application and asks you to modify the schema and data in BigQuery so the application can query a FullName field consisting of the value of the FirstName field concatenated with a space, followed by the value of the LastName field for each employee. How can you make that data available while minimizing cost?
