Your application is built as a custom machine image. You have multiple unique deployments of the machine image. Each deployment is a separate managed instance group with its own template. Each deployment requires a unique set of configuration values. You want to provide these unique values to each deployment but use the same custom machine image in all deployments. You want to use out-of-the-box features of Compute Engine. What should you do?

You are parsing a log file that contains three columns: a timestamp, an account number (a string), and a

transaction amount (a number). You want to calculate the sum of all transaction amounts for each unique

account number efficiently.

Which data structure should you use?

You are designing an application that uses a microservices architecture. You are planning to deploy the application in the cloud and on-premises. You want to make sure the application can scale up on demand and also use managed services as much as possible. What should you do?

Your company has a BigQuery data mart that provides analytics information to hundreds of employees. One

user of wants to run jobs without interrupting important workloads. This user isn't concerned about the time it

takes to run these jobs. You want to fulfill this request while minimizing cost to the company and the effort

required on your part.

What should you do?

You have an application that uses an HTTP Cloud Function to process user activity from both desktop browser and mobile application clients. This function will serve as the endpoint for all metric submissions using HTTP POST.
