Free Google Cloud Architect Actual Exam Questions - Question 14 Discussion
system that multiple Compute Engine VMs need to mount and access concurrently
for configuration files and temporary storage. What is the most appropriate,
managed GCP service?
D Cloud Filestore is the only managed service here that provides a true shared file system with POSIX compliance, which is essential for legacy apps expecting standard file semantics. The other options are more like object or database stores and won’t support mounting as a regular file system by multiple VMs concurrently. So this really rules out A, B, and C for this case.
D Cloud Filestore is designed for exactly this use case: shared, POSIX-compliant file systems accessible by multiple VMs at once. The others don’t support traditional file system semantics needed here.
D imo, Cloud Storage isn’t POSIX-compliant, so it can’t be mounted like a traditional file system. Cloud Filestore fits the shared access and POSIX requirements much better here.
Maybe A makes the most sense since predefined dashboards already have key metrics, so you don’t waste time setting things up during an incident. D sounds too slow for quick triage.
It’s A, predefined dashboards save time versus building stuff from scratch every time.
D imo, creating custom dashboards for each incident sounds like a lot of work and slows down response time. A feels way more practical since predefined dashboards are already set up for quick monitoring.
A imo, easiest and quickest for triaging.
