Exam Professional Cloud Architect topic 6 question 3 discussion

Actual exam question from Google's Professional Cloud Architect
Question #: 3
Topic #: 6
[All Professional Cloud Architect Questions]

For this question, refer to the Mountkirk Games case study. Mountkirk Games wants to design their solution for the future in order to take advantage of cloud and technology improvements as they become available. Which two steps should they take? (Choose two.)

  • A. Store as much analytics and game activity data as financially feasible today so it can be used to train machine learning models to predict user behavior in the future.
  • B. Begin packaging their game backend artifacts in container images and running them on Google Kubernetes Engine to improve the ability to scale up or down based on game activity.
  • C. Set up a CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins and Spinnaker to automate canary deployments and improve development velocity.
  • D. Adopt a schema versioning tool to reduce downtime when adding new game features that require storing additional player data in the database.
  • E. Implement a weekly rolling maintenance process for the Linux virtual machines so they can apply critical kernel patches and package updates and reduce the risk of 0-day vulnerabilities.

A+B) =>as well as other metrics that provide deeper insight into usage patterns so we can adapt the game to target users. environment that provides autoscaling, low latency load balancing, and frees us up from managing physical servers.

Enable CI/CD integration to improve deployment velocity, agility and reaction to change. is the right answer. Having a CI/CD pipeline means you can deploy changes to environments faster. Does this help you take advantage of cloud and technology improvements as they become available in the future? Yes. When new features become available, you can incorporate them into your application and deploy them to test/production environments easily/efficiently and decrease the time to go live. Store more data and use it as training data for machine learning. is the right answer. The more data you, the better you can train your AI model. The better the trained model, the better the prediction service can perform. By retaining as much real data as financially feasible, you are in the best position to take advantage of AI improvements in the future. Ref: https://cloud.google.com/ai-platform AC

As they want to take advantage of cloud, it is better to choose Cloud Build which is from GCP's service to build CI/CD. AB is the choice

Hi techalik, I googled right now and could not finde " By retaining as much real data as financially feasible, you are in the best position to take advantage of AI improvements in the future." - from an economic perspective that makes no sense or the wording in the question is very "dirty". What is financially feasible? For me that means invest every cent you have into data - that cannot be the right approach. I vote for B+C.

B & C - C beause: "Mountkirk Games wants to design their solution for the future in order to take advantage of cloud and technology improvements as they become available". Spinnaker makes it easy to use new features as they become available: https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/product/google-cloud-platform/spinnaker?pli=1 - Pre-integrated with Google Cloud Platform Spinnaker for Google Cloud Platform is pre-configured to work with GCP products like Cloud Build, Compute Engine, App Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine, and Stackdriver.

I can see why C & D are the given correct answers. They objectively allow you to quickly incorporate tech improvements. A. Would help with possible machine learning models in the future. B. Makes use of an existing technology D. Makes use of an existing technology I chose A & E but I think C & E probably what Google are after.

In technical and business requirement of the case study it mentioned about Analytics, not machine learning. So A seems not a correct answer here. D is very generic as OS upgrade and patches could be done outside GCP. I would go with B and C.

A. Store as much analytics and game activity data as financially feasible today so it can be used to train machine learning models to predict user behavior in the future. Storing as much data as possible will allow Mountkirk Games to use machine learning models to analyze and predict user behavior, which can help them adapt the game to target users and improve the user experience. B. Begin packaging their game backend artifacts in container images and running them on Google Kubernetes Engine to improve the ability to scale up or down based on game activity. Containerization allows Mountkirk Games to package their game backend and dependencies into a single unit that can be easily deployed and run on any platform. By using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Mountkirk Games can take advantage of GKE's autoscaling and load balancing features to ensure that their game backend can scale up or down based on game activity. This will help Mountkirk Games improve uptime and reduce latency to all customers, as well as increase the efficiency of their cloud resources.
