Understand what is needed in the near term and what may be needed in the future. For example, we don't have specific MLOps workflows in the TerramEarth case study. Initially, predictions may be based only on structured data, but some vehicles may have cameras to create images of machine components or the operating environment. In the future, there may be an opportunity to use images of operating environments to automatically detect a problem in the environment that could damage the vehicle. In that case, AutoML Vision Edge may be useful for performing image classification in real time. This requirement is not stated, and not even implied, but it is the kind of planning for the future that architects are expected to do.
Understand how to plan a migration. Migrations are high-risk operations. Data can be lost, and services may be unavailable. Know how to plan to run new and old systems in parallel so that you can compare results. Be able to identify lower-risk migration steps so that they can be scheduled first. Plan for incremental migrations.
Know agile software development practices. You won't have to write code for this exam, but you will need to understand continuous integration/continuous delivery and how to maintain development, test, staging, and production environments. Understand what is meant by an infrastructure-as-code service and how that helps accelerate development and deployment.
Keep in mind that solutions may involve non-Google services or applications. Google has many services, but sometimes the best solution involves a third-party solution. For example, Jenkins and Spinnaker are widely used tools to support continuous integration and deployment. Google Cloud has a code repository, but many developers use GitHub. Sometimes businesses are locked into existing solutions, such as a third-party database. The business may want to migrate to another database solution, but the cost may be too high for the foreseeable future.
Review Questions
1 You have been tasked with interviewing line-of-business owners about their needs for a new cloud application. Which of the following do you expect to find?A comprehensive list of defined business and technical requirementsThat their business requirements do not have a one-to-one correlation with technical requirementsBusiness and technical requirements in conflictClear consensus on all requirements
2 You have been asked by stakeholders to suggest ways to reduce operational expenses as part of a cloud migration project. Which of the following would you recommend?Managed services, preemptible machines, access controlsManaged services, preemptible machines, autoscalingNoSQL databases, preemptible machines, autoscalingNoSQL databases, preemptible machines, access controls
3 Some executives are questioning your recommendation to employ continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD). What reasons would you give to justify your recommendation?CI/CD supports small releases, which are easier to debug and enable faster feedback.CI/CD is used only with preemptible machines and therefore saves money.CI/CD fits well with waterfall methodology but not agile methodologies.CI/CD limits the number of times code is released.
4 The finance director has asked your advice about complying with a document retention regulation. What kind of service-level objective (SLO) would you recommend to ensure that the finance director will be able to retrieve sensitive documents for at least the next seven years? When a document is needed, the finance director will have up to seven days to retrieve it. The total storage required will be approximately 100 TB.High availability SLODurability SLOReliability SLOScalability SLO

Some of the business managers are unfamiliar with this term in the context of IT. How would you describe an incident?A disruption in the ability of a DevOps team to complete work on timeA disruption in the ability of the business managers to approve a project plan on schedule A disruption that causes a service to be degraded or unavailableA personnel problem on the DevOps team
6 You have been asked to consult on a cloud migration project that includes moving private medical information to a storage system in the cloud. The project is for a company in the United States.

7 You are in the early stages of gathering business and technical requirements. You have noticed several references about needing up-to-date and consistent information regarding product inventory and support for SQL reporting tools.

8 A developer at Mountkirk Games is interested in how architects decide which database to use. The developer describes a use case that requires a document store. The developer would rather not manage database servers or have to run backups. What managed service would you suggest the developer consider?Cloud FirestoreCloud SpannerCloud StorageBigQuery
9 Members of your company's legal team are concerned about using a public cloud service because other companies, organizations, and individuals will be running their systems in the same cloud. You assure them that your company's resources will be isolated and not network-accessible to others because of what networking resource in Google Cloud?CIDR blocksDirect connectionsVirtual private cloudsCloud Pub/Sub
