Actual exam question for Google's Professional Cloud Architect exam

Question #: 7
Topic #: 2

[All Professional Cloud Architect Questions]

Your team is developing a web application that will be deployed on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Your CTO expects a successful launch and you need to ensure your application can handle the expected load of tens of thousands of users. You want to test the current deployment to ensure the latency of your application stays below a certain threshold. What should you do?

AUse a load testing tool to simulate the expected number of concurrent users and total requests to your application, and inspect the results.

BEnable autoscaling on the GKE cluster and enable horizontal pod autoscaling on your application deployments. Send curl requests to your application, and validate if the auto scaling works.

CReplicate the application over multiple GKE clusters in every Google Cloud region. Configure a global HTTP
(S) load balancer to expose the different clusters over a single global IP address.

DUse Cloud Debugger in the development environment to understand the latency between the different microservices.

D seems too focused on debugging, not on testing load.

Wait, can you really handle tens of thousands of users with just one cluster?

C sounds a bit overkill for just testing latency.

I think B is more effective for handling scaling issues.

A is definitely the way to go for load testing!

I think using Cloud Debugger in option D could help with latency issues, but I’m not sure it’s the right approach for testing under load.

I feel like we discussed the benefits of using multiple clusters and load balancers, which makes option C appealing, but it seems a bit complex for just testing latency.

I'm not entirely sure, but enabling autoscaling sounds important too. Maybe option B could help manage the load dynamically?

I remember we practiced load testing tools in our last session, so I think option A makes the most sense for simulating user load.

I'm a bit confused by the question. Can we use a combination of these methods, or is there a specific "best practice" we need to follow?

Okay, let's see. If auto.commit is false, then the offsets must be manually committed, right?

I'm pretty sure a formula field can be used to display the last four digits of an encrypted Social Security number, but I'm not sure about triggering a Process Builder. I'll have to think about that one.

Okay, I've got this. Based on my understanding, the Finesse library is primarily for building custom agent desktops and integrating with CRM systems. So I'll go with options A and B.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully consider the customer's needs and how our solution can best address them.
