Google Cloud Digital Leader — Question 54

Your large and frequently changing organization's user information is stored in an on-premises LDAP database. The database includes user passwords and group and organization membership.
How should your organization provision Google accounts and groups to access Google Cloud resources?

Answer options

• A. Replicate the LDAP infrastructure on Compute Engine
• B. Use the Firebase Authentication REST API to create users
• C. Use Google Cloud Directory Sync to create users
• D. Use the Identity Platform REST API to create users

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as Google Cloud Directory Sync is specifically designed to synchronize LDAP directories with Google accounts efficiently. The other options, such as A, involve more complexity without direct support for synchronization, while B and D utilize APIs that do not integrate LDAP directly.
