Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect — Question 103

Your marketing department wants to send out a promotional email campaign. The development team wants to minimize direct operation management. They project a wide range of possible customer responses, from 100 to 500,000 click-through per day. The link leads to a simple website that explains the promotion and collects user information and preferences.
Which infrastructure should you recommend? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Use Google App Engine to serve the website and Google Cloud Datastore to store user data.
• B. Use a Google Container Engine cluster to serve the website and store data to persistent disk.
• C. Use a managed instance group to serve the website and Google Cloud Bigtable to store user data.
• D. Use a single Compute Engine virtual machine (VM) to host a web server, backend by Google Cloud SQL.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Option A is correct because Google App Engine provides a fully managed platform that can easily scale to handle varying traffic levels, while Google Cloud Datastore offers a scalable NoSQL database for user data. Option C is also suitable as a managed instance group can automatically scale based on traffic, and Google Cloud Bigtable is designed for large amounts of data, making it appropriate for high volumes of user interactions. Options B and D do not offer the same level of management and scalability, which are essential given the potential range of customer responses.
