Google Cloud Professional Cloud Developer — Question 115
You are developing a new application that has the following design requirements:
✑ Creation and changes to the application infrastructure are versioned and auditable.
✑ The application and deployment infrastructure uses Google-managed services as much as possible.
✑ The application runs on a serverless compute platform.
How should you design the application's architecture?
Answer options
- A. 1. Store the application and infrastructure source code in a Git repository. 2. Use Cloud Build to deploy the application infrastructure with Terraform. 3. Deploy the application to a Cloud Function as a pipeline step.
- B. 1. Deploy Jenkins from the Google Cloud Marketplace, and define a continuous integration pipeline in Jenkins. 2. Configure a pipeline step to pull the application source code from a Git repository. 3. Deploy the application source code to App Engine as a pipeline step.
- C. 1. Create a continuous integration pipeline on Cloud Build, and configure the pipeline to deploy the application infrastructure using Deployment Manager templates. 2. Configure a pipeline step to create a container with the latest application source code. 3. Deploy the container to a Compute Engine instance as a pipeline step.
- D. 1. Deploy the application infrastructure using gcloud commands. 2. Use Cloud Build to define a continuous integration pipeline for changes to the application source code. 3. Configure a pipeline step to pull the application source code from a Git repository, and create a containerized application. 4. Deploy the new container on Cloud Run as a pipeline step.
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Option A is the correct choice as it utilizes a Git repository for versioning, employs Cloud Build for deployment with Terraform, and deploys to a Cloud Function, which aligns with serverless architecture. Options B, C, and D involve using Jenkins or Compute Engine, which do not fully leverage Google-managed services and do not fit the serverless requirement as effectively as A does.
