Google Cloud Professional Cloud Developer — Question 88

You work for a web development team at a small startup. Your team is developing a Node.js application using Google Cloud services, including Cloud Storage and Cloud Build. The team uses a Git repository for version control. Your manager calls you over the weekend and instructs you to make an emergency update to one of the company's websites, and you're the only developer available. You need to access Google Cloud to make the update, but you don't have your work laptop. You are not allowed to store source code locally on a non-corporate computer. How should you set up your developer environment?

Answer options

• A. Use a text editor and the Git command line to send your source code updates as pull requests from a public computer.
• B. Use a text editor and the Git command line to send your source code updates as pull requests from a virtual machine running on a public computer.
• C. Use Cloud Shell and the built-in code editor for development. Send your source code updates as pull requests.
• D. Use a Cloud Storage bucket to store the source code that you need to edit. Mount the bucket to a public computer as a drive, and use a code editor to update the code. Turn on versioning for the bucket, and point it to the team's Git repository.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, is ideal because Cloud Shell provides a secure, temporary environment for development without storing code locally on a non-corporate device. Options A and B involve using public computers, which poses security risks, while option D suggests mounting a Cloud Storage bucket, which is not compliant with the requirement of not storing code locally.
