Q1. In the Google Cloud resource hierarchy, which resource sits directly above projects and is typically used to group projects belonging to different departments or teams?

A. Folder
B. Organization node
C. Billing account
D. Resource label

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: A. Folder

Folders sit between the Organization node and Projects, letting you group projects (for example by department or environment) and apply IAM policies or org policies at that level. The Organization node is the root, and billing accounts and labels are not hierarchy containers.

Q2. A development team wants to deploy an App Engine application packaged as a custom Docker image with SSH access to the underlying instances, accepting slower scaling and no scale-to-zero. Which App Engine environment should they plan for?

A. App Engine Standard
B. Cloud Run
C. GKE
D. App Engine Flexible

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: D. App Engine Flexible

App Engine Flexible runs applications in Docker containers on Compute Engine VMs, allowing custom runtimes and SSH access, but it scales more slowly and does not scale to zero. App Engine Standard restricts you to supported language runtimes and does not allow SSH access to instances.

Q3. A regional managed instance group is configured across a region with three zones. What is its main deployment benefit over a zonal MIG?

A. Instances are automatically distributed across multiple zones, improving availability if one zone fails
B. It automatically deploys to every region in the project
C. It removes the need for a health check
D. It guarantees lower cost than a zonal MIG

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: A. Instances are automatically distributed across multiple zones, improving availability if one zone fails

A regional MIG spreads instances across multiple zones within the region, so a single zone outage does not take down the whole group. It does not span multiple regions, doesn't remove the need for health checks, and isn't inherently cheaper.
