Google Google Certified Professional - Cloud Architect (GCP) Professional-Cloud-Architect Exam Dumps: Updated Questions & Answers (July 2026)

Question # 1

Refer to the Altostrat Media case study for the following solutions regarding cost optimization for batch processing and microservices testing strategies.

A.

Configure reserved VM instances

B.

Deploy spot VM instances.

C.

Set up standard VM instances.

D.

Use Cloud Run functions.

Question # 2

For this question, refer to the TerramEarth case study. Considering the technical requirements, how should you reduce the unplanned vehicle downtime in GCP?

A.

Use BigQuery as the data warehouse. Connect all vehicles to the network and stream data into BigQuery using Cloud Pub/Sub and Cloud Dataflow. Use Google Data Studio for analysis and reporting.

B.

Use BigQuery as the data warehouse. Connect all vehicles to the network and upload gzip files to a Multi-Regional Cloud Storage bucket using gcloud. Use Google Data Studio for analysis and reporting.

C.

Use Cloud Dataproc Hive as the data warehouse. Upload gzip files to a MultiRegional Cloud Storage

bucket. Upload this data into BigQuery using gcloud. Use Google data Studio for analysis and reporting.

D.

Use Cloud Dataproc Hive as the data warehouse. Directly stream data into prtitioned Hive tables. Use Pig scripts to analyze data.

Question # 3

For this question, refer to the Helicopter Racing League (HRL) case study. The HRL development team

releases a new version of their predictive capability application every Tuesday evening at 3 a.m. UTC to a

repository. The security team at HRL has developed an in-house penetration test Cloud Function called Airwolf.

The security team wants to run Airwolf against the predictive capability application as soon as it is released

every Tuesday. You need to set up Airwolf to run at the recurring weekly cadence. What should you do?

A.

Set up Cloud Tasks and a Cloud Storage bucket that triggers a Cloud Function.

B.

Set up a Cloud Logging sink and a Cloud Storage bucket that triggers a Cloud Function.

C.

Configure the deployment job to notify a Pub/Sub queue that triggers a Cloud Function.

D.

Set up Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Confidential Computing to trigger a Cloud Function.

Question # 4

For this question, refer to the Helicopter Racing League (HRL) case study. HRL is looking for a cost-effective

approach for storing their race data such as telemetry. They want to keep all historical records, train models

using only the previous season ' s data, and plan for data growth in terms of volume and information collected.

You need to propose a data solution. Considering HRL business requirements and the goals expressed by

CEO S. Hawke, what should you do?

A.

Use Firestore for its scalable and flexible document-based database. Use collections to aggregate race data

by season and event.

B.

Use Cloud Spanner for its scalability and ability to version schemas with zero downtime. Split race data

using season as a primary key.

C.

Use BigQuery for its scalability and ability to add columns to a schema. Partition race data based on

season.

D.

Use Cloud SQL for its ability to automatically manage storage increases and compatibility with MySQL. Use

separate database instances for each season.

Question # 5

For this question, refer to the Helicopter Racing League (HRL) case study. HRL wants better prediction

accuracy from their ML prediction models. They want you to use Google’s AI Platform so HRL can understand

and interpret the predictions. What should you do?

A.

Use Explainable AI.

B.

Use Vision AI.

C.

Use Google Cloud’s operations suite.

D.

Use Jupyter Notebooks.

Question # 6

For this question, refer to the Dress4Win case study. Dress4Win is expected to grow to 10 times its size in 1 year with a corresponding growth in data and traffic that mirrors the existing patterns of usage. The CIO has set the target of migrating production infrastructure to the cloud within the next 6 months. How will you configure the solution to scale for this growth without making major application changes and still maximize the ROI?

A.

Migrate the web application layer to App Engine, and MySQL to Cloud Datastore, and NAS to Cloud Storage. Deploy RabbitMQ, and deploy Hadoop servers using Deployment Manager.

B.

Migrate RabbitMQ to Cloud Pub/Sub, Hadoop to BigQuery, and NAS to Compute Engine with Persistent Disk storage. Deploy Tomcat, and deploy Nginx using Deployment Manager.

C.

Implement managed instance groups for Tomcat and Nginx. Migrate MySQL to Cloud SQL, RabbitMQ to Cloud Pub/Sub, Hadoop to Cloud Dataproc, and NAS to Compute Engine with Persistent Disk storage.

D.

Implement managed instance groups for the Tomcat and Nginx. Migrate MySQL to Cloud SQL, RabbitMQ to Cloud Pub/Sub, Hadoop to Cloud Dataproc, and NAS to Cloud Storage.

Question # 7

For this question, refer to the Dress4Win case study. You want to ensure that your on-premises architecture meets business requirements before you migrate your solution.

What change in the on-premises architecture should you make?

A.

Replace RabbitMQ with Google Pub/Sub.

B.

Downgrade MySQL to v5.7, which is supported by Cloud SQL for MySQL.

C.

Resize compute resources to match predefined Compute Engine machine types.

D.

Containerize the micro services and host them in Google Kubernetes Engine.

Question # 8

For this question, refer to the JencoMart case study.

JencoMart has decided to migrate user profile storage to Google Cloud Datastore and the application servers to Google Compute Engine (GCE). During the migration, the existing infrastructure will need access to Datastore to upload the data. What service account key-management strategy should you recommend?

A.

Provision service account keys for the on-premises infrastructure and for the GCE virtual machines (VMs).

B.

Authenticate the on-premises infrastructure with a user account and provision service account keys for the VMs.

C.

Provision service account keys for the on-premises infrastructure and use Google Cloud Platform (GCP) managed keys for the VMs

D.

Deploy a custom authentication service on GCE/Google Container Engine (GKE) for the on-premises infrastructure and use GCP managed keys for the VMs.

Question # 9

For this question, refer to the JencoMart case study.

JencoMart wants to move their User Profiles database to Google Cloud Platform. Which Google Database should they use?

A.

Cloud Spanner

B.

Google BigQuery

C.

Google Cloud SQL

D.

Google Cloud Datastore

Question # 10

For this question, refer to the JencoMart case study.
