GCP Core Concepts (GCP PDE) Flashcards
GCP Professional Data Engineer Flashcards
| Front | Back |
| How are GCP IAM roles applied | At the project, folder, or organization level |
| How are VMs in GCP connected to the internet | Using an External IP or through Cloud NAT |
| How do you assign an IAM role to a user | Using the GCP Console, gcloud CLI, or API to bind the role to the user’s email or service account |
| How many zones can a GCP region have | Typically 3 or more zones per region |
| What are custom IAM roles | Roles created by users to define specific sets of permissions tailored to their needs |
| What are global resources in GCP | Resources that can be used globally like Cloud Storage buckets or Pub/Sub topics |
| What are the three types of networks in GCP | Default, auto mode, and custom mode networks |
| What command-line tool is commonly used to interact with GCP | The gcloud CLI |
| What does the hierarchy of resources in GCP consist of | Organization, folders, projects, and resources |
| What happens if a zone goes down | A resource in a different zone within the same region can maintain availability depending on the architecture |
| What is a GCP region | A specific geographical location where you can host your resources |
| What is a GCP zone | A deployment area within a region representing a single failure domain |
| What is a key consideration for designing fault-tolerant systems in GCP | Using multiple zones or regions to ensure redundancy |
| What is a multi-regional service in GCP | Services designed to automatically distribute data or workloads across multiple regions for better availability |
| What is a predefined IAM role | A role with a set of permissions provided by GCP for common use cases |
| What is a Shared VPC | A VPC that allows multiple projects to share the same network resources |
| What is GCP’s default networking model | A global, private fiber network that interconnects all regions and zones |
| What is the difference between a regional and a global service | Regional services operate in one region while global services span multiple regions |
| What is the difference between an organization and a project in GCP | An organization is the top-level container for resources; a project groups resources specific to workloads |
| What is the principle of least privilege | Granting users the minimum permissions they need to perform their job |
| What is the purpose of Cloud DNS | Provides scalable, reliable, and managed Domain Name System services |
| What is the purpose of cloud storage buckets location settings | Determines whether data is stored globally, regionally, or within multi-regions |
| What is the purpose of GCP regions and zones | They allow users to deploy resources closer to their users or workloads while providing resiliency |
| What is the role of a service account | Provides an identity for applications or virtual machines to interact with GCP services |
| What is the role of IAM in GCP | It manages permissions and access control for users and resources |
This deck covers foundational topics like GCP regions, zones, and global infrastructure, as well as understanding IAM roles and permissions specific to data engineering tasks.
