GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

Your team is deploying a Compute Engine VM that must read objects from an internal Cloud Storage bucket. Security policy forbids using default service accounts or unnecessary permissions. Which approach satisfies the requirements before the VM is created?

  • Attach no service account and instead add a signed URL for each object as a custom metadata entry on the VM; this removes the need for IAM roles.

  • Reactivate the project's Compute Engine default service account and grant it the Storage Admin role at the project level; any new VM automatically inherits those permissions.

  • Generate a new service account key file, store it in instance metadata, and use application default credentials inside the VM; no IAM role changes are required.

  • Create a user-managed service account with "gcloud iam service-accounts create", grant it the Storage Object Viewer role on the bucket, and specify that service account when you create the VM.
