GCP Professional Cloud Architect Practice Question

Your organization prohibits installing additional command-line tools on employee laptops. A data engineering squad must occasionally run BigQuery queries and transfer objects to Cloud Storage from their workstations. They want an ephemeral environment that already contains the gcloud, gsutil, and bq CLIs, is automatically authenticated to their Google Cloud project, and requires no local software installation or manual credential setup. Which solution best satisfies these constraints while keeping operational overhead to a minimum?

  • Launch Google Cloud Shell from the Google Cloud console and run the required commands in its pre-provisioned, auto-authenticated shell session.

  • Set up a shared bastion host VM with the Cloud SDK installed and have developers SSH into it when they need to run commands.

  • Provide developers with a Docker image that contains the Cloud SDK and instruct them to run it locally using Docker Desktop.

  • Install the Cloud Code plug-in in each developer's IDE to invoke the gcloud, gsutil, and bq commands from their local machines.
