Google Cloud Certified - Professional Cloud Network Engineer Sample Questions:
You have created several preemptible Linux virtual machine instances using Google Compute Engine. You want to properly shut down your application before the virtual machines are preempted. What should you do?
- A. Create a shutdown script named shutdown in the /etc/ directory.
- B. Create a shutdown script registered as a xinetd service in Linux and configure a StackDriver endpoint check to call the service.
- C. Create a shutdown script, registered as a xinetd service in Linux, and use the gcloud compute instances add-metadata command to specify the service URL as the value for a new metadata entry with the key shutdown-script-url
- D. Create a shutdown script and use it as the value for a new metadata entry with the key shutdown- script in the Cloud Platform Console when you create the new virtual machine instance.

You are designing a security-focused network architecture on Google Cloud. Your company has deployed a central inspection VPC that contains a fleet of Cloud Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) appliances. The inspection VPC has a default route with next hop pointing to the passthrough Network Load Balancer with NGFW appliances as backends.
You also have two application VPCs (App-A and App-B) that are not allowed to directly communicate with each other, nor do they have a default route in their VPC. You need to ensure that all traffic originating from App-A and App-B are forced through the inspection VPC to be analyzed by the Cloud NGFW appliances.
What should you do?
- A. Create a Network Connectivity Center hub in mesh topology, connect all three VPCs as spokes, and configure the inspection VPC to advertise the default route.
- B. Create two separate VPC Network Peering connections: One between the inspection VPC and App-A, and another between the inspection VPC and App-B.
- C. Create a Network Connectivity Center hub in star topology. Configure the inspection VPC spoke as a center group that advertises a default route, and configure the application VPCs as edge spokes to use that route for inter-VPC traffic.
- D. Use VPC Network Peering to create a full mesh by peering all three VPCs with each other, and then use firewall rules to deny all traffic between App-A and App-B.

Create a trust config in Certificate Manager. Flip the TLS inspection flag in your firewall policy rules to true. - B. Grant the network security service agent service account the privateca.poolReader role. Create a TLS inspection policy linking to the CA pool. Configure your VPC endpoint associations to use the TLS inspection policy. Flip the TLS inspection flag in your firewall policy rules to true.

You have an application that is running in a managed instance group. Your development team has released an updated instance template which contains a new feature which was not heavily tested. You want to minimize impact to users if there is a bug in the new template.
How should you update your instances?
- A. Deploy a new instance group and canary the updated template in that group.
Verify the new feature in the new canary instance group, and then update the original instance group. - B. Perform a canary update by starting a rolling update and specifying a target size for your instances to receive the new template.
Verify the new feature on the canary instances, and then roll forward to the rest of the instances. - C. Using the new instance template, perform a rolling update across all instances in the instance group.
Verify the new feature once the rollout completes. - D. Manually patch some of the instances, and then perform a rolling restart on the instance group.
