Correct Answer is (A): Connecting to Cloud Storage buckets Cloud Storage is a flexible, scalable, and durable storage option for your virtual machine instances. You can read and write files to Cloud Storage buckets from almost anywhere, so you can use buckets as common storage between your instances, App Engine, your on-premises systems, and other cloud services. https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/gcs-buckets Why not (B)? Caution Cloud Source Repositories are intended to store only the source code for your app and not user or personal data. Don't store any Core App Engine Customer Data (as defined in your License Agreement) in Cloud Source Repositories. https://cloud.google.com/source-repositories/docs/features

B is correct. https://cloud.google.com/source-repositories/docs/features

Effective June 17, 2024, Cloud Source Repositories isn't available to new customers. So only option is A for latest, (this question/answers might not be valid anymore) https://cloud.google.com/source-repositories/docs

Effective June 17, 2024, Cloud Source Repositories isn't available to new customers. If your organization hasn't previously used Cloud Source Repositories, you can't enable the API or use Cloud Source Repositories. New projects not connected to an organization can't enable the Cloud Source Repositories API. Organizations that have used Cloud Source Repositories prior to June 17, 2024 are not affected by this change. I think that the question does not exist already, or A is right answer

Use of Deployment Manager Templates: Google Cloud Deployment Manager is a tool that allows you to automate the creation and management of Google Cloud resources. It uses templates written in YAML, Python, or Jinja2 to describe your resources and their configurations. By using Deployment Manager templates, you can provide a clear, codified, and repeatable description of the proposed changes to your infrastructure. Version Control and Collaboration: Cloud Source Repositories provide managed and scalable Git repositories hosted on Google Cloud. Storing your Deployment Manager templates in a source repository enables version control, which is a best practice in software and infrastructure development. This approach facilitates collaboration among team members, allowing for review, commenting, and history tracking of changes to the templates.

B is the correct answer

B is the correct answer

Option B (storing in Cloud Source Repositories) might be suitable for storing application code, but it's not the best practice for storing infrastructure configuration templates.

Correct answer is B

B is the best answer.

As 2022 best practice, B

Correction. 2 years later. Correct Answer is (B):

Thought it was A for a sec, the realized Cloud Source is similar to Github/CodeCommit... So, B is a better choice

B. Use Deployment Manager templates to describe the proposed changes and store them in Cloud Source Repositories

A is the right choice, Use Deployment Manager templates to describe the proposed changes and store them in a Cloud Storage bucket

Don't get confused - it is B. IaC is a matter of version control system like GIT.

B is right .. Showing Deployment Manager templates to your team will allow you to define the changes you want to implement in your cloud infrastructure. You can use Cloud Source Repositories to store Deployment Manager templates and collaborate with your team. Cloud Source Repositories are fully-featured, scalable, and private Git repositories you can use to store, manage and track changes to your code. Hence, the correct answer is: Create Deployment Manager templates to define the proposed changes and save them into Cloud Source Repositories.
