Exam Professional Cloud Architect topic 1 question 30 discussion

E. Cloud Deployment Manager can be used to permanently delete cloud resources F. Cloud Deployment Manager only supports automation of Google Cloud resources

C and F- make sense to me

I guess everyone agree on C, the debate is between B and F. Before I start, I need to stress on the word "Business" not "Technical" risks, we need to take this in our minds. B: Cloud Deployment Manager APIs could be deprecated in the future >> this is not a risk at all as the APIs cannot be changed without an announcement and also there is a backward compatibility to prevent such issues, this is something that is tackled a decade ago in all cloud providers. F: Cloud Deployment Manager only supports automation of Google Cloud >> Indeed this is a business risk, as the question didn't mention explicitly that the customer is using only GCP, they left it vague by saying "new cloud environment", so we have to assume that it is multi-cloud strategy including On-premise BTW ( Hybrid-Cloud as well ), so we need a tool that can handle deployments on all of those targets. Based on all of that, I recommend ( C & F )

C and F right

BF are correct

E and F

B. Cloud Deployment Manager APIs could be deprecated in the future: There's always a risk that APIs and tools can be deprecated or replaced with new versions. This could impact the long-term stability of your deployment process if the APIs used by Cloud Deployment Manager are deprecated and require migration to new APIs. C. Cloud Deployment Manager is unfamiliar to the company's engineers: If the company's engineers are not familiar with Cloud Deployment Manager, there could be a learning curve and potential delays during the migration process. Training and adaptation time could affect productivity and introduce risks associated with potential mistakes or inefficiencies during the transition.

B. Cloud deployment manager is being deprecated. F. Cloud Deployment Manager only supports automation of Google Cloud resources The question is about business risks - it's not about technical risks A C D E options are technical aspects of the Deployment manager

Should be B & C

My answer is BC. I think the correct answers should be related to the engineer's custom tool. The choices should answer the question "Why should we migrate Lead Engineer's tool to the new cloud environment". It's tried and tested Custom Tool versus the new Deployment Manager. B, because it can be deprecated, custom tool has been used for a long time. C, because their engineers don't know it yet.

Chat GPT tells me B and C and it gets it right maybe 98% of the time so far. It seems nobody on this discussion can agree on an answer but if we're going to look at keywords of the questions and over-scrutinize them, then yes, risk is a key word and I don't see F as a risk. E is a risk but not even remotely unique to this situation. C is a mild risk but really the only one that makes sense in light of eliminating the others. B is definitely a risk... but then it also isn't unique to this service so we're back at the same issue with E. This question is garbage.

for me C and F

B: Cloud deployment manager is being deprecated. F: Mentions on-premise resources and managing GCP which will make cloud deployment manager not the best tool for this.

All solutions can be deprecated, even GCP. So we are talking about current business risks, so for me work C and F

It's about business risk.

Since business risks are mentioned. C. Training resources will be a cost and untrained resources might cause unnecessary issues costing the business. F. Since the current tool is developed in house and used on premise its not clear if its used for GCP only. GCP deployment manager is only for GCP resources.

According to Google Bard AI: The two business risks of migrating to Cloud Deployment Manager are B. Cloud Deployment Manager APIs could be deprecated in the future and C. Cloud Deployment Manager is unfamiliar to the company's engineers. B --> This could make it difficult to maintain and update the tool, and could also prevent the company from taking advantage of new features that are added to Cloud Deployment Manager. C --> a business risk because it will require the company to invest time and resources in training its engineers how to use the tool. This could slow down the migration process, and could also make it more difficult for the company to adapt to new changes in the tool.
