Exam Professional Cloud Architect topic 1 question 147 discussion

Actual exam question from Google's Professional Cloud Architect
Question #: 147
Topic #: 1
[All Professional Cloud Architect Questions]

Your company has an enterprise application running on Compute Engine that requires high availability and high performance. The application has been deployed on two instances in two zones in the same region in active-passive mode. The application writes data to a persistent disk. In the case of a single zone outage, that data should be immediately made available to the other instance in the other zone. You want to maximize performance while minimizing downtime and data loss.
What should you do?

  • A. 1. Attach a persistent SSD disk to the first instance. 2. Create a snapshot every hour. 3. In case of a zone outage, recreate a persistent SSD disk in the second instance where data is coming from the created snapshot.
  • B. 1. Create a Cloud Storage bucket. 2. Mount the bucket into the first instance with gcs-fuse. 3. In case of a zone outage, mount the Cloud Storage bucket to the second instance with gcs-fuse.
  • C. 1. Attach a regional SSD persistent disk to the first instance. 2. In case of a zone outage, force-attach the disk to the other instance.
  • D. 1. Attach a local SSD to the first instance disk. 2. Execute an rsync command every hour where the target is a persistent SSD disk attached to the second instance. 3. In case of a zone outage, use the second instance.

C is right answer. C. 1. Attach a regional SSD persistent disk to the first instance. 2. In case of a zone outage, force-attach the disk to the other instance. gcs-fuse is slower than of regional SSD PD. **** Admin: You need to correct lots of questions. Some of the marked answers are nonsense, these must be revisited based on experts comments.

BigQuery cannot use customer supplied KMs keys only customer managed keys. The other options add too much complexity to the problem.

C In the event that the primary zone fails, you can fail over your regional Persistent Disk volume to a VM in another zone by using a force-attach operation. When there's a failure in the primary zone, you might not be able to detach the disk from the VM because the VM can't be reached to perform the detach operation. Force-attach operation lets you attach a regional Persistent Disk volume to a VM even if that volume is attached to another VM

I don't get why B has been given as answer... GCS-FUSE brings in additional complexity and it also doesn't serve the same purpose as effectively as regional SSD does.

Selected Answer: C
Regional persistent disk is a storage option that provides synchronous replication of data between two zones in a region. Regional persistent disks can be a good building block to use when you implement HA services in Compute Engine.
