Question # 4

You are developing a new application that uses exclusively Compute Engine VMs Once a day. this application will execute five different batch jobs Each of the batch jobs requires a dedicated set of permissions on Google Cloud resources outside of your application. You need to design a secure access concept for the batch jobs that adheres to the least-privilege principle What should you do?

B. 1. Create a general service account "g-sa" to orchestrate the batch jobs. 2. Create one service account per batch job Mb-sa-[1-5]," and grant only the permissions required to run the individual batch jobs to the service accounts. 3. Grant the Service Account Token Creator role to g-sa Use g-sa to obtain short-lived access tokens for b-sa-[1-5] and to execute the batch jobs with the permissions of b-sa-[1-5]. 
C. 1. Create a workload identity pool and configure workload identity pool providers for each batch job 2 Assign the workload identity user role to each of the identities configured in the providers. 3. Create one service account per batch job Mb-sa-[1-5]". and grant only the permissions required to run the individual batch jobs to the service accounts 4 Generate credential configuration files for each of the providers Use these files to execute the batch jobs with the permissions of b-sa-[1-5].
D. 1. Create a general service account "g-sa" to orchestrate the batch jobs. 2 Create one service account per batch job 'b-sa-[1-5)\ Grant only the permissions required to run the individual batch jobs to the service accounts and generate service account keys for each of these service accounts.3. Store the service account keys in Secret Manager. Grant g-sa access to Secret Manager and run the batch jobs with the permissions of b-sa-[1-5].

Question # 7

Your Google Cloud environment has one organization node, one folder named Apps." and several projects within that folder The organizational node enforces the constraints/iam.allowedPolicyMemberDomains organization policy, which allows members from the terramearth.com organization The "Apps" folder enforces the constraints/iam.allowedPolicyMemberDomains organization policy, which allows members from the flowlogistic.com organization. It also has the inheritFromParent: false property. You attempt to grant access to a project in the Apps folder to the user [email protected]. What is the result of your action and why? 

A. The action fails because a constraints/iam.allowedPolicyMemberDomains organization policy must be defined on the current project to deactivate the constraint temporarily.
B. The action fails because a constraints/iam.allowedPolicyMemberDomains organization policy is in place and only members from the flowlogistic.com organization are allowed. 
C. The action succeeds because members from both organizations, terramearth. com or flowlogistic.com, are allowed on projects in the "Apps" folder 
D. The action succeeds and the new member is successfully added to the project's Identity and Access Management (1AM) policy because all policies are inherited by underlying folders and projects.

B. Encrypt the data in the Cloud Storage bucket by using Customer Managed Encryption Keys backed by a Cloud Hardware Security Module (HSM). Enable data access logs.
C. Generate a key in your on-premises environment and store it in a Hardware Security Module (HSM) that is managed on-premises Use this key as an external key in the Cloud Key Management Service (KMS). Activate Key Access Justifications (KAJ) and set the external key system to reject unauthorized accesses. 
D. Generate a key in your on-premises environment to encrypt the data before you upload the data to the Cloud Storage bucket Upload the key to the Cloud Key Management Service (KMS). Activate Key Access Justifications (KAJ) and have the external key system reject unauthorized accesses.
