Difficulty: EasyManaging Resource Quotas, Hierarchies, and Cost Optimization

An organization is preparing to deploy a large-scale batch processing workload using Compute Engine in a newly created Google Cloud project. To ensure a successful deployment following GCP resource governance and quota management best practices, which TWO actions should the Cloud Architect take? (Select TWO.)

  1. Evaluate regional Compute Engine resource quota limits in advance and submit quota increase requests prior to starting deployment.Answer
  2. Assign fine-grained predefined IAM roles to project team members based on least privilege rather than primitive roles.Answer
  3. C
    Grant project team members the primitive Owner role so their resource provisioning actions automatically bypass regional quotas.
  4. D
    Proceed with provisioning instances immediately and submit quota adjustment requests only after encountering quota limit errors.

Answer

The correct actions are to evaluate regional resource quota limits in advance and submit quota increase requests prior to deployment, and to assign fine-grained predefined IAM roles based on least privilege rather than primitive roles.
Proactively requesting quota increases ensures that necessary infrastructure can be provisioned in the target region without hitting default limits. Assigning fine-grained predefined IAM roles enforces security governance and the principle of least privilege across the resource hierarchy.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Review capacity requirements against regional quotas.
Determined required compute capacity and verified default project limits in the target region.
Requesting quota increases ahead of time avoids deployment failures from insufficient regional quota.
2
Implement identity and access control best practices.
Granted predefined IAM roles to administrators and engineers.
Enforces least privilege access governance while avoiding the risks of primitive roles.
