An organization is preparing to launch a new mission-critical application on Google Cloud. Before running the full production deployment, the cloud architecture team needs to validate the deployment procedures and infrastructure readiness. Which TWO validation practices should be included in the pre-deployment testing strategy? (Select TWO)
- Verify regional resource quota limits in advance to ensure the destination Google Cloud region can accommodate the target workload size.Answer
- Execute automated Infrastructure as Code (IaC) dry-run validations and plan checks in a staging environment to detect configuration errors early.Answer
- CDefer regional quota verifications until production deployment because quotas scale dynamically based on real-time resource utilization.
- DGrant the Service Account Admin role to the test compute instances so they can modify project-level access controls during validation tests.
Answer
The correct practices are verifying regional resource quota limits in advance to ensure adequate capacity, and executing automated Infrastructure as Code (IaC) dry-run validations in staging environments before production deployment.
Verifying regional quotas ensures that resource capacity requests will not be rejected during deployment. Running IaC dry-run checks verifies syntax, dependencies, and expected changes without modifying live infrastructure prematurely.
