No, the VM must be stopped
Only for Standard disks
Only if the disk is detached
View Explanation
✓ Correct Answer: Yes, you can increase the size of a persistent disk without stopping the VMExplanation:Google Cloud supports online disk resizing, though you may need to resize the file system within the OS afterward.
15

Which Persistent Disk type should you choose for the highest performance, supporting up to 100,000 IOPS and ultra-low latency?

Extreme Persistent Disk
SSD Persistent Disk
Balanced Persistent Disk
Standard Persistent Disk
View Explanation
✓ Correct Answer: Extreme Persistent DiskExplanation:Extreme disks allow you to provision IOPS independently from the disk size.
16

What is an 'Image' in Google Cloud Compute Engine?

17

Can a single Persistent Disk be attached to multiple VM instances simultaneously in Read-Write mode?

No, it can be Read-Write on one VM, or Read-Only on many VMs
Yes
Only for regional disks
Only for bare metal servers
View Explanation
✓ Correct Answer: No, it can be Read-Write on one VM, or Read-Only on many VMsExplanation:While 'Multi-writer' exists for specific specialized workloads and SSD types, the general rule is single-writer.
18

What is a 'Standard Snapshot' of a persistent disk?

A full copy of the disk every time it is taken
A compressed version that cannot be used to create a new disk
A way to move the disk to AWS
View Explanation
✓ Correct Answer: An incremental, point-in-time backup of the data on the diskExplanation:Google snapshots are incremental, meaning they only store the blocks that have changed since the last snapshot, saving space.
19

You are designing a disaster recovery plan for a mission-critical web application on GCE. You need to ensure that the application can be recovered in a different region with a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of 15 minutes. Which component is crucial?

Regularly taking Persistent Disk snapshots and copying them to the secondary region
Using Regional Persistent Disks across two regions
Exporting the VM to a GCS bucket in the secondary region
Using App Engine Standard with multi-region configuration
View Explanation
✓ Correct Answer: Regularly taking Persistent Disk snapshots and copying them to the secondary regionExplanation:Regional PDs only replicate across zones in one region. For inter-region DR with a 15-minute RTO, copying PD snapshots to a remote region and having infrastructure templates (like terraform) ready is the standard approach.
