Google Cloud for DevOps Engineers

By: Sandeep Madamanchi

Overview of this book

DevOps is a set of practices that help remove barriers between developers and system administrators, and is implemented by Google through site reliability engineering (SRE). With the help of this book, you'll explore the evolution of DevOps and SRE, before delving into SRE technical practices such as SLA, SLO, SLI, and error budgets that are critical to building reliable software faster and balance new feature deployment with system reliability. You'll then explore SRE cultural practices such as incident management and being on-call, and learn the building blocks to form SRE teams. The second part of the book focuses on Google Cloud services to implement DevOps via continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD). You'll learn how to add source code via Cloud Source Repositories, build code to create deployment artifacts via Cloud Build, and push it to Container Registry. Moving on, you'll understand the need for container orchestration via Kubernetes, comprehend Kubernetes essentials, apply via Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and secure the GKE cluster. Finally, you'll explore Cloud Operations to monitor, alert, debug, trace, and profile deployed applications. By the end of this SRE book, you'll be well-versed with the key concepts necessary for gaining Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer certification with the help of mock tests.

Practice test

Answer the following questions:

  1. A user changes the image of a container running in a Pod against a deployment in a Kubernetes cluster. A user updates the deployment specification. Select the option that describes the accurate behavior:

    a) The container image of the Pod tied to the deployment will get instantly updated and the running Pods will use the new container image.

    b) A new ReplicaSet will be created with the new image running inside a new Pod and will run in parallel with the older ReplicaSet with the older image.

    c) The current running Pod will stop instantly, and a new Pod will be created with the new image. There will be some downtime.

    d) A new ReplicaSet will be created with the new image running inside a new Pod and will gradually replace Pods from the old ReplicaSet.

  2. Select the smallest unit of deployment in Kubernetes:

    a) Deployment

    b) Container

    c) Pod

    d) ReplicaSet

  3. Select the object and the basis on which a Service object directs traffic:

    a) The...
