What is the purpose of Google API client libraries?

To simplify programmatic interaction with Google Cloud services in supported languages

To replace the need for authentication

To provide a command-line interface for Google Cloud services

To provide a graphical interface for managing resources

Which benefit is directly associated with using Infrastructure as Code?

It guarantees zero downtime during deployments

Infrastructure changes can be reviewed and versioned like application code

Manual resource provisioning is faster

It eliminates the need for configuration management

A developer is writing a Python application that calls the Cloud Storage API to list objects in a bucket. The application runs on a Compute Engine VM with the default service account. The developer wants to authenticate the API calls without embedding any credentials in the code. What should the developer do?

Create a service account key and set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable.

Use the Google Cloud client library for Python, which automatically uses Application Default Credentials.

Use the gcloud auth login command to authenticate the VM.

Use the gcloud auth application-default login command on the VM.

A data engineer needs to copy a large number of objects from one Cloud Storage bucket to another in a different region. The engineer wants to minimize the time the copy takes and also ensure that the copy is resumable. What should the engineer do?

Use gsutil rsync with the -m flag to synchronize the buckets.

Use gsutil cp with the -m flag to perform a parallel copy.

Use the Cloud Console to copy the objects.

Use gsutil cp without any flags.

What is the primary purpose of the Cloud Shell Terminal?

To edit code files in a web-based editor

To run commands and interact with Google Cloud resources from a browser-based shell

To provide a graphical interface for managing Cloud Storage

To deploy applications using a graphical wizard
