A DevOps engineer needs to apply the same set of IAM policy bindings to a project in each of three different environments (dev, staging, prod). The engineer wants to avoid manual steps and ensure the bindings are identical across all environments. What should the engineer do?

Run the gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding command three times, once per project, using the same member and role.

Write a Terraform configuration that defines the IAM bindings and apply it to each environment using separate state files.

Create a Cloud Shell script that loops through the projects and runs gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding for each one.

Use gcloud config set project to switch contexts and then run gcloud projects set-iam-policy with the same policy file for each project.

A development team is building a new service that uses Cloud Pub/Sub for messaging. They want to test the service locally without incurring any cloud costs and without needing to set up a separate test project. What should they do?

Use the Cloud Shell terminal to run a local Pub/Sub server.

Use the Pub/Sub emulator included in the Cloud SDK.

Create a free-tier Cloud project and use the real Pub/Sub service.

Use the gcloud pubsub topics create command to create a topic in a local environment.

A development team is building an application that uses Cloud Bigtable. They want to run integration tests locally without incurring any Bigtable costs. They also want to use the same client library code in tests as in production. What should they do?

Create a free-tier Bigtable instance and use it for tests.

Use the Cloud Shell terminal to run a local Bigtable server.

Use the gcloud bigtable instances create command to create a test instance.

Use the Bigtable emulator and configure the client library to connect to it.
