You are planning to use Cloud Storage as pad of your data lake solution. The Cloud Storage bucket will contain objects ingested from external systems. Each object will be ingested once, and the access patterns of individual objects will be random. You want to minimize the cost of storing and retrieving these objects. You want to ensure that any cost optimization efforts are transparent to the users and applications. What should you do?

You migrated a data backend for an application that serves 10 PB of historical product data for analytics. Only the last known state for a product, which is about 10 GB of data, needs to be served through an API to the other applications. You need to choose a cost-effective persistent storage solution that can accommodate the analytics requirements and the API performance of up to 1000 queries per second (QPS) with less than 1 second latency. What should you do?

You are designing a messaging system by using Pub/Sub to process clickstream data with an event-driven consumer app that relies on a push subscription. You need to configure the messaging system that is reliable enough to handle temporary downtime of the consumer app. You also need the messaging system to store the input messages that cannot be consumed by the subscriber. The system needs to retry failed messages gradually, avoiding overloading the consumer app, and store the failed messages after a maximum of 10 retries in a topic. How should you configure the Pub/Sub subscription?

You want to migrate an Apache Spark 3 batch job from on-premises to Google Cloud. You need to minimally change the job so that the job reads from Cloud Storage and writes the result to BigQuery. Your job is optimized for Spark, where each executor has 8 vCPU and 16 GB memory, and you want to be able to choose similar settings. You want to minimize installation and management effort to run your job. What should you do?

You are building a data pipeline on Google Cloud. You need to prepare data using a casual method for a machine-learning process. You want to support a logistic regression model. You also need to monitor and adjust for null values, which must remain real-valued and cannot be removed. What should you do?

You are preparing an organization-wide dataset. You need to preprocess customer data stored in a restricted bucket in Cloud Storage. The data will be used to create consumer analyses. You need to follow data privacy requirements, including protecting certain sensitive data elements, while also retaining all of the data for potential future use cases. What should you do?
