Professional Cloud Security Engineer Compute Practice Questions
The free Professional Cloud Security Engineer questions that deal with compute, with answers and explanations. The full bank and the timed practice test cover every topic the exam asks about.
Question #3
Your team needs to make sure that a Compute Engine instance does not have access to the internet or to any Google APIs or services. Which two settings must remain disabled to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
Select 2 answers.
Correct answer: A, C
Explanation
A public IP is what exposes an instance to the internet, and Private Google Access is what lets it reach Google APIs without one, so both must remain disabled; IP forwarding and IAM roles do not grant such connectivity.
Question #4
Your team sets up a Shared VPC Network where project co-vpc-prod is the host project. Your team has configured the firewall rules, subnets, and VPN gateway on the host project. They need to enable Engineering Group A to attach a Compute Engine instance to only the 10.1.1.0/24 subnet. What should your team grant to Engineering Group A to meet this requirement?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The compute.networkUser role granted at the subnet level in the host project lets Engineering Group A attach instances only to 10.1.1.0/24; project-level or Shared VPC Admin grants are broader than the requirement.
Question #5
A customer has an analytics workload running on Compute Engine that should have limited internet access. Your team created an egress firewall rule to deny (priority 1000) all traffic to the internet. The Compute Engine instances now need to reach out to the public repository to get security updates. What should your team do?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Firewall rules are evaluated from the lowest priority number upward, so an allow egress rule with a priority less than 1000 overrides the deny-all rule; GCP firewall rules target IP ranges, not hostnames.
Question #9
You will create a new Service Account that should be able to list the Compute Engine instances in the project. You want to follow Google-recommended practices. What should you do?
Correct answer: B
