Managed instance group contains identical instnaces, created from an instance template. Supports auto scaling, auto healing, rolling updates, load balancing. VM instances are stateless and disks are deleted on VM recreation. It is possible for load balancer to send traffic to instance group through a named port. Configure autoscaling on and autoscaling policy. Auto scaling policy directs when to auto-scale, based on CPU utlization, HTTP load balancing utilization, Stack driver metric, or combination of the above. It is possible to specify maximum number of instances that can be in instance group. Enable auto healing through healhcheck configuration. Instance group while running, you can add/remove labels. You can do modifications just as you can do with an instance running. With instance group you can have rolling update, rolling restart/replace actions. When performing rolling update, perform canary deployment, and make sure that no rollback is needed. If rollback is needed, t...

Memcache is a distributed in-memory data cache in front of or in place of robust persistent storage for some tasks. GAE includes a memory cache service for this purpose. Best practices for using memcache: 1. Handling memcache API failures gracefully; Do not expose errors to the end users 2. Use batching capability of the API when possible 3. Distribute load across your memcache keyspace Use sharding and aggregating for improving performance efficiency. Use TTL (expiration policy) to make sure the memcache does not fill-up indefinitely Use getIdentifiable() and putIfUntouched() for managing the values that may get affected by concurrent updates Use batching (getMulti ("comments", "commented_by") ) to fetch related values together instead of one by one Use graceful error handling

1. Signed URL is a method of granting temporary access to cloud storage/object via a link 2. How long all non-admin activity logs are kept - 7 days (Basic tier), 30 days (Premium tier) 3. What kind of access is preferred on GCS buckets - IAM Roles, to control access at the object level ACL permissions would come handy 4. VPN routing options - Dynamic BGP based, Route based, Policy based 5. If the object versioning is enabled, when the object is deleted, the deleted object is archived 6. What are the available file formats for exporting billing info to cloud storage - csv,json 7. Service accounts are the non-human IAM account, used for programmatic and application access on GCP resources 8. Environments that Stackdriver can natively monitor are - GCP and AWS 9. Persistent disks (Standard and SSD) and Local SSD 10. Method for automatically applying conditions on cloud storage buckets for deletion and changing storage class is Lifecycle management 11. Organization owner is a ro...
