挨踢小茶管理员
本篇战报发自于群友Feng Wu,原帖发在了Medium上,因为国内很多朋友访问不方便,因此转到茶馆论坛一份。原帖可见:https://medium.com/@feng.wu.it/how-i-pass-the-google-cloud-associate-cloud-engineer-exam-826e48837d9a
Today, I would be very glad to tell you that I have passed the Google Cloud ACE exam. Since I have already got my AWS and Azure cloud certificate, I think this give me some advantages when taking part in the GCP ACE exam as I am able to compare some terminology with other two cloud services, which is really useful.
I have listed the major type of questions I encounter during my test:
- First of all , although I have purchased some practice exam on both Whizlabs.com and LinuxAcademy, I only run into very few questions the same as those in the practice exam. Just focusing on practice exam is not enough to get GCP ACE certificate, you need to really have a solid understanding in a number of fields such a Compute Engine, App Engine, GKE Engine, Network Configuration, IAM Roles and etc,.
- Kubernetes Engine, with no doubt accounts for almost 30% of the total 50 questions. There are lots of questions regarding the resize, the way to redeploy the application, service discovery, traffic splitting and etc. In order to pass the exam, I believe you must dive deep in the GKE service and have a good command of all the related knowledge point.
- App Engine and Compute Engine are also very import, you need to be familiar with the access permission required to deal with these two services. Also there are a lot of questions on how to resize VM, the choice of different type of VM, how to get access to VM for a single user and for a group of users.
- I run into several questions related to VPC, Shared VPC, CIDR, so you must be very clear about the principle of region, VPC, the connection between two VPCs, how to configure the ip address of VPC and subnet.
- In addition, the permission and access right to deal with different services like EKS, App Engine, Compute Engine are also of utmost important. You must have a solid command of service account, roles, IAM, IAM Users, Groups. Being able to distinguish the usage of above services in different Scenario will definitely enable you be more confident while participating in the exam.
- Last but not least, a basic idea of the common practice regarding DevOps essential. You must have a basic idea on how to deploy the application from Development Environment to Production Environment, how to allocate the traffic from current version to the latest version and etc,. If you have experience in delivering application to the real Prod Environment , I am sure you will definitely find you own way to solve the above questions.
- What’s more, maybe it is a good idea to dig into all the CLI command used to list, create, modify all the related services in GCP.
Although I have passed the AWS and Azure Cloud Service test before, it still takes me a month to prepare for the GCP ACE test. The preparation includes the learning of online courses, the energy spent in the practice test and Apply for my personal account on GCP Cloud and to have some hands-on experiment based on the online courses. Practice is always better than learning. If you can have some hands-on courses and try to resolve the issue you encounter during the course, I believe you will learn much more and command the know in a better way than just watching the online course alone.
Of all the three exam I have attended, including AWS SAA, AZ-103, GCP ACE, I think the exam with google is the most difficult. You do need to have good command not only in the principle of different services but also the CLI command to work them out.
Finally, I hope this article could shed some light on how to better prepare for your GCP ACE exam. I wish all of you good luck if you are aiming at or in the process of working towards this certification.
