Sample Google Cloud (GCP) mock test questions

One question from each level, the way they appear in the test. A new set comes on the 1st of every month. Try it, then open the answer.

  1. FresherCloud Storage

    Which statement about Cloud Storage bucket names is true?

    • A bucket name must be unique across all of Cloud Storage, not only within your project
    • A bucket can be renamed at any time from the console without copying any data
    • Two projects can each create a bucket with the same name without any clash
    • Bucket names may contain capital letters and spaces, such as Sales Data 2025
    Show the answer

    Answer: A bucket name must be unique across all of Cloud Storage, not only within your project. Buckets share one global namespace, so a name like invoices is almost surely taken and teams add a company or project prefix. A bucket cannot be renamed; you create a new one and copy the objects. Names use lowercase letters.

  2. Intermediate (1-5 years)Compute Engine

    Which disk option keeps a synchronous copy of the data in two zones of a region?

    • A zonal balanced persistent disk
    • A Local SSD
    • A regional persistent disk
    • A machine image
    Show the answer

    Answer: A regional persistent disk. A regional persistent disk replicates writes synchronously to two zones, so after a zone outage it can be force-attached to a VM in the other zone. Zonal disks live in one zone, Local SSD lives on one host, and a machine image is a backup.

  3. Experienced (5+ years)Load Balancing

    A WebSocket chat app behind a global external ALB loses connections after about 30 seconds. What is the likely cause?

    • WebSockets are not supported by Application Load Balancers in any form at all
    • The health check interval closes every open connection when it runs
    • Cloud Armor closes long connections unless a rate limit is set
    • The backend service timeout, 30 seconds by default, also caps WebSockets
    Show the answer

    Answer: The backend service timeout, 30 seconds by default, also caps WebSockets. For the global external ALB, the backend service timeout is also the longest a WebSocket connection may stay open, idle or not. Raising the timeout, and having clients reconnect, keeps long-lived chat sessions working.

How is the Google Cloud (GCP) mock test scored?

A question counts as right only when you pick exactly the right option, or all the right options where it says so; a question left blank counts as wrong. Your score is the share of the test's questions you got right (15 to 30, by level). The result also scores every topic, so you know what to revise before the interview.

  • 75% or more in a topica strength
  • 50% to 74%worth a revision
  • Under 50%a topic to work on
