Free PCSE sample questions

  1. In GCP IAM, the BEST principle when assigning permissions to a workload is:

    • A. Use a user account
    • B. Service Account with the LEAST set of predefined or custom roles — never use user creds
    • C. Owner role
    • D. Editor role
    Show answer

    Correct: B. Workload Identity for GKE, Workload Identity Federation for external clouds — avoid downloading service account keys whenever possible.

  2. Cloud Identity vs Google Workspace — for an enterprise that already has its own email but needs SSO+IAM for GCP:

    • A. Buy Workspace
    • B. Cloud Identity Free / Premium — provides users, groups, SSO to GCP without bundling email
    • C. Use personal Gmail
    • D. No solution
    Show answer

    Correct: B. Cloud Identity is the user store. Federate with Okta/Azure AD via SAML. Critical for org-wide GCP access management.

  3. A user has Editor on a project and a Deny policy denying storage.buckets.delete. Result:

    • A. Allow wins
    • B. Deny wins — Deny policies override Allow for the matched action
    • C. User gets Owner
    • D. Random configuration
    Show answer

    Correct: B. Org Deny policies are evaluated BEFORE Allow. Use to enforce hard guardrails (no deleting buckets, no public IPs) regardless of role grants.

  4. Resource hierarchy in GCP from top to bottom:

    • A. Project → Folder → Org
    • B. Org → Folder → Project → Resources (IAM inherits down)
    • C. Folder → Project → Org
    • D. Random configuration
    Show answer

    Correct: B. IAM is hierarchical and additive (down to resource), Org Policy too. Plan folders for orgs/business-units to localize policy.

  5. An Org Policy "compute.requireOsLogin" enforces:

    • A. No SSH configuration
    • B. SSH access only via OS Login (centralized IAM-managed Linux logins) — replaces classic SSH key management
    • C. HTTPS only
    • D. MFA only
    Show answer

    Correct: B. OS Login ties Linux uid/gid to IAM identities. Audit trail in Cloud Audit Logs. Pair with 2-step verification.
