Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer ACE — Topic 1 Question 284

Question

You are developing an application that will be deployed on Google Cloud. The application will use a service account to retrieve data from BigQuery. Before you deploy your application, you want to test the permissions of this service account from your local machine to ensure there will be no authentication issues. You want to ensure that you use the most secure method while following Google-recommended practices. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The correct answer is C. Option C: Configure the gcloud CLI to use service account impersonation. Issue a relevant BigQuery request through the gcloud CLI to test the access. BigQuery is a serverless, petabyte-scale data warehouse for fast SQL analytics with no infrastructure to manage. A service account provides an identity for workloads to access Google Cloud APIs securely.
