Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect PCA — Topic 1 Question 245

Question

Your employer is a financial services company that recently acquired a popular fintech startup. The startup's core application is a monolithic Python application running on a managed instance group of Compute Engine virtual machines with a single, large PostgreSQL database. Your development team struggles with slow deployment cycles, and the monolithic design of the startup's core application makes it difficult to integrate new. ML-powered fraud detection models. You need a long-term strategy that improves developer agility and positions the company to leverage Google Cloud's advanced data and AI capabilities for future innovations. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The correct answer is C. Option C: Propose a phased, event-driven migration to a microservices architecture. Use Pub/Sub for asynchronous communication and deploy the fraud models on Vertex AI endpoints. Pub/Sub is a serverless, global messaging service that decouples services and ingests high-volume event streams. Vertex AI is the unified managed platform to build, train, tune, deploy, and operate ML models.
