About this chapter
What this chapter covers
This section is worth about 12.5 percent of the exam. The architect has a design; now development and operations teams must build and run it. You advise them on how to deploy applications and infrastructure, manage APIs, test, migrate data and systems, and work with Google Cloud through tools, SDKs, emulators, infrastructure as code and client libraries.
It covers advising development and operations teams (application and infrastructure deployment, API management with Apigee, testing frameworks, migration tooling and Gemini Cloud Assist) and interacting with Google Cloud programmatically (Cloud Shell, Cloud Code, the gcloud, gcloud storage and bq tools, emulators, Terraform, API access best practices and client libraries).
How the topics fit together
The questions are practical: which deployment method lets three associates test a new revision while everyone else stays on the old one, which repository setup stops dependency confusion, which tool lets developers see edits in a cluster within seconds.
Prefer the option that uses a managed Google Cloud capability over one that needs teams to install and maintain their own tooling, unless the stem gives a reason.
How to use these pages
