Avoid using sequential filenames such as timestamp-based filenames if you are uploading many files in parallel. Because files with sequential names are stored consecutively, they are likely to hit the same backend server, meaning that throughput will be constrained. In order to achieve optimal throughput, you can add the hash of the sequence number as part of the filename to make it non-sequential.

4.Your company's user-feedback portal comprises a standard LAMP stack replicated across two zones. It is deployed in the us-central1 region and uses autoscaled managed instance groups on all layers, except the database. Currently, only a small group of select customers have access to the portal. The portal meets a 99.99% availability SLA under these conditions However next quarter, your company will be making the portal available to all users, including unauthenticated users. You need to develop a resiliency testing strategy to ensure the system maintains the SLA once they introduce additional user load. What should you do?
A. Expose the new system to a larger group of users, and increase group ' size each day until autoscale logic is tnggered on all layers. At the same time, terminate random resources on both zones.
B. Create synthetic random user input, replay synthetic load until autoscale logic is triggered on at least one layer, and introduce "chaos" to the system by terminating random resources on both zones.
C. Capture existing users input, and replay captured user load until autoscale is triggered on all layers. At the same time, terminate all resources in one of the zones.
D. Capture existing users input, and replay captured user load until resource utilization crosses 80%. Also, derive estimated number of users based on existing users usage of the app, and deploy enough resources to handle 200% of expected load.

5.You set up an autoscaling instance group to serve web traffic for an upcoming launch. After configuring the instance group as a backend service to an HTTP(S) load balancer, you notice that virtual machine (VM) instances are being terminated and re-launched every minute. The instances do not have a public IP address. You have verified the appropriate web response is coming from each instance using the curl command. You want to ensure the backend is configured correctly. What should you do?
A. Ensure that a firewall rule exists to allow source traffic on HTTP/HTTPS to reach the load balancer.
B. Create a tag on each instance with the name of the load balancer. Configure a firewall rule with the name of the load balancer as the source and the instance tag as the destination.
C. Ensure that a firewall rule exists to allow load balancer health checks to reach the instances in the instance group.
D. Assign a public IP to each instance and configure a firewall rule to allow the load balancer to reach the instance public IP.

The load balancer does not need any additional configuration to proxy WebSocket connections.
