Domain 1: Designing and planning a cloud solution architecture

Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect · this domain is approximately 16.7% of the exam · 0 practice questions.

This domain covers the end-to-end process of designing Google Cloud architectures that meet business requirements, including selecting appropriate compute, storage, networking, and managed services for a given workload. The Professional Cloud Architect exam expects candidates to evaluate trade-offs between options such as Compute Engine, GKE, Cloud Run, and App Engine based on scalability, cost, and operational overhead. Candidates must also demonstrate the ability to translate non-functional requirements, including availability targets, disaster recovery objectives, and regulatory constraints, into concrete architectural decisions. A strong grasp of this domain is foundational because every other domain assumes an architecture has already been thoughtfully planned.
