Viva Questions and Answers - Assignments 1 to 4

1. Install Google App Engine and Create Apps

Q: What is Google App Engine (GAE)?

A: Google App Engine is a cloud platform for hosting and deploying web applications. It supports multiple

languages and handles infrastructure automatically.

Q: How did you create a Hello World app?

A: I created an app.yaml configuration, added a main.py file with a basic response, and deployed using the

GAE CLI tools.

Q: Languages supported by GAE?

A: GAE supports Python, Java, Node.js, PHP, Ruby, Go, and .NET, among others, for developing and

deploying web applications.

Q: How does GAE handle scaling?

A: GAE automatically scales applications based on traffic, creating or shutting down instances as needed

without manual configuration.

2. Use GAE Launcher

Q: What is GAE Launcher?

A: GAE Launcher is a GUI tool for running and deploying GAE apps locally or to the cloud. It simplifies the

development process.

Q: Steps to deploy using GAE Launcher?

A: Import the project, run it locally, then click deploy. It uses credentials to push the app to Google Cloud.

Q: Benefits of GAE Launcher?

A: It provides an easy-to-use interface for local development, testing, and deployment of cloud applications

on Google App Engine.

3. Simulate a cloud scenario using CloudSim

Q: What is CloudSim?

A: CloudSim is a simulation toolkit for modeling cloud computing environments, including datacenters, virtual

machines, and cloud users.

Q: Why simulate in CloudSim?

A: It helps analyze performance, resource allocation, and scheduling policies in a controlled environment

without actual cloud deployment.


Viva Questions and Answers - Assignments 1 to 4

Q: How to add custom scheduling algorithm?

A: Extend existing classes like VmScheduler or CloudletScheduler and override methods to implement new

scheduling logic.

4. File Transfer between VMs

Q: How to transfer files between VMs?

A: Use tools like SCP or Rsync with SSH access. Example: scp file.txt user@vm-ip:/destination/path.

Q: Prerequisites for file transfer?

A: Ensure SSH access is enabled, both VMs are network accessible, and proper authentication (keys or

password) is set.

Q: Other tools for file transfer?

A: You can use SFTP, shared folders, cloud storage (like Google Drive), or configuration management tools

like Ansible.

5. Launch VM using Trystack

Q: What is TryStack?

A: TryStack is a free online OpenStack demo environment for learning and testing OpenStack cloud features.

Q: Steps to launch VM on TryStack?

A: Login, create a key pair, choose an image and flavor, configure security group, and launch instance using

dashboard.

Q: What is OpenStack?

A: OpenStack is an open-source cloud platform for managing compute, storage, and networking resources in

public or private clouds.

6. Deploy app in PaaS environment

Q: What is PaaS?

A: Platform as a Service provides a platform for developers to deploy applications without managing

infrastructure, examples include Heroku and GAE.

Q: How did you deploy a web app?

A: I used Heroku CLI, created a Procfile, pushed code using Git, and deployed with one command: heroku

deploy.

Q: Advantages of PaaS?
Viva Questions and Answers - Assignments 1 to 4

A: Simplifies development, offers scalability, built-in services, and eliminates the need for manual server

management or configuration.
