2. You are responsible for integrating data from an Azure storage account into Foundry. To ensure optimal
uptime and performance without managing additional infrastructure, which connection method should you
configure?
Third-Party Sync Tool Agent-based
Connection Manual Network
Tunneling
Direct Connection CORRECT ANSWER Direct Connection
3. What is the minimum recommended amount of RAM for a Foundry agent host?
12 GB
8 GB
32 GB
16 GB CORRECT ANSWER 16 GB
4. Which of the following are part of securing a Foundry agent host? Select two.
Allow all inbound traffic to facilitate connectivity. Allow network traffic only
from specific IPs.
Open all ports for flexibility.
Install antivirus software on the host. Ensure the agent host can
talk to Palantir.
Configure the firewall to block all traffic except to desired destinations. CORRECT ANSWER En- sure the agent
,host can talk to Palantir.
Configure the firewall to block all traffic except to desired destinations.
5. A data engineer needs to integrate data from various legacy systems into Palantir AIP without modifying the
existing data formats. Which feature of Palantir AIP facilitates this seamless integration?
Metadata Services Virtual
Tables REST Interfaces
Palantir HyperAuto Pipelines CORRECT ANSWER Virtual Tables
6. Which of the following actions can be performed after successfully syncing a table range from a Fusion
sheet to a dataset in Foundry? Select three.
Change the branch of the dataset.
Modify the export column type to match desired data types. Delete the original Fusion sheet
without affecting the dataset. Use both sheet sync and table sync on the same Fusion sheet.
Automatically merge changes from multiple Fusion sheets.
Rename the synced dataset. CORRECT ANSWER Change the branch of the dataset. Modify the
export column type to match desired data types.
Rename the synced dataset.
7. Which open data format is used by default for transformed data in Palantir AIP to ensure
compatibility with existing data architectures?
JSON
Parquet
CSV
Avro CORRECT ANSWER Parquet
8. Which of the following are responsibilities of Action types in the Palantir Ontology? Select two.
Provide object type polymorphism Define link types
Capture data from operators Author business logic
Orchestrate decision-making processes
Define object properties CORRECT ANSWER Capture data from operators
Orchestrate decision-making processes
9. You are responsible for syncing a specific range of data from a Fusion spreadsheet to a dataset in Foundry to
be used by Contour. After selecting
, the desired table range and initiating the sync, what must you ensure to avoid synchronization issues?
Ensure that the dataset has Viewer permissions.
Export the synced data as a CSV file immediately after syncing. Only use table sync without
any sheet sync in the Fusion sheet.
Use both sheet sync and table sync within the same Fusion sheet. CORRECT ANSWER Only use table sync
without any sheet sync in the Fusion sheet.
10. When syncing a table range from a Fusion sheet to a dataset in Foundry, which of the following conditions mus
be met to ensure that future changes in the spreadsheet are reflected in the dataset?
The user must have at least Editor permissions on the dataset. The dataset must be exported as
a CSV file after each sync.
Both sheet sync and table sync must be enabled concurrently.
The user must have Viewer permissions on the dataset. CORRECT ANSWER The user must have at least Editor
permissions on the dataset.
11. When developing a transform for unstructured datasets in Foundry, which of the following approaches is
most effective for parsing semi-struc- tured data like JSON or XML files?
Converting the unstructured data into plain text before processing. Storing the unstructured data as
binary blobs without parsing.
Leveraging custom Python or Java code within the transform to handle pars- ing.
Using built-in SQL functions to parse the data directly. CORRECT ANSWER Leveraging custom Python or Java
code within the transform to handle parsing.
12. Which role is required to configure network egress policies in Foundry's managed SaaS
platform?
Information Security Officer User
Project Admin
Data Pipeline Developer CORRECT ANSWER Information Security Officer
13. Which of the following components enhance security interoperability within Palantir AIP?
SAML integration for authentication Using internal
scripts for authorization
