Google Cloud Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer — Question 133

Your application's performance in Google Cloud has degraded since the last release. You suspect that downstream dependencies might be causing some requests to take longer to complete. You need to investigate the issue with your application to determine the cause. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Configure Error Reporting in your application.
• B. Configure Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus in your application.
• C. Configure Cloud Profiler in your application.
• D. Configure Cloud Trace in your application.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, is to configure Cloud Trace, which helps in monitoring request latency and pinpointing any delays caused by downstream dependencies. The other options, while useful for different purposes, do not specifically focus on tracking request performance and latency like Cloud Trace does.
