Google Cloud Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer — Question 162

Your company is planning a large marketing event for an online retailer during the holiday shopping season. You are expecting your web application to receive a large volume of traffic in a short period. You need to prepare your application for potential failures during the event. What should you do? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Configure Anthos Service Mesh on the application to identify issues on the topology map.
• B. Ensure that relevant system metrics are being captured with Cloud Monitoring, and create alerts at levels of interest.
• C. Review your increased capacity requirements and plan for the required quota management.
• D. Monitor latency of your services for average percentile latency.
• E. Create alerts in Cloud Monitoring for all common failures that your application experiences.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answers, B and C, focus on proactive measures to ensure the application can handle increased traffic and potential failures. Capturing system metrics and implementing alerts (B) allows for real-time monitoring, while assessing capacity needs (C) ensures that the application can scale appropriately. Options A, D, and E, while helpful, do not directly address the immediate preparation for a high-traffic event and potential failures as effectively as B and C do.
