Google Cloud Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer — Question 82

Your team is running microservices in Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). You want to detect consumption of an error budget to protect customers and define release policies. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Create SLIs from metrics. Enable Alert Policies if the services do not pass.
• B. Use the metrics from Anthos Service Mesh to measure the health of the microservices.
• C. Create a SLO. Create an Alert Policy on select_slo_burn_rate.
• D. Create a SLO and configure uptime checks for your services. Enable Alert Policies if the services do not pass.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because creating a Service Level Objective (SLO) and setting an Alert Policy on select_slo_burn_rate directly addresses the need to monitor error budget consumption. Options A and D focus on SLIs and uptime checks, which are important but do not specifically target error budget management as effectively as option C. Option B, while useful for measuring health, does not relate to error budgets or release policies.
