Google Cloud Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer — Question 94

Your team is writing a postmortem after an incident on your external facing application. Your team wants to improve the postmortem policy to include triggers that indicate whether an incident requires a postmortem. Based on Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices, what triggers should be defined in the postmortem policy? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. An external stakeholder asks for a postmortem
• B. Data is lost due to an incident.
• C. An internal stakeholder requests a postmortem.
• D. The monitoring system detects that one of the instances for your application has failed.
• E. The CD pipeline detects an issue and rolls back a problematic release.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

The correct answers are A and B because an external stakeholder requesting a postmortem indicates the need for accountability and transparency, while data loss signifies a significant incident that warrants further investigation. Options C, D, and E do not necessarily indicate the critical nature of an incident that requires a postmortem, as they pertain more to internal processes or system checks rather than external impact.
