All questions are working fine.
You need to run a business-critical workload on a fixed set of Compute Engine instances for several months. The workload is stable with the exact amount of resources allocated to it. You want to lower the costs for this workload without any performance implications. What should you do?
Your organization recently adopted a container-based workflow for application development. Your team develops numerous applications that are deployed continuously through an automated build pipeline to a Kubernetes cluster in the production environment. The security auditor is concerned that developers or operators could circumvent automated testing and push code changes to production without approval. What should you do to enforce approvals?
You support a high-traffic web application and want to ensure that the home page loads in a timely manner. As a first step, you decide to implement a Service Level Indicator (SLI) to represent home page request latency with an acceptable page load time set to 100 ms. What is the Google-recommended way of calculating this SLI?
You encounter a large number of outages in the production systems you support. You receive alerts for all the outages that wake you up at night. The alerts are due to unhealthy systems that are automatically restarted within a minute. You want to set up a process that would prevent staff burnout while following Site Reliability Engineering practices. What should you do?
Your application images are built and pushed to Google Container Registry (GCR). You want to build an automated pipeline that deploys the application when the image is updated while minimizing the development effort. What should you do?
As the DevOps Engineer in charge of defining Infrastructure, it's your responsibility to create and modify the Terraform templates. To prevent any conflicts between you and the two new engineers working on the same code, you'll need to establish a process, and implement a tool to ensure the latest version captures all updates. What would be the best approach for this?
Storing Virtual Machine (VM) utilization logs in Stackdriver, a Google Cloud Platform solution, you need to provide a shareable, interactive dashboard reflecting real-time updates and summarized on a quarterly basis. What is the best way to do this?
Supporting an application running on App Engine that is globally accessed from various device types, you need to know the number of connections. Utilizing Stackdriver Monitoring for App Engine, what metric should you use to get this information?
Adopting Site Reliability Engineering practices, what should you do to resolve the issue of your CI/CD pipeline, using Cloud Build for building new Docker images and Git for code versioning, not producing any artifacts after making a change in the YAML configuration?
To visualize the frequency of cache misses for an application that stores product information in cached memory, one should use Stackdriver Logging to log each miss. By doing this, it is possible to see how often a cache miss occurs over time. What method is best for visualizing this data?
