Select 3Google Cloud PlatformYour team has deployed a web application on Google Cloud Platform using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Users are reporting that the application is experiencing intermittent connectivity issues. As a Google Certified Associate Cloud Engineer, which of the following steps should you take to diagnose the issue using Google Cloud's diagnostic tools?
- A
A. Use Google Cloud's Operations Suite to check the Stackdriver Logging for errors and warnings.
- B
B. Deploy a new version of the application to see if the problem resolves itself.
- C
C. Use Google Cloud's Operations Suite to monitor the Stackdriver Monitoring dashboards for any anomalies in resource usage.
- D
D. Check the Google Cloud Console for any maintenance notifications that might impact the application.
- E
E. Use Google Cloud Trace to analyze the latency of the application requests.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
To effectively diagnose an application issue on GKE, an Associate Cloud Engineer should utilize Google's Operations Suite, which includes Cloud Logging and Cloud Monitoring, to gather information on errors, warnings, and resource usage. Additionally, Cloud Trace can be used to analyze request latency, helping identify potential bottlenecks. These tools provide comprehensive insights into the application's behavior, which are crucial for troubleshooting connectivity issues.
- A. Correct.
A. This option is correct because Stackdriver Logging (now called Cloud Logging) can provide detailed logs of your application, which are essential for diagnosing errors and warnings.
- B. Incorrect.
B. Deploying a new version without identifying the root cause is not a diagnostic step and might introduce new issues.
- C. Correct.
C. This option is correct as Stackdriver Monitoring (now called Cloud Monitoring) helps observe the application's performance and resource utilization, which can indicate potential problems.
- D. Incorrect.
D. While maintenance notifications are useful, they are less likely to be the cause of intermittent issues and not the primary diagnostic tool.
- E. Correct.
E. This option is correct because Google Cloud Trace can help identify latency issues, providing insights into where bottlenecks might be occurring.
