Google Associate Cloud Engineer Question 312
Single answerGoogle Cloud PlatformYour team is experiencing latency issues with a web application deployed on Google Cloud. You suspect that the issue might be related to network performance between the application servers and the database. Which Google Cloud diagnostic tool should you use to identify potential network bottlenecks?
- A
A. Cloud Profiler
- B
B. Cloud Trace
- C
C. VPC Flow Logs
- D
D. Cloud Debugger
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
VPC Flow Logs are a valuable diagnostic tool for troubleshooting network issues, as they provide detailed logs of network traffic within your VPC. This can help identify bottlenecks or unusual traffic patterns that could be causing latency in your application.
- A. Incorrect.
Cloud Profiler is used for analyzing CPU and memory usage of applications, not network performance.
- B. Incorrect.
Cloud Trace is used for latency analysis of requests in applications, but it does not directly identify network bottlenecks.
- C. Correct.
VPC Flow Logs capture information about the IP traffic going to and from network interfaces, which can be used to identify network bottlenecks.
- D. Incorrect.
Cloud Debugger is used for inspecting the state of an application at a specific point in time, not for network diagnostics.
