Google Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer Question 134
Single answerGoogle Cloud PlatformYour organization has a hybrid-cloud architecture where workloads run on both Google Cloud and an on-premises data center. You need to collect and analyze metrics across your application, platform, and networking layers in a unified way. The solution should support multi-cloud environments and provide native integration with Google Cloud services. Which solution should you choose?
- A
Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus
- B
Google Cloud Monitoring with custom metric exporters
- C
Third-party monitoring tools integrated with Cloud Logging
- D
OpenTelemetry with manual configuration for each environment
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus is specifically designed for collecting and analyzing metrics in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. It provides native support for Google Cloud services, Kubernetes, and other platforms, making it easier to achieve a unified monitoring solution. While other options may work, they are either more complex to implement or lack the same level of integration and support for hybrid/multi-cloud scenarios.
- A. Correct.
Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus is the ideal solution for collecting and analyzing metrics in a hybrid/multi-cloud environment. It natively integrates with Google Cloud services, supports Kubernetes, and provides a consistent experience across environments.
- B. Incorrect.
Google Cloud Monitoring with custom metric exporters can provide some of the required capabilities, but it does not offer the same level of native integration for multi-cloud and hybrid environments as Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus.
- C. Incorrect.
Third-party monitoring tools can be integrated with Cloud Logging, but they typically require additional setup and do not natively support Google Cloud services or multi-cloud environments as effectively as Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus.
- D. Incorrect.
OpenTelemetry with manual configuration can work, but it requires significant effort to configure and manage for hybrid and multi-cloud environments compared to the simplicity and native integration of Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus.
