Google Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer Question 246
Select 2Google Cloud PlatformYour organization has deployed a hybrid cloud solution with workloads running both in Google Cloud and on an on-premises data center. To ensure uniform monitoring and observability across this environment, you have decided to use Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus. However, your on-premises environment does not natively support direct integration with Google Cloud services. Which steps should you take to collect and analyze metrics from both environments seamlessly using Managed Service for Prometheus?
- A
Configure a Prometheus sidecar to export metrics from on-premises Prometheus instances to Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus.
- B
Use Cloud Monitoring agents on all on-premises servers to push metrics directly to Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus.
- C
Set up a federation between the on-premises Prometheus and Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus.
- D
Use Google Cloud’s Cloud Service Mesh to automatically synchronize metrics from the on-premises environment.
- E
Deploy Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus collectors on both on-premises and Google Cloud environments.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
To collect and analyze metrics across a hybrid cloud environment using Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus, you need to ensure that metrics from the on-premises Prometheus instances are accessible by the Google Cloud environment. This can be achieved by either setting up a Prometheus sidecar to export metrics or configuring federation between the on-premises Prometheus and Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus. These approaches allow you to maintain compatibility with the Prometheus ecosystem and achieve consistent monitoring across environments.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Configuring a Prometheus sidecar allows you to export metrics from on-premises Prometheus instances to Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus while maintaining compatibility with Prometheus' open-source ecosystem.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Cloud Monitoring agents are not designed to push metrics directly to Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus. The agents are used for integration with Cloud Monitoring, which is a separate service.
- C. Correct.
Correct. Setting up a federation between the on-premises Prometheus and Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus enables you to aggregate and query metrics from both environments seamlessly.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Cloud Service Mesh is a service mesh solution for managing microservices communication and does not provide functionality for synchronizing metrics.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus collectors are designed for Google Cloud environments and cannot be deployed directly in on-premises environments.
