You want to ensure optimal network monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities using Google Cloud Observability tools. Which two steps should you take to enable effective logging and monitoring for your hybrid cloud setup?
- A
Enable VPC Flow Logs for all VPC subnets in Google Cloud.
- B
Install a Stackdriver Logging agent on all on-premises servers.
- C
Configure Cloud Monitoring dashboards to display metrics from both Google Cloud and on-premises systems.
- D
Use Cloud NAT to route traffic between the on-premises data center and Google Cloud.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
To effectively monitor a hybrid cloud setup, you need to enable VPC Flow Logs to gather detailed network information within Google Cloud. Additionally, configuring Cloud Monitoring dashboards to include metrics from both Google Cloud and on-premises systems ensures you have an integrated view of the entire environment. These steps allow for better visibility and troubleshooting capabilities in a hybrid cloud setup.
- A. Correct.
VPC Flow Logs record network flow data for VPC subnets, providing critical insights into traffic patterns, which is essential for monitoring hybrid cloud setups.
- B. Incorrect.
The Stackdriver Logging agent is not required for on-premises servers because logging on non-Google Cloud systems typically involves exporting logs to Google Cloud using custom configurations or third-party tools.
- C. Correct.
Cloud Monitoring dashboards allow you to visualize metrics from both Google Cloud and on-premises systems, helping you monitor and troubleshoot hybrid environments effectively.
- D. Incorrect.
Cloud NAT is used to allow instances without external IP addresses to access the internet, but it is not relevant to logging and monitoring for hybrid cloud setups.
