An application development team believes their current logging tool will not meet their needs for their new cloud-based product. They want a better tool to capture errors and help them analyze their historical log data. You want to help them find a solution that meets their needs.
What should you do?
The team needs a solution that captures errors and helps analyze historical log data for their new cloud-based product. A logical first step is to help them define their requirements clearly, which will ensure that any chosen logging tool meets their needs effectively. Assessing viable logging tools allows for a comprehensive comparison of options and ensures the selected tool provides all necessary features. This approach is more thorough than simply directing them to a specific tool or resource without understanding their specific requirements.
A. This is GCP exam. They will always promote their services. Not a third party solution.
Remember that agent is only required for non cloud based resources. The question is saying their cloud based... feel C meets this need
It's given as 'cloud based resource' but didn't mention if it is 'GCP'. It could be any cloud provider. So Stackdriver might be the answer.
logging agent is required for compute engine too.
Totally Agree. offering Stackdriver Logging is what they want from a GCA. answer is A.
Agreed
Is an Architect exam... the team THINKS that the tool WILL NOT MEET requirements... you should help to undesntend what they need... Is C... it not says that you will offert third party solution
C should be the correct answer here
C is ok
I would love to choose B, but need to keep my job..
What all viable logging you would suggest in this scenario! Cloud operations suite has everything.. cloud logging helps with many thing..In my mind this question is not meant for being a perfectionist but what would mostly work while option C is an approach that we will take questions ask about tool. Hence selecting A make sense to me. Thoughts!
Review the logging requirements and use existing logging utility. is not right. You know the requirements as you have found the current logging tool will not meet the needs for the new cloud-based product. Install Google Cloud logging agent on all VMs. is the right answer. The Logging agent streams logs from common third-party applications and system software to Logging. It is a best practice to run the Logging agent on all your VM instances. The agent runs under both Linux and Windows. The Logging agent is compatible with both GCP Compute Engine instances as well as AWS EC2 instances. Google, through its partners, provides logging services for on-premise and hybrid cloud platforms consistently and predictably. Ref: https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/agent
Why do you think they are using VM on GCE?
This is wrong. This certification is meant to prepare you to be a cloud architect (focusing on GCP). This does not mean that you are going to recommend everything that has google on its name. You need to understand client requirements first.
Actually it does. A lot of questions guide you to the, in best case, fully managed GCP services. They should rename the certificate to "Professional Google Cloud Sales Person".
I'm surprised, @MeasService. I guess you had created the question an sugested ans. A. Then you wrote "C should be the correct answer here". Do you change your mind ?
Someone fail the examn xD
Only reason A cannot be the answer is because of the need for Historical Log Data. The logs are captured by stackdriver agent from the point of installation and the requirement clearly says it needs historical logs. Also stackdriver retains logs for 3 months. You need another BQ based solution to retain historical logs older than 3 months. Requirements are need to be analyzed to gather answers for above. So "C" is the answer.
their NEW cloud-based product.
A is too specific (for GCE) considering limit solution details provided, so for an 'architect' exam C makes more sense.
c is the best response here
It is not mentioned that Team is using GCP but some cloud provider. Therefore without understanding requirements and current gaps in tooling we cannot define the solution. I feel correct answer is C
C is right answer! Get Up-to-date: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/937522847419094382
There is cost of IOPS , data storage and compute cost of querying of historical data , if I were an organization that decided to implement an open source solution in GCP I would incur these costs anyways plus developer cost for implementation. I would rather go with whats already there . Of course writing data to a cheaper cloud provider on regular intervals via a message Q could be another option but then again that would incur some extra network costs as well. Since they require an immediate solution I would go with A.
Solution should meet their needs
C. Help them define their requirements and assess viable logging tools. This approach is strategic because it starts with understanding the specific needs of the development team, which can vary widely depending on the nature of the cloud-based product they are working on. Here’s why this is the most suitable option: Requirement Analysis: By defining the exact requirements, you ensure that the selected logging tool will have the necessary features to capture errors and analyze historical log data effectively. Tool Assessment: Once the requirements are clear, you can perform an informed assessment of available logging tools that meet these criteria, which could include Google StackDriver, other cloud-native tools, or third-party solutions. Long-term Solution: Choosing the right tool based on precise requirements is likely to offer a long-term solution rather than a temporary fix.
first we need to know tghe needs
Hi I'm preparing for this exam. anyone who has a pdf with full question. please share to me.
It's C. Option A makes assumptions, that is not what an architect does. DOn't get baited by the that it's a GCP exam and therefore needs to be a GCP product. But most importantly, an agent is for deploying on compute instances. The solution might not even use VMs so A is 100% the wrong answer based on the info we have.
Maybe, at the end of a requirement analysis, the solution might be A, but a tool hardly represents a solution to a business concern.
All who says C, better not go to GCP. It is A, stackdriver agent is GCP Agent. Are you studying for GCP or what?
C. Help them define their requirements and assess viable logging tools Here's why the other options are less suitable: A. Downloading Stackdriver Logging Agent: While Stackdriver Logging Agent is a component of Cloud Logging, it's just the agent for sending logs. They need a broader solution that addresses their needs and evaluates alternatives. B. Logging Best Practices: Best practices are helpful, but they don't directly address finding the right tool for their specific needs. D. Upgrading Current Tool: Upgrading might be an option, but it doesn't consider if a better tool exists that could be a better fit. By helping them define their requirements (error capturing, historical data analysis) and assess various logging tools (including Cloud Logging with Stackdriver), you provide a more comprehensive solution.
All the questions came from Examtopics. there were total 50 questions. 11-12 from case studies. I got all the questions to select one option only.
