[All Professional Cloud Architect Questions]

You have deployed an application on Anthos clusters (formerly Anthos GKE). According to the SRE practices at your company you need to be alerted if the request latency is above a certain threshold for a specified amount of time. What should you do?

AEnable the Cloud Trace API on your project and use Cloud Monitoring Alerts to send an alert based on the Cloud Trace metrics

BConfigure Anthos Config Management on your cluster and create a yaml file that defines the SLO and alerting policy you want to deploy in your cluster

CUse Cloud Profiler to follow up the request latency. Create a custom metric in Cloud Monitoring based on the results of Cloud Profiler, and create an Alerting Policy in case this metric exceeds the threshold

DInstall Anthos Service Mesh on your cluster. Use the Google Cloud Console to define a Service Level Objective (SLO)

Option D, where the Google Cloud Console does all the work for me? Sign me up! I'll call that the 'Netflix and chill' approach to SRE.

Samira: That's true, but sometimes it's nice to have a hands-off approach with Option D.

I prefer Option A, enabling Cloud Trace API and using Cloud Monitoring Alerts. It gives me more control.

Yeah, it's like Netflix and chill for SRE. Set it and forget it.

Option D sounds like the easy way out. Just let Google Cloud Console handle everything.

That's a good point, Twana. We should consider all options before making a decision.

Option C is interesting, but using Cloud Profiler just to create a custom metric feels a bit overkill. Why not just use Anthos Service Mesh like in Option D?

Option B is the way to go. Anthos Config Management - the Swiss Army knife of Kubernetes config management!

That's a great choice! Anthos Config Management is really powerful for managing configurations in Kubernetes.

B) Configure Anthos Config Management on your cluster and create a yaml file that defines the SLO and alerting policy you want to deploy in your cluster

I see your point, Lashon. But I think option C is also a good option. Cloud Profiler can provide valuable insights for creating custom metrics.

I disagree, I believe option B is more suitable. Anthos Config Management allows us to define SLO and alerting policy.

I think option A is the best choice. Cloud Trace API can help us monitor request latency.

Option A seems like a good choice, but I'm not sure if it covers the 'specified amount of time' requirement. Cloud Trace might just give us instant metrics.

A) Cloud Trace does provide the ability to set up alerts based on specific conditions, including duration. It should cover the 'specified amount of time' requirement.
