Question 5
You deployed a new application to Google Kubernetes Engine and are experiencing some performance degradation. Your

correlate the metrics and data from the logs to troubleshoot the performance issue and send real-time alerts while minimizing
costs. What should you do?
- A. Create custom metrics from the Cloud Logging logs, and use Prometheus to import the results using the Cloud Monitoring REST API.
- B. Export the Cloud Logging logs and the Prometheus metrics to Cloud Bigtable. Run a query to join the results, and analyze in Google Data Studio.
- C. Export the Cloud Logging logs and stream the Prometheus metrics to BigQuery. Run a recurring query to join the results, and send notifications using Cloud Tasks.
- D. Export the Prometheus metrics and use Cloud Monitoring to view them as external metrics. Configure Cloud Monitoring to create log-based metrics from the logs, and correlate them with the Prometheus data.

- C. 1. Create a continuous integration pipeline on Cloud Build, and configure the pipeline to deploy the application infrastructure using Deployment Manager templates. 2. Configure a pipeline step to create a container with the latest application source code. 3. Deploy the container to a Compute Engine instance as a pipeline step.
- D. 1. Deploy the application infrastructure using gcloud commands. 2. Use Cloud Build to define a continuous integration pipeline for changes to the application source code. 3. Configure a pipeline step to pull the application source code from a Git repository, and create a containerized application. 4. Deploy the new container on Cloud Run as a pipeline step.
