Your company runs applications in Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) that are deployed following a GitOps methodology.
Application developers frequently create cloud resources to support their applications. You want to give developers the ability to manage infrastructure as code, while ensuring that you follow Google-recommended practices. You need to ensure that infrastructure as code reconciles periodically to avoid configuration drift. What should you do?
You have an application running in Google Kubernetes Engine. The application invokes multiple services per request but responds too slowly. You need to identify which downstream service or services are causing the delay. What should you do?
You deploy a new release of an internal application during a weekend maintenance window when there is minimal user traffic. After the window ends, you learn that one of the new features isn't working as expected in the production environment. After an extended outage, you roll back the new release and deploy a fix. You want to modify your release process to reduce the mean time to recovery so you can avoid extended outages in the future. What should you do?

You support an application running on GCP and want to configure SMS notifications to your team for the most critical alerts in Stackdriver Monitoring. You have already identified the alerting policies you want to configure this for. What should you do?
You use Terraform to manage an application deployed to a Google Cloud environment The application runs on instances deployed by a managed instance group The Terraform code is deployed by using a CI/CD pipeline When you change the machine type on the instance template used by the managed instance group, the pipeline fails at the terraform apply stage with the following error message
You need to update the instance template and minimize disruption to the application and the number of pipeline runs What should you do?
Your company runs an ecommerce website built with JVM-based applications and microservice architecture in Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) The application load increases during the day and decreases during the night Your operations team has configured the application to run enough Pods to handle the evening peak load You want to automate scaling by only running enough Pods and nodes for the load What should you do?
