You recently migrated an ecommerce application to Google Cloud. You now need to prepare the application for the upcoming peak traffic season. You want to follow Google-recommended practices. What should you do first to prepare for the busy season?
A.
Migrate the application to Cloud Run, and use autoscaling.
B.
Create a Terraform configuration for the application's underlying infrastructure to quickly deploy to additional regions.
C.
Load test the application to profile its performance for scaling.
D.
Pre-provision the additional compute power that was used last season, and expect growth.
Choose C.
Google-recommended practices often involve load testing applications to understand their performance characteristics and determine appropriate scaling strategies.
By load testing the ecommerce application, you can simulate peak traffic scenarios and identify potential bottlenecks or areas for optimization. This allows you to make informed decisions about scaling strategies, such as setting up auto-scaling policies based on the observed performance metrics. Load testing helps ensure that the application can handle the expected peak traffic efficiently and reliably.
Options A, B, and D may have their relevance in different contexts, but load testing the application is typically a crucial step to gather insights into its behavior under stress and to inform scaling strategies for the upcoming peak traffic season.
