Exam Professional Cloud Architect topic 10 question 4 discussion

Actual exam question from Google's Professional Cloud Architect
Question #: 4
Topic #: 10
[All Professional Cloud Architect Questions]

For this question, refer to the TerramEarth case study. TerramEarth has a legacy web application that you cannot migrate to cloud. However, you still want to build a cloud-native way to monitor the application. If the application goes down, you want the URL to point to a "Site is unavailable" page as soon as possible. You also want your Ops team to receive a notification for the issue. You need to build a reliable solution for minimum cost. What should you do?

  • A. Create a scheduled job in Cloud Run to invoke a container every minute. The container will check the application URL. If the application is down, switch the URL to the "Site is unavailable" page, and notify the Ops team.
  • B. Create a cron job on a Compute Engine VM that runs every minute. The cron job invokes a Python program to check the application URL. If the application is down, switch the URL to the "Site is unavailable" page, and notify the Ops team.
  • C. Create a Cloud Monitoring uptime check to validate the application URL. If it fails, put a message in a Pub/Sub queue that triggers a Cloud Function to switch the URL to the "Site is unavailable" page, and notify the Ops team.
  • D. Use Cloud Error Reporting to check the application URL. If the application is down, switch the URL to the "Site is unavailable" page, and notify the Ops team.

If A is the correct answer what;s the point in the uptime checks in cloud monitoring? Why wouldn't we always use Clour Run for this purpose?

I understand now... the key is in the question "you still want to build a cloud-native way "... hence only option C, even if A is the cheapest, it is not cloud-native way.

though if you think about it really hard - Option A *does* the job and does it at *MINIMAL* cost... so it should be A?
