Selected Answer: B
Performance degradation in a Cloud SQL MySQL instance is often tied to resource utilization. Cloud Monitoring provides real-time insights into CPU, memory, and storage usage, which are critical factors that affect database performance. Analyzing these metrics helps identify issues such as: High CPU usage due to inefficient queries or excessive connections. Low available memory causing performance bottlenecks. Storage nearing capacity or IOPS limitations impacting performance.

B. No actual errors are mentioned so using Error reporting would be irrelevant. That eliminates C. Inspecting the state of an application is also irrelevant since so mention of any application changes is made. Eliminate D. That leave A and B and B is the best answer. In Cloud SQL you get monitoring built right in (which you don't by default with GCE VMs). Cloud SQL monitoring metrics include CPU utilization, storage usage, memory usage, r/w operations and egress/ingress bytes. Has to be B.

Selected Answer: B
If your instance stops responding to connections or performance is degraded, make sure it conforms to the Operational Guidelines https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/diagnose-issues#:~:text=If%20your%20instance%20stops%20responding%20to%20connections%20or%20performance%20is%20degraded%2C%20make%20sure%20it%20conforms%20to%20the%20Operational%20Guidelines And then checking resource constraints: Storage full CPU overloaded Too many database tables https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/operational-guidelines#resource_constraints Cloud Monitoring seems like the only way to check 2/3 of those, so for me answer is B
