[All Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer Questions]

Your company runs services by using multiple globally distributed Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) clusters. Your operations team has set up workload monitoring that uses Prometheus-based tooling for metrics, alerts, and generating dashboards. This setup does not provide a method to view metrics globally across all clusters. You need to implement a scalable solution to support global Prometheus querying and minimize management overhead. What should you do?

A. Configure Prometheus cross-service federation for centralized data access.
B. Configure workload metrics within Cloud Operations for GKE.
C. Configure Prometheus hierarchical federation for centralized data access.
D. Configure Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus.

Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus is Google Cloud's fully managed, multi-cloud, cross-project solution for Prometheus metrics. It lets you globally monitor and alert on your workloads, using Prometheus, without having to manually manage and operate Prometheus at scale. Managed Service for Prometheus collects metrics from Prometheus exporters and lets you query the data globally using PromQL, meaning that you can keep using any existing Grafana dashboards, PromQL-based alerts, and workflows. It is hybrid- and multi-cloud compatible, can monitor both Kubernetes and VM workloads, retains data for 24 months, and maintains portability by staying compatible with upstream Prometheus.
