[All Professional Cloud Developer Questions]

Your team recently deployed an application on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). You are monitoring your application and want to be alerted when the average memory consumption of your containers is under 20% or above 80%. How should you configure the alerts?

A. Create a Cloud Function that consumes the Monitoring API. Create a schedule to trigger the Cloud Function hourly and alert you if the average memory consumption is outside the defined range.
B. In Cloud Monitoring, create an alerting policy to notify you if the average memory consumption is outside the defined range.
C. Create a Cloud Function that runs on a schedule, executes kubectl top on all the workloads on the cluster, and sends an email alert if the average memory consumption is outside the defined range.
D. Write a script that pulls the memory consumption of the instance at the OS level and sends an email alert if the average memory consumption is outside the defined range.

To monitor average memory consumption of containers in Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), the best approach is to use Cloud Monitoring. You can create an alerting policy in Cloud Monitoring to notify you if the average memory consumption is outside the defined range. This method leverages Google Cloud's built-in capabilities for efficient and accurate monitoring. For detailed instructions, please refer to: Google Cloud Documentation: https://cloud.google.com/monitoring

Selected Answer: B

No need to use CloudFunction in this case and the custom script is overengineering. Answer B fits the needs.

Selected Answer: B

Cloud Monitoring provides a user-friendly interface to create complex alerting policies. You can set up thresholds for specific metrics, like memory consumption, and receive notifications if these thresholds are exceeded or undercut. This feature negates the need for custom scripts or functions to monitor these metrics.
