A. This is GCP exam. They will always promote their services. Not a third party solution.

It's given as 'cloud based resource' but didn't mention if it is 'GCP'. It could be any cloud provider. So Stackdriver might be the answer.

What all viable logging you would suggest in this scenario! Cloud operations suite has everything.. cloud logging helps with many thing..In my mind this question is not meant for being a perfectionist but what would mostly work while option C is an approach that we will take questions ask about tool. Hence selecting A make sense to me. Thoughts!

Review the logging requirements and use existing logging utility. is not right. You know the requirements as you have found the current logging tool will not meet the needs for the new cloud-based product. Install Google Cloud logging agent on all VMs. is the right answer. The Logging agent streams logs from common third-party applications and system software to Logging. It is a best practice to run the Logging agent on all your VM instances. The agent runs under both Linux and Windows. The Logging agent is compatible with both GCP Compute Engine instances as well as AWS EC2 instances. Google, through its partners, provides logging services for on-premise and hybrid cloud platforms consistently and predictably. Ref: https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/agent

This is wrong. This certification is meant to prepare you to be a cloud architect (focusing on GCP). This does not mean that you are going to recommend everything that has google on its name. You need to understand client requirements first.

Actually it does. A lot of questions guide you to the, in best case, fully managed GCP services. They should rename the certificate to "Professional Google Cloud Sales Person".

Selected Answer: C
C. Help them define their requirements and assess viable logging tools. This approach is strategic because it starts with understanding the specific needs of the development team, which can vary widely depending on the nature of the cloud-based product they are working on. Here’s why this is the most suitable option: Requirement Analysis: By defining the exact requirements, you ensure that the selected logging tool will have the necessary features to capture errors and analyze historical log data effectively. Tool Assessment: Once the requirements are clear, you can perform an informed assessment of available logging tools that meet these criteria, which could include Google StackDriver, other cloud-native tools, or third-party solutions. Long-term Solution: Choosing the right tool based on precise requirements is likely to offer a long-term solution rather than a temporary fix.

There is cost of IOPS , data storage and compute cost of querying of historical data , if I were an organization that decided to implement an open source solution in GCP I would incur these costs anyways plus developer cost for implementation. I would rather go with whats already there . Of course writing data to a cheaper cloud provider on regular intervals via a message Q could be another option but then again that would incur some extra network costs as well. Since they require an immediate solution I would go with A.

It is not mentioned that Team is using GCP but some cloud provider. Therefore without understanding requirements and current gaps in tooling we cannot define the solution. I feel correct answer is C

Selected Answer: C
Only reason A cannot be the answer is because of the need for Historical Log Data. The logs are captured by stackdriver agent from the point of installation and the requirement clearly says it needs historical logs. Also stackdriver retains logs for 3 months. You need another BQ based solution to retain historical logs older than 3 months. Requirements are need to be analyzed to gather answers for above. So "C" is the answer.

Another reason 'A' cannot be the answer is because of the need for "Analyzing Historical Log Data". With A you are now suggesting to install the agent now, and the agent can capture only ongoing logs but not the Historical ones. You need further requirement gathering to provide another/better solution to analyze historical data.

I've seen a lot of folks chosen C with a good argument of "requirements before solution". While I do agree with that argument. My choice would still be A. Reason being: (c.f: https://cloud.google.com/products/operations?hl=en) Note: Stackdriver was the former name, it's now Google Cloud's Operation Suite, and it works both "inside and outside" of Google Cloud. Therefore, if this new "cloud-based product" is on AWS or some other cloud provider, it would still work. Finally I saw a comment where someone said Google "will always promote their services". This is not true, especially for the Architect Exam.

I think C is correct answer, as they client has not defined any requirement yet, they are lookig for better tool for cloud which could Google's operations suit or any other tool.
