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.

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".

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!

The Stackderiver agent currently known as Ops agent is the primary agent for collecting telemetry from your Compute Engine instances. It needs to be installed on GCP services such as GCE instances in order to collect logs from those instances and send them to cloud logging and monitoring. https://cloud.google.com/stackdriver/docs/solutions/agents/ops-agent/installation.

Selected Answer: C
Correct Answer: C. Help them define their requirements and assess viable logging tools. Explanation: - Before selecting a logging tool, it's critical to understand the team's specific needs, including error tracking, historical log analysis, scalability, and integration with their cloud-based product. - Assessing viable tools ensures they choose a solution that meets their technical and business requirements rather than just installing a predefined option. - This approach avoids unnecessary upgrades and ensures they adopt a tool that fits their workflow and future growth.

You are writing an Architect exam, not a Business requirement (Product Manager) exam or a Software Consultant or Security Consultant to upgrade their tool. So as a GCP architect, only A is correct, rest all are not applicable.
