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

Why do you think they are using VM on GCE?

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.

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.

Ops agent can be deployed only with GCE instances, and not with VMs deployed in AWS/ Azure or On-premise. Question talks about "new cloud-based product", without revealing the cloud it uses. So C makes sense. For GCP based workloads, Cloud logging will make more sense.

Selected Answer: C
Option C is the best approach. Helping the team define their requirements and assess viable logging tools ensures they find a solution that truly meets their needs. This involves understanding their specific requirements, such as: The types of errors they need to capture The volume of log data they expect Integration with their existing systems Ease of use and setup Cost considerations Once these requirements are clear, you can evaluate different logging tools like ELK Stack, Splunk, or Datadog to see which one aligns best with their needs. This tailored approach is more likely to result in a successful implementation compared to simply upgrading their current tool or directing them to a specific product without understanding their needs.

A should be the answer, assuming the cloud based product is hosted in Google Cloud. The architect has to recommend a GCP Solution, not an external one which create Network & Security overheads

Selected Answer: C
Answer is C. Here's why: Understanding Needs: Jumping straight to a solution (like Stackdriver) might not be the best fit. It's crucial to first understand the team's specific logging requirements for their cloud-based product. This includes: 1. What kinds of events need to be logged (errors, warnings, information, debug)? 2. How much logging data do they anticipate generating? 3. How long do they need to store logs? 4. What kind of analysis do they want to perform on their log data? 5. Does the logging tool need to integrate with other systems (monitoring, alerting, etc.)? 6. Are there any cost constraints?
