Google Associate Cloud Engineer Exam - Topic 4 Question 83 Discussion

Actual exam question for Google's Associate Cloud Engineer exam
Question #: 83
Topic #: 4
[All Associate Cloud Engineer Questions]

For analysis purposes, you need to send all the logs from all of your Compute Engine instances to a BigQuery dataset called platform-logs. You have already installed the Stackdriver Logging agent on all the instances. You want to minimize cost. What should you do?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Instance groups are collections of virtual machine (VM) instances that you can manage as a single entity. Instance groups can help you simplify the management of multiple instances, reduce operational costs, and improve the availability and performance of your applications. Instance groups support autoscaling, which automatically adds or removes instances from the group based on increases or decreases in load. Autoscaling helps your applications gracefully handle increases in traffic and reduces cost when the need for resources is lower. You can set the autoscaling policy based on CPU utilization, load balancing capacity, Cloud Monitoring metrics, or a queue-based workload. In this case, since the video encoding software is CPU-intensive, setting the autoscaling based on CPU utilization is the best option to ensure high availability and optimal performance.Reference:

Wait, can we really drop logs like that? Seems risky!

I’m a bit confused about option B. Creating a Cloud Function seems like an extra step, but I guess it could help filter the logs better?

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to set up log exports, and I feel like option C might be the most straightforward way to get Compute Engine logs into BigQuery.

I think option A sounds familiar, but I'm not entirely sure if just updating the metadata is enough to send logs to BigQuery.

The key here is to minimize cost, so I'm leaning towards Option A. Updating the instance metadata seems like the simplest and most efficient way to get the logs into BigQuery.

I'd go with Option B, it's like a three-course meal of cloud services - Pub/Sub, Cloud Functions, and BigQuery. Yum, yum! Just hope the chef doesn't overcook the logs.

Option A seems like the easiest solution, but I'm not sure it's the most cost-effective. Granting permissions and updating instance metadata sounds simple enough, but I wonder if there might be some hidden gotchas.

Hmm, Option D sounds pretty interesting. Automating the BigQuery job with a Cloud Function and Cloud Scheduler could be a clever way to handle this. Though, I'm a bit concerned about the potential for extra costs with all the moving parts.

I'm leaning towards Option C. It's a bit more straightforward, and I like the ability to create a filter to only export the Compute Engine logs. Plus, BigQuery integration is built-in, so it's a simple one-stop solution.

Option B looks like the most efficient solution to me. Using Cloud Pub/Sub and a Cloud Function to filter and insert the logs directly into BigQuery seems like a great way to automate the process and minimize costs.
