[All Professional Cloud Architect Questions]

Your operations team has asked you to help diagnose a performance issue in a production application that runs on Compute Engine. The application is dropping requests that reach it when under heavy load. The process list for affected instances shows a single application process that is consuming all available CPU, and autoscaling has reached the upper limit of instances. There is no abnormal load on any other related systems, including the database. You want to allow production traffic to be served again as quickly as possible. Which action should you recommend?

Wait, why not just restart the instances instead? Sounds easier!

Autoscaling metric change won't help if CPU is the issue.

Restarting the app process seems risky, what if it doesn't fix it?

I’m leaning towards option C, but I’m not completely confident. I recall that sometimes just restarting the app can clear up performance issues quickly.

I practiced a similar question where we had to decide between restarting instances or changing autoscaling metrics. I feel like restarting might be too slow for production.

I think increasing the maximum number of instances could help, but I wonder if that would really solve the underlying issue with the application itself.

I remember studying how to handle CPU bottlenecks, but I'm not sure if restarting the application process is the best immediate solution.

This looks like a straightforward question about file formats. I'll need to think through which of these formats would require pre-processing or parsing after import into Marketing Cloud.

I'm not quite sure about the terms here. Does "risk unwittingly assumed" mean we're just looking at the depreciation value?
