Google Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer Exam - Topic 1 Question 85 Discussion

Actual exam question for Google's Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer exam
Question #: 85
Topic #: 1
[All Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer Questions]

Your CTO has asked you to implement a postmortem policy on every incident for internal use. You want to define what a good postmortem is to ensure that the policy is successful at your company. What should you do?

Choose 2 answers

A. Ensure that all postmortems include what caused the incident, identify the person or team responsible for causing the incident. and how to prevent a future occurrence of the incident.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, E

The correct answers are B and E

A good postmortem should include what caused the incident, how the incident could have been worse, and how to prevent a future occurrence of the incident1. This helps to identify the root cause of the problem, the impact of the incident, and the actions to take to mitigate or eliminate the risk of recurrence.

A good postmortem should also include all incident participants in postmortem authoring and share postmortems as widely as possible2. This helps to foster a culture of learning and collaboration, as well as to increase the visibility and accountability of the incident response process.

Answer A is incorrect because it assigns blame to a person or team, which goes against the principle of blameless postmortems2. Blameless postmortems focus on finding solutions rather than pointing fingers, and encourage honest and constructive feedback without fear of punishment.

Answer C is incorrect because it omits how the incident could have been worse, which is an important factor to consider when evaluating the severity and impact of the incident1. It also avoids naming internal system components, which makes it harder to understand the technical details and root cause of the problem.

Answer D is incorrect because it omits how to prevent a future occurrence of the incident, which is the main goal of a postmortem1. It also avoids naming customer information, which may be relevant for understanding the impact and scope of the incident.

I feel like involving all incident participants in the postmortem is crucial for a comprehensive review. Option E seems like a strong choice, but I’m not sure about the second option to pair it with.

I think I saw a practice question that mentioned including the severity of the incident. So, maybe option C could be a good choice too, but I'm not completely confident.

I remember we discussed that a good postmortem should definitely include what caused the incident and how to prevent it in the future. So, I think options A and B might be right.

This is a tricky one. I want to make sure the postmortems are comprehensive, but also sensitive and constructive. I think the key is to emphasize process improvements and systemic changes, rather than individual accountability.

I've got a few ideas here. First, I'd focus on the root causes and learnings, not just the immediate triggers. Second, I'd make sure to include steps to prevent future incidents, but without calling out specific people or systems. And third, I'd consider involving the whole team in the postmortem process.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. I'd want to make sure the postmortems cover what happened, how it could have been prevented, and how to avoid similar issues in the future. But I also don't want to place blame or reveal sensitive information.

Hmm, this is an interesting one. I think the key is to strike the right balance between being thorough and not being overly punitive. We want to identify the root causes, but not single out individuals.

I'm not sure about naming the person or team responsible. That could create a blame culture, which is the opposite of what we want. Maybe we could focus more on the systemic issues that led to the incident.
