Google Exam Professional Cloud Architect Topic 2 Question 97 Discussion

Actual exam question for Google's Professional Cloud Architect exam
Question #: 97
Topic #: 2
[All Professional Cloud Architect Questions]

Your company has an application that is running on multiple instances of Compute Engine. It generates 1 TB per day of logs. For compliance reasons, the logs need to be kept for at least two years. The logs need to be available for active query for 30 days. After that, they just need to be retained for audit purposes. You want to implement a storage solution that is compliant, minimizes costs, and follows Google-recommended practices. What should you do?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The practice for managing logs generated on Compute Engine on Google Cloud is to install the Cloud Logging agent and send them to Cloud Logging.

The sent logs will be aggregated into a Cloud Logging sink and exported to Cloud Storage.

The reason for using Cloud Storage as the destination for the logs is that the requirement in question requires setting up a lifecycle based on the storage period.

In this case, the log will be used for active queries for 30 days after it is saved, but after that, it needs to be stored for a longer period of time for auditing purposes.

If the data is to be used for active queries, we can use BigQuery's Cloud Storage data query feature and move the data past 30 days to Coldline to build a cost-optimal solution.

Therefore, the correct answer is as follows

1. Install the Cloud Logging agent on all instances.

Create a sync that exports the logs to the region's Cloud Storage bucket.

3. Create an Object Lifecycle rule to move the files to the Coldline Cloud Storage bucket after one month. 4.

4. set up a bucket-level retention policy using bucket locking.'

I'm just hoping this exam doesn't turn into a 'log'-jam of questions. Get it? Log-jam? Oh, never mind...

Option B all the way! It's like playing a game of 'Log Tetris' - gotta keep those blocks (er, files) organized and cost-efficient.

Option C is a no-go. Running a daily cron job on all instances to upload logs? That's just asking for trouble. Let's stick to the Google-recommended practices.

Option D seems a bit convoluted. Why not just use the Cloud Ops agent to export logs directly to a Cloud Storage bucket? That's the easiest way to go.
