Practice Test 2 | Google Cloud Certified Professional Cloud Architect | Dumps | Mock Test
Your organization requires that metrics from all applications be retained for 5 years for future analysis in possible legal proceedings. Which approach should you use?
A. Configure Operations Suite (formerly Stackdriver) Monitoring for all Projects, and export to BigQuery.
B. Configure Operations Suite (formerly Stackdriver) Monitoring for all Projects with the default retention policies.
C. Configure Operations Suite (formerly Stackdriver) Monitoring for all Projects, and export to Google Cloud Storage.
D. Grant the security team access to the logs in each Project.
Correct Answer C
Explanation
B and D can be quickly ruled out because none of them is solution for the requirements “retained for 5 years”
Between A and C, the different is where to store, BigQuery or Cloud Storage. Since the main concern is extended storing period, C (Correct Answer) is better choice, and the “retained for 5 years for future analysis” further qualifies it, for example, using Archive storage class.
With regards of BigQuery, while it is also a low-cost storage, but the main purpose is for analysis. Also, logs stored in Cloud Storage is easy to transport to BigQuery or do query directly against the files saved in Cloud Storage if and whenever needed.
