Topics of Google Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer Exam

Candidates must know the exam topics before they start preparation because it will help them in hitting the core. Our Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer Dumps will include the following topics:

Applying site reliability engineering principles to a service

• Discover SLIs (availability, latency, etc.)
• 1.2 Manage service life cycle:
• Construct feedback loops to decide what to build next
• Balance change, velocity, and reliability of the service:
• Define SLOs and understand SLAs
• Toil automation
• Manage a service (e.g., introduce a new service, deploy it, maintain and retire it)
• Agree to consequences of not meeting the error budget

Building and implementing CI/CD pipelines for a service

• Deployment strategies with Cloud Build, Spinnaker
• CI/CD pipeline triggers with Cloud Source Repositories, Cloud Build GitHub App, Cloud Pub/Sub
• Immutable artifacts with Container Registry
• Deployment to hybrid and multi-cloud environments with Anthos, Spinnaker, Kubernetes
• Testing a new version with Spinnaker
• Artifact versioning strategy with Cloud Build, Container Registry
• Configure deployment processes (e.g., approval flows)
• Artifact repositories with Container Registry
• Design CI/CD pipelines:

Implementing service monitoring strategies

• Sending logs to an external logging platform
• Collecting third-party and structured logs with Stackdriver Logging, Fluentd
• Enabling data access logs (e.g., Cloud Audit Logs)
• Implementing logs-based metrics
• Collecting logs from Compute Engine, GKE with Stackdriver Logging, Fluentd
• Use metric explorer for ad hoc metric analysis
• Manage application logs:
• Implementing a project-level / org-level export
• Selecting the options for logging export
• Understanding the logging exclusion vs. logging export
• Collecting GKE/Kubernetes metrics
• Using basic vs. advanced logging filters
• Set ACL to allow metric writing for custom metrics with IAM, Stackdriver Monitoring
• Viewing export logs in Cloud Storage and BigQuery
• Viewing logs in the GCP Console
• Enabling VPC flow logs
• Collecting metrics from Compute Engine
• Sending application logs directly to Stackdriver API with Stackdriver Logging
• Set ACL to restrict access to audit logs with IAM, Stackdriver Logging
• Set ACL to restrict export configuration with IAM, Stackdriver Logging

Optimizing service performance

• Consider network pricing
• Identify service performance issues:
• TCO considerations
• Interpret service mesh telemetry
• Utilize Stackdriver Trace/Profiler to profile performance characteristics
• Evaluate and understand user impact (Stackdriver Service Monitoring for App Engine, Istio)
• Work with committed-use discounts
• identify resource costs
• Manage preemptible VMs
• Troubleshoot issues with the image/OS
• Identify resource utilization levels
• Utilize Stackdriver to identify cloud resource utilization
• Develop a plan to optimize areas of greatest cost or lowest utilization
• Troubleshoot network issues (e.g., VPC flow logs, firewall logs, latency, view network details)

Managing service incidents

• Manage stakeholder relationships
• Define roles (incident commander, communication lead, operations lead)
• Rotate/hand over roles
• Perform an investigation to isolate the most likely actual cause
• Provide regular status updates, internal and external
• Record major changes in incident state (When mitigated? When all clear? etc.)
• Identify probable causes of service failure
• Scaling response team and delegation
• Coordinate roles and implement communication channels during a service incident:
• Avoid exhaustion/burnout
• Evaluate symptoms against probable causes; the rank probability of cause based on observed behavior
• Establish communications channels (email, IRC, Hangouts, Slack, phone, etc.)
• Identify alternatives to mitigate the issue
• Handle requests for impact assessment
