Introduction to Learning Outcomes

Gain proficiency in Google Cloud's monitoring tools and best practices for optimizing performance, managing incidents, and reducing monitoring costs in cloud environments.

Learning Objectives and Outcomes

• Understand and utilize Google Cloud's operations components including Logging, Monitoring, Error Reporting, and Service Monitoring for enhanced observability.
• Apply Google Cloud's application performance management tools like Debugger, Trace, and Profiler to improve app performance.
• Implement the four golden signals (latency, traffic, errors, saturation) to construct a solid monitoring foundation and measure customer experience using SLIs.
• Define and use Service Level Indicators (SLIs), Service Level Objectives (SLOs), and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to manage performance expectations effectively.
• Create custom dashboards for comprehensive resource and application load monitoring and set up uptime checks to ensure service availability.
• Develop and manage alerting policies, including notification channels and alert types, to maintain system reliability.
• Perform advanced logging and analysis by defining log sinks, creating log-based metrics, and integrating Error Reporting for application error visibility.
• Audit cloud operations securely by working with various Audit Logs and implementing best practices for logging and data access.
• Integrate observability into cloud services, including VMs, Kubernetes, and VPCs, and extend monitoring capabilities using tools like Prometheus and OpenCensus.
• Manage and resolve incidents with defined roles and processes, troubleshoot performance issues, and optimize monitoring costs through best practices and resource utilization analysis.
