Q: 1
Your ecommerce application connecting to your Cloud SQL for SQL Server is expected to have
additional traffic due to the holiday weekend. You want to follow Google-recommended practices to
set up alerts for CPU and memory metrics so you can be notified by text message at the first sign of
potential issues. What should you do?

Makes sense to pick D here. Cloud Monitoring lets you set alert policies on CPU and memory no code required, and SMS can be configured as a notification channel. A is way more complex than needed. Pretty sure D is Google's best practice, but open to other opinions.
I don't think B is right here. D is the only option that natively supports alerting for CPU and memory with SMS through Cloud Monitoring. Error Reporting doesn't do general metric monitoring, it's more for logs/exceptions. Anyone see a reason you'd use B?
C vs D but I think D has it. Cloud Monitoring lets you set up alerts on CPU/memory and add SMS with like two clicks, no extra scripts or workarounds. C is more for custom stuff. Not 100% though, anyone got different take?
C or D? I picked C since Pub/Sub could send messages and you can process them for SMS, so it seems flexible if you want integration. But not totally sure since Cloud Monitoring is more direct for alerts. Did anyone go with C here?
Yeah, D is the move. Cloud Monitoring does the alerting and you can add SMS directly as a notification channel, no need to build anything extra. Pretty sure that's how Google wants it set up, correct me if I'm missing something.
Totally agree with D, Cloud Monitoring has built-in SMS alerts. No custom code needed here. D
Option C the question is really clear about notification methods.
Be respectful. No spam.
