To develop procedures to test a disaster plan for a mission-critical application, we should follow Google-recommended practices and use native capabilities within GCP. Two of the key components that can help us achieve this goal are Deployment Manager and Stackdriver.
Deployment Manager is a tool that enables us to define our infrastructure as code, making it easier to manage and automate the deployment and testing of our applications. With Deployment Manager, we can create templates that describe our GCP resources and services, and then use those templates to automate the creation and deletion of those resources. This allows us to quickly provision and deprovision the resources we need for our disaster recovery testing.
Stackdriver, on the other hand, is a monitoring, logging, and diagnostics tool that helps us identify and troubleshoot issues in our application and infrastructure. With Stackdriver, we can set up alerts, view logs, and analyze performance metrics to gain visibility into the health and performance of our systems. During our disaster recovery testing, we can use Stackdriver to monitor and debug our tests, ensuring that everything is running smoothly.
With these tools in mind, we can eliminate options C and D from consideration since gcloud scripts do not offer the same level of automation and management capabilities as Deployment Manager. Instead, we should focus on options A and B, which both recommend using Deployment Manager to automate service provisioning. However, the correct answer is B, which recommends using Stackdriver to monitor and debug our tests.
While Activity Logs can provide useful information about the operations performed on our GCP resources, they do not offer the same level of monitoring and debugging capabilities as Stackdriver. By using Stackdriver, we can get real-time insights into the health and performance of our systems, making it easier to identify and troubleshoot issues during our disaster recovery testing.
