GCP Professional Cloud Architect Practice Question

Your company operates a business-critical e-commerce platform consisting of over 60 containerised microservices running on two regional GKE clusters behind a global HTTP(S) Load Balancer. After a defect in the inventory service triggered a cascading failure during peak traffic, leadership asks how to prove the platform can survive similar issues before the holiday season. Redundancy, health checks, circuit breakers, and autoscaling are already in place. Which additional action best addresses this request, and why?

  • Add 50 % more node capacity to each GKE cluster so unexpected load spikes are less likely to exhaust resources and cascade across services.

  • Enable Cloud Armor adaptive protection on the load balancer to block anomalous traffic, removing the need to test internal service failures.

  • Switch from rolling updates to blue/green deployments so only fully validated releases reach production, eliminating the requirement for fault-injection testing.

  • Schedule recurring chaos experiments in production that randomly terminate pods and inject latency while you monitor SLO dashboards to confirm the platform absorbs the faults without breaching error budgets.
