GCP Professional Cloud Architect Practice Question
Your company runs several microservices on GKE behind an internal HTTP load balancer. Users report intermittent latency spikes during checkout. As part of the root-cause analysis, engineers want to visualize end-to-end request traces and, from any slow span, open the exact log entries that were written by the implicated service instance without additional code changes. Which pair of Google Cloud services will best satisfy this requirement?
Cloud Trace automatically captures distributed traces and, when the Trace/Logging integration is enabled, each log entry written through Cloud Logging contains the trace identifier. The Cloud Trace console adds a Logs panel that lets engineers jump directly from a selected span to the correlated log lines, streamlining root-cause analysis of latency issues. Cloud Monitoring with Cloud Storage only offers metrics and raw log storage without per-span correlation, Cloud Debugger with Cloud Spanner Query Insights targets live debugging and database performance rather than trace-log linkage, and Cloud Profiler with Pub/Sub dead-letter logging provides performance profiling and message failure handling but no automatic association between traces and logs.
