GCP Professional Cloud Architect Practice Question
Your SRE team currently follows wiki-based runbooks for failover and cache-flush tasks that must be executed within five minutes during incidents. Leadership asks why you propose to rewrite these runbooks as Cloud Functions invoked by Cloud Monitoring alerting policies. Which primary benefit, aligned with the operational excellence pillar, best supports your proposal?
It reduces MTTR by executing consistent, low-latency remediation steps automatically and frees engineers from repetitive manual toil.
It eliminates the need for security patching because Cloud Functions are fully managed and therefore always patched for you.
It guarantees zero downtime during a regional outage by autonomously migrating all stateful data across regions.
It allows the team to skip formal change-management approvals because automated actions are classified as non-production changes.
The operational excellence pillar recommends defining operational procedures in code and automating them wherever feasible. Converting manual runbooks into event-driven Cloud Functions removes repetitive toil, eliminates human error, and allows incidents to be remediated immediately when an alert fires, thereby reducing mean time to recovery (MTTR). Automated code does not in itself guarantee regional failover, waive security patching responsibilities, or bypass governance processes, so those justifications are weak or incorrect.
