GCP Professional Cloud Architect Practice Question

Your team operates a multi-region e-commerce API on Google Cloud Load Balancing that fronts Cloud Run services. The business promises customers 99.9 % monthly availability, expressed as a service-level objective (SLO). On-call engineers complain that the current metric-threshold alert fires far too late during traffic spikes and produces false positives when request volume is low. You need to replace it with a single Cloud Monitoring alerting policy that detects real incidents quickly while remaining quiet during low-traffic periods-without requiring manual tuning as traffic changes. Which alert configuration best satisfies these requirements?

  • Configure an uptime-check policy that alerts if calculated availability drops below 99.9 % over a rolling 30-day window.

  • Create an SLO-based alerting policy that triggers when the error-budget burn rate exceeds 2 % over 1 hour OR 5 % over 6 hours for the 99.9 % availability SLO.

  • Send an alert whenever the load balancer records any 5xx responses during a one-minute alignment period.

  • Define a metric-threshold policy that fires when the backend service's 5xx ratio exceeds 0.1 % for five consecutive minutes.
