Your company is planning a large marketing event for an online retailer during the holiday shopping season. You are expecting your web application to receive a large volume of traffic in a short period. You need to prepare your application for potential failures during the event. What should you do? (Choose two.)
A. Configure Anthos Service Mesh on the application to identify issues on the topology map.
B. Ensure that relevant system metrics are being captured with Cloud Monitoring, and create alerts at levels of interest.
C. Review your increased capacity requirements and plan for the required quota management.
D. Monitor latency of your services for average percentile latency.
E. Create alerts in Cloud Monitoring for all common failures that your application experiences.

Answer
B, C
Explanation
A. Configure Anthos Service Mesh on the application to identify issues on the topology map.
(While Anthos Service Mesh can provide valuable insights into service interactions, it’s not directly related to preparing for potential failures during high-traffic events. Also, it’s not mentioned which tool we are using, so anthos might not even be used.)
B. Ensure that relevant system metrics are being captured with Cloud Monitoring, and create alerts at levels of interest.
(Monitoring system metrics and setting up alerts can help you detect and respond to issues quickly, minimizing potential downtime during periods of high traffic.)
C. Review your increased capacity requirements and plan for the required quota management.
(Reviewing your capacity requirements and planning for quota management ensures that your application has the necessary resources to handle the expected increase in traffic.)
D. Monitor latency of your services for average percentile latency.
(While monitoring latency is important for understanding service performance, it doesn’t directly help prepare for potential failures during high-traffic events.)
E. Create alerts in Cloud Monitoring for all common failures that your application experiences.
(Creating alerts for all common failures could result in alert fatigue.)
