You have migrated an e-commerce application to Google Cloud Platform (GCP). You want to prepare the application for the upcoming busy season. What should you do first to prepare for the busy season?
A. Load teat the application to profile its performance for scaling.
B. Enable AutoScaling on the production clusters, in case there is growth.
C. Pre-provision double the compute power used last season, expecting growth.
D. Create a runbook on inflating the disaster recovery (DR) environment if there is growth.

This is a practice question. There is no guarantee of coming this question in the certification exam.
Answer
A
Explanation
A. Load teat the application to profile its performance for scaling.
(https://cloud.google.com/architecture/black-friday-production-readiness#preparation_stage
The objective of the preparation stage is to test the system’s ability to scale for peak user traffic and to document the results. Completing the preparation stage results in architecture refinement to handle peak traffic more efficiently and increase system reliability. This stage also yields procedures for operations and support that help streamline processes for handling the peak event and any issues that might occur. Consider this stage as practice for the peak event from a system and operations perspective.
A is exactly what was mentioned above.
B is the step after the preparation stage.)
B. Enable AutoScaling on the production clusters, in case there is growth.
C. Pre-provision double the compute power used last season, expecting growth.
D. Create a runbook on inflating the disaster recovery (DR) environment if there is growth.
