Subtask 2.3: Configure compute systemsReliabilityChaos EngineeringAnthos Service MeshGKE

GCP PCA · Question 43 · Configure compute systems

You are implementing chaos engineering to test the resilience of a microservices application running on GKE. You want to simulate network latency and HTTP 500 errors between services without modifying the application code. Which TWO technologies should you use? (Select TWO)

Answer options:

A.

Anthos Service Mesh (Istio).

B.

Cloud Armor.

C.

Fault Injection policies.

D.

VPC Network Packet Mirroring.

E.

Cloud Profiler.

How to approach this question

Identify the technology that manages microservice communication and supports fault injection.

Full Answer

Anthos Service Mesh (Istio)., Fault Injection policies.
Anthos Service Mesh (based on Istio) deploys a sidecar proxy alongside every microservice. Because all traffic flows through these proxies, you can use the mesh's control plane to apply Fault Injection policies. You can configure the proxies to artificially introduce delays (latency) or abort requests (HTTP 500 errors) to test how resilient your application is to downstream failures, all without touching the application code.

Common mistakes

Selecting Cloud Armor, which only protects external ingress traffic, not internal east-west traffic.
