QuestionQ141

Ensuring solution and operations excellence

The operations manager requests a list of recommended practices she should consider while migrating a J2EE application to the cloud.

Which three practices should you recommend?

Choose three
  • A Port the application code to run on Google App Engine
  • B Integrate Cloud Dataflow into the application to capture real-time metrics
  • C Instrument the application with a monitoring tool like Stackdriver Debugger
  • D Select an automation framework to reliably provision the cloud infrastructure
  • E Deploy a continuous integration tool with automated testing in a staging environment
  • F Migrate from MySQL to a managed NoSQL database like Google Cloud Datastore or Bigtable
Explanation

Cloud migrations benefit from application observability, repeatable infrastructure automation, and automated validation before release. Instrumentation and debugging/monitoring help diagnose workload behavior; infrastructure automation improves consistency and reliability; and CI with automated tests in a staging environment detects functional and integration issues before production deployment. A specific App Engine port or a MySQL-to-NoSQL redesign is not inherently required, and Cloud Dataflow is not the standard mechanism for collecting application metrics.
