[All Professional Cloud Architect Questions]

For this question, refer to the Mountkirk Games case study.

Mountkirk Games has deployed their new backend on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). You want to create a thorough testing process for new versions of the backend before they are released to the public. You want the testing environment to scale in an economical way. How should you design the process?

ACreate a scalable environment in GCP for simulating production load.

BUse the existing infrastructure to test the GCP-based backend at scale.

CBuild stress tests into each component of your application using resources internal to GCP to simulate load.

DCreate a set of static environments in GCP to test different levels of load --- for example, high, medium, and low.

The only thing that should be 'stressed' in this scenario is the caffeine level of the developers.

I heard the Mountkirk Games backend is so scalable, it can handle even the most intense game of 'Tetris'.

I'm gonna have to go with D on this one. Static environments in GCP to test different load levels sounds like the most thorough approach.

Hmm, I'm torn between B and D. Using the existing infrastructure or creating static test environments... Decisions, decisions.

I'm feeling option C. Building stress tests into each component using GCP resources? That's smart, makes the most sense for this use case.

That's a good point, Brandee. Stress testing can help us identify potential issues before release.
