Data Science Model Deployments and Cloud Computing on GCP - Lab Assignment - Set Up Alerting for Cloud Function Applicat

The video tutorial guides students through creating an alerting policy for a Google Cloud Function. It involves deploying a cloud function that triggers on file uploads to a Google Cloud Storage bucket and setting up an alert to notify via email when instances exceed a set number. The tutorial also includes testing the function using a Python script to simulate load and ensure scaling.

What triggers the cloud function in the assignment?

• A scheduled time event

• A file upload to a Google Cloud Storage bucket

• A file deletion from a Google Cloud Storage bucket

• A change in the bucket's metadata

What is the purpose of the 'Max instance' parameter in cloud function deployment?

• To set the minimum number of instances

• To define the instance region

• To limit the maximum number of instances

• To specify the instance type

At what instance count should the alert notify you according to the assignment?

• When instances exceed 10

• When instances exceed 8

• When instances exceed 5 or 6

• When instances exceed 3

What is the primary function of the Python script mentioned in the tutorial?

• To delete files from the bucket

• To upload files to the bucket at regular intervals

• To modify the cloud function code

• To monitor the cloud function's performance

What must be configured before running the Python script locally?

• The cloud function's memory allocation

• The bucket's access permissions

• The credentials file path

• The cloud function's source code
