Recovery needs to recreate the working service and its required data after a machine or process is lost. Which artifacts and state need protection, and how should the restore be checked?
The same project needs to behave consistently on developer machines, in CI and after deployment. Which versions, dependencies and configuration should be recorded?
A worked Cloud Run example references an enabled Secret Manager version as an environment variable. The deployer’s account can access the secret. The service uses a dedicated runtime service account, and new instances fail around startup. Which identity and permission should be checked?
Configuration must be available to the application without exposing credentials in source control, logs or browser code. What belongs in the runtime and which access controls matter?
A failure needs to be narrowed down before settings are changed or operations retried. Which evidence best separates application errors from environment and dependency problems?
A fictional service exposes a secret through an environment variable using latest. After rotation, older instances keep working with the previous credential while newly started instances use the new one. The application team expected an immediate, simultaneous update. What deployment approach gives a more predictable result?
An upgrade needs a compatibility check, a tested release and a recovery path. Which changes deserve particular attention before the new version reaches production?
Compare suitability, operational responsibilities and limits before choosing this technology for a project. Which trade-offs should guide the decision?
A performance change should improve the measured workload without sacrificing correctness or wasting capacity. Which measurements and bottlenecks should be considered first?
