Your security team needs to audit all actions performed by administrators on your Google Cloud project, including changes to IAM policies and the creation of new resources. They want to view these logs in the Cloud Logging console and also retain them for 3 years for compliance. You need to ensure the audit logs are enabled and accessible. What should you do?

Enable Data Access audit logs for all services and set the retention period to 3 years in the Logs Bucket configuration.

Enable Admin Activity audit logs and configure a custom log sink to a Cloud Storage bucket with a 3-year retention policy.

Create a log-based metric for admin actions and use it to trigger alerts for compliance monitoring.

Enable System Event audit logs and export them to BigQuery for analysis and long-term storage.

Your organization runs a microservices application on GKE with Anthos Service Mesh (ASM) enabled. You need to monitor traffic between services, including request latency, error rates, and traffic volume, and you want to view these metrics in Cloud Monitoring. What should you do?

Configure VPC Flow Logs to capture service-to-service traffic metrics.

Create custom metrics using the Cloud Monitoring API for each service.

Enable ASM telemetry and view the pre-defined service metrics in the Cloud Monitoring Metrics Explorer.

Deploy the Ops Agent to each pod as a sidecar to collect service metrics.
