Resilience Procedures — GCP PCA Practice Question 30

How to approach this question

Understand the core SRE concept of Error Budgets and the consequences of exhausting them.

Full Answer

C.Halt all new feature deployments and redirect engineering effort toward improving system reliability until the error budget recovers.✓ Correct

An error budget is the acceptable level of unreliability a system can have (e.g., if SLO is 99.9%, the error budget is 0.1%). It aligns dev and ops teams. When the error budget is exhausted, the agreed-upon policy in SRE is to freeze new feature releases and pivot all engineering efforts to reliability tasks (paying down technical debt) until the budget resets.

Common mistakes

Choosing Canary Release (Option D). Even safe deployments introduce change, and change introduces risk. When the budget is gone, risk must be minimized to zero.
