Inspecting Cloud Logging Admin Activity Audit Logs
Any working computer system consists of a vast number of individual resources that are utilized each and every day. With Google Cloud, the Audit Logs keep track of the creation and deletion of these resources. IT professionals know that logs are their very best friend when it comes time to track down errors, misalignments, overcharges, and a host of other issues. In this hands-on lab, we’ll set up a couple of networks with associated subnets as well as a few Compute Engine instances, then use Cloud Logging to review the record of the installation. We will also make a significant change and note the logs' response.
