An e-commerce platform running on Google Cloud experienced an unexpected latency spike and intermittent 500 error responses between 14:00 and 14:45 UTC. The architecture consists of a fleet of Compute Engine instances serving front-end traffic and a backend Cloud SQL instance handling transactional queries.
You are using the Gemini Cloud Assist panel in the Google Cloud console to perform an investigation across both resource tiers. Which natural language prompt is most effective for directing Gemini Cloud Assist to correlate time-series metrics and generate actionable root-cause hypotheses for the incident?
Show me a list of all databases running PostgreSQL in the region and identify how many BigQuery datasets have an inventory label.
Why did my application experience high latency today, and what are the detailed billing and cost implications of the traffic spike across my project?
Correlate the CPU utilization and network bytes sent on the front-end Compute Engine instances with the CPU utilization, QPS, and query latency on the Cloud SQL instance between 14:00 and 14:45 UTC, identify any anomalous metric patterns, and hypothesize potential root causes for the latency spike.
Provide a Terraform configuration script to double the machine type of the Compute Engine instances and upgrade the Cloud SQL database to resolve the performance degradation.
