PDE Maintaining and Automating Data Workloads Practice Question

You are using Cloud Workflows to orchestrate a series of API calls. You need to handle errors and retries. Which THREE features of Cloud Workflows can you use? (Choose THREE.)

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Use try/except blocks to catch and handle errors.

Cloud Workflows supports steps with retry policies, try/except blocks for error handling, and conditional (if-else) logic for branching. It does not have built-in built-in step-level logging (logging is done via Cloud Logging), and there is no built-in load balancer integration.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✓
Use try/except blocks to catch and handle errors.
Why this is correct
Workflows supports try-except-else-finally constructs.
✗
Integrate with Cloud Load Balancing for high availability.
Why it's wrong here
Cloud Workflows does not directly integrate with load balancers; it runs serverless workflows.
✓
Use conditional branches (if-else) based on step results.
Why this is correct
Conditional logic is supported via switch or if constructs.
✓
Define a retry policy on a step.
Why this is correct
Workflows allows specifying retry count and timeouts for steps.
✗
Enable automatic logging for each step.
Why it's wrong here
Logging is not automatic per step; you must configure Cloud Logging.
