Exercise 1: Matching Investigation Actions to Their Source Chapter — Possible Solution ==================================================================== (a) Checking metrics before opening logs. -> CHAPTER 4 (Reading Logs & Metrics Under Pressure). Specifically the "First 5 Minutes of an Incident" material -- establishing scope (what changed, when, how widespread) via metrics BEFORE diving into log detail, which is exactly Step 2 of this chapter's own worked scenario. (b) Using a request ID to trace across services. -> CHAPTER 4 as well -- the correlation-ID technique specifically, used in this chapter's own Step 4 to trace a failing request from the load balancer through the application servers to the database, filtering each service's logs down to just the relevant entries. (c) Confirming this wasn't a provider-side issue via the health dashboard. -> CHAPTER 8 (Working With Cloud Provider Support). Specifically the account-specific health dashboard material -- checking it early (per Chapter 8's own tip-box) to distinguish a genuinely provider-side "of the cloud" issue (Chapter 1's shared responsibility model) from a customer-side one, which is exactly what this chapter's own Step 10 does. WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER ------------------------------ Each action is matched to its specific originating chapter, and two of the three ((a) and (b)) both come from Chapter 4 despite being different techniques within it -- correctly recognizing that a single chapter can contribute more than one distinct tool to a single investigation, which is exactly what this capstone's own numbered steps demonstrate happening in practice.
