Module 2: Introduction to Google Cloud Observability

• Export all machine logs to Cloud Storage and use Cloud Run functions to build reports based on the VM tags.
• Name the VMs with a prefix like “dev-”, “test-”, and “prod-” and filter on the name property when reporting.
• Add a label called “state” to your VMs with the values “dev”, “test”, and “prod” and group by that label in your monitoring chart. ✅
  
• Put those resources in different projects and use dataflow to create an aggregation of log values for each.

Explanation:
Using labels is the recommended and scalable way to organize and filter Google Cloud resources. Labels like "state=dev", "state=test", and "state=prod" let you group and compare metrics in Monitoring dashboards and reports easily. Filtering by name is not ideal because it’s less structured and harder to manage over time.
