When you intially click on Monitoring(Stackdriver Monitoring) it creates a workspac(a stackdriver account) linked to the ACTIVE(CURRENT) Project from which it was clicked.

Now if you change the project and again click onto Monitoring it would create an another workspace(a stackdriver account) linked to the changed ACTIVE(CURRENT) Project, we don't want this as this would not consolidate our result into a single dashboard(workspace/stackdriver account).

If you have accidently created two diff workspaces merge them under Monitoring > Settings > Merge Workspaces > MERGE.

If we have only one workspace and two projects we can simply add other GCP Project under

Monitoring > Settings > GCP Projects > Add GCP Projects.

GKE Containers have more log than GKE Cluster Operations:

-GKE Containe:

cluster_name: An immutable name for the cluster the container is running in.

namespace_id: Immutable ID of the cluster namespace the container is running in.

instance_id: Immutable ID of the GCE instance the container is running in.

pod_id: Immutable ID of the pod the container is running in.

container_name: Immutable name of the container.

zone: The GCE zone in which the instance is running.

-GKE Cluster Operations

project_id: The identifier of the GCP project associated with this resource, such as "my-project".

cluster_name: The name of the GKE Cluster.

location: The location in which the GKE Cluster is running.

Autoscaling works independently from autohealing. If you configure autohealing for your group and an instance fails the health check, the autohealer attempts to recreate the instance. Recreating an instance can cause the number of instances in the group to fall below the autoscaling threshold (minNumReplicas) that you specify.

Since we need the application running at all times, we need a minimum 1 instance.

Only a single instance of the VM should run, we need a maximum 1 instance.

We want the application running at all times. If the VM crashes due to any underlying hardware failure, we want another instance to be added to MIG so that application can continue to serve requests. We can achieve this by enabling autoscaling. The only option that satisfies these three is Set autoscaling to On, set the minimum number of instances to 1, and then set the maximum number of instances to 1.
