Correct answer: VPC Flow Logs showing accept/drop and bytes per flow., VPC firewall rule logs (Cloud Logging) showing rule matches and denies..
Why this is the answer
VPC Flow Logs provide crucial details on network traffic, including accepted or denied connections and byte counts, directly indicating if traffic was dropped and how much. VPC firewall rule logs in Cloud Logging show which firewall rules were hit and if they denied traffic, directly revealing policy-based blocks. Together, these logs offer a comprehensive view of traffic flow and policy enforcement during the outage. Packet Mirroring is too resource-intensive and generates excessive data for initial troubleshooting of a broad outage. Cloud Monitoring uptime checks only confirm service availability, not the underlying network or policy reasons for traffic disruption.
