Answer: Select the Webhook notifications option for each alerting policy, and configure it to use a third-party integration tool. Ensure that your team members add their SMS/phone numbers to the external tool.
Stackdriver Monitoring (now part of Cloud Monitoring) does not natively support SMS notifications. Instead, you must use integrations with third-party services. Option B is correct because it leverages the built-in Webhook notification channel in Stackdriver, which can be configured to call an external SMS gateway service (e.g., Twilio or a custom integration tool). This approach is scalable and aligns with GCP best practices. Team members add their phone numbers to the external tool, decoupling configuration from Stackdriver profiles. Option A is vague and doesn't specify using Stackdriver's native Webhook option. Option C is incorrect because Stackdriver lacks an 'SMS notification option' or phone number fields in user profiles. Option D is inefficient, as it adds unnecessary layers (Slack integration) and isn't direct.
