According to Google Cloud Platform's Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) best practices, which of the following strategies is not recommended to prevent system overload?
Explanation:
Options A (Load Shedding), B (Implement Retries), and D (Implement queue management) are incorrect because they are recommended strategies for managing requests during peak periods to mitigate or prevent cascading failures. Option C (Implement cross-layer communication) is correct as it is not recommended due to the risk of introducing a distributed deadlock within the system.
