I have 7-8 different microservices running on google cloud. I'm planning to do API monitoring and I've been asked to use google's stackdriver trace for it.
However it turns out, you cannot use stackdriver trace for an existing cluster. So, I approached my higher ups and they asked me to migrate to a new cluster with all the required permissions provisioned.
My argument is, it is not really worth to migrate from a perfectly working cluster to a new one. I proposed a different method for API monitoring. The proposed method doesn't nudge my existing micro-services, however requires a bit more effort. (Like, setting up elastic search and kibana).
Also, I would have to modify some parts of my CD pipeline, made using google's cloud build, if I were to migrate to a new cluster.
So, I'm looking for opinions about what a good approach could be in my case.
