You want to host your video encoding software on Compute Engine. Your user base is growing rapidly, and users need to be able to encode their videos at any time without interruption or CPU limitations

The correct answer is D. Deploy your solution to an instance group, and set the autoscaling based on CPU utilization.. You can create a managed instance group with autoscaling enabled based on CPU utilization. This way appropriate number of instances can be added or removed based on the CPU metrics. https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instance-groups/create-mig-with-basic-autoscaling https://cl
