ASSOCIATE-CLOUD-ENGINEER Question #62: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A cloud engineer wants to create a VM named whiz-server-1 with four CPUs. Which of the following commands would he use to create the VM whiz-server-1?

Options

• Agcloud compute instances create --machine-type=n1-standard-4 whiz-server-1
• Bgcloud compute instances create --cpus=4 whiz-server-1
• Cgcloud compute instances create --machine-type=n1-standard-4 -instancename whiz-server-1
• Dgcloud compute instances create --machine-type=n1-4-cpu whiz-server-1

Explanation

This question asks for the correct gcloud command to create a new VM instance with a specific number of CPUs.

Common mistakes.

• B. The --cpus flag is not a valid option for gcloud compute instances create; CPU count is specified as part of the machine type.
• C. The -instancename flag is not a valid or standard flag for specifying the instance name; the instance name is typically provided as a positional argument.
• D. n1-4-cpu is not a valid machine type name; machine types follow patterns like n1-standard-4 or e2-medium.
