CLOUD-DIGITAL-LEADER Question #275: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is A: Deploy the application on Compute Engine using preemptible instances. Preemptible VMs are highly affordable, short-lived compute instances suitable for batch jobs and fault-tolerant workloads. Preemptible VMs offer the same machine types and options as regular compute instances and last for up to 24 hours.

Optimizing Google Cloud Resource Utilization and Cost Management

Question

You are a program manager within a Software as a Service (SaaS) company that offers rendering software for animation studios. Your team needs the ability to allow scenes to be scheduled at will and to be interrupted at any time to restart later. Any individual scene rendering takes less than 12 hours to complete, and there is no service-level agreement (SLA) for the completion time for all scenes. Results will be stored in a global Cloud Storage bucket. The compute resources are not bound to any single geographical location. This software needs to run on Google Cloud in a cost-optimized way. What should you do?

Options

  • ADeploy the application on Compute Engine using preemptible instances
  • BDevelop the application so it can run in an unmanaged instance group
  • CCreate a reservation for the minimum number of Compute Engine instances you will use
  • DStart more instances with fewer virtual centralized processing units (vCPUs) instead of fewer

Explanation

Preemptible VMs are highly affordable, short-lived compute instances suitable for batch jobs and fault-tolerant workloads. Preemptible VMs offer the same machine types and options as regular compute instances and last for up to 24 hours.
