Your company is expanding its AI-powered operations nationwide and has chosen accelerator- based compute for the AI workloads. The batch image processing workloads are not time- sensitive and can tole
The correct answer is B. Deploy spot VMs with attached persistent disks and implement checkpoint mechanisms.. Spot VMs provide the lowest-cost accelerator-based compute and are appropriate because the batch workload can tolerate interruptions. Attaching persistent disks preserves data beyond the VM lifecycle, and implementing checkpointing lets jobs resume efficiently after preemption, e

Explanation
Spot VMs provide the lowest-cost accelerator-based compute and are appropriate because the batch workload can tolerate interruptions. Attaching persistent disks preserves data beyond the VM lifecycle, and implementing checkpointing lets jobs resume efficiently after preemption, enabling rapid, cost-effective scaling with durability when needed.
