Exam Associate Cloud Engineer topic 1 question 16 discussion

I'll take a simple and logical approach for answering this. Let's first break down the question into key requirements - 1. automatically scale the application based on underlying infrastructure CPU usage. 2. use virtual machines directly. A. Not feasible because VMs are not used directly here. B. This is the correct answer. C. Time of Day... Easy elimination because this does not scale on CPU usage and time of day is mentioned NOWHERE. D. Third Party Tools.... Nobody would use GCP if they needed third party tools to do something as simple as scaling based on CPU usage. all popular cloud providers have native solutions for this including GCP.

correct is B as you have to use VM instances directly.

A managed instance group (MIG) with autoscaling is the most operationally efficient way to scale virtual machine instances directly based on CPU usage. The instance template defines the VM configuration, and the autoscaling feature ensures that the application scales quickly and efficiently based on resource utilization, meeting the organization's requirements. Kubernetes and third-party tools are unnecessary for this scenario, and scaling based on time is less dynamic and not tied to actual usage.

The correct option is B as it manges the VMs

The correct answer is B

B is the answers you can autoscale based on CPU Usage. D is wrong as it suggests that the triggering is time of day

Answer C

The correct answer is B. This option is the most efficient way to scale your application based on CPU usage, because it uses Google Cloud's built-in autoscaling capabilities. Autoscaling allows you to specify a minimum and maximum number of instances, and Google Cloud will automatically add or remove instances as needed to maintain your desired CPU utilization. Options A, C, and D are not as efficient, because they require more manual intervention to scale your application. Here are the steps to create a managed instance group with autoscaling configured: 1. Create an instance template. 2. Create a managed instance group from the instance template. 3. Configure autoscaling for the managed instance group. Once you have configured autoscaling, the managed instance group will automatically add or remove instances as needed to maintain your desired CPU utilization.

It sounds appropriate.

B, is the right answer because, in b you can use the vm's directly and it will be autoconfigured

B is correct

B correct answer.

The correct answer is Option B. Creating an instance template and using it in a managed instance group with autoscaling configured will allow you to automatically scale the application based on underlying infrastructure CPU usage and will be operationally efficient and completed quickly. Option A is incorrect because it involves using Kubernetes, which is not required in this scenario. Option C is incorrect because it involves scaling based on the time of day, which is not specified as a requirement. Option D involves using third-party tools and is not necessary for this scenario.

B, as MIG with autoscaling is best choice

correct is B

automatic scale

B, managed instance group (VM instances) with autoscaling
