Exam Professional Cloud Architect topic 1 question 81 discussion

Disabling and then discontinuing allows you to see the effects of not using the APIs, so you can gauge (check) alternatives. So that leaves B and D as viable answers. The question says only some are not time-critical which implies others are... this means preemptible VMs are good because they will secure a spot for scaling when needed. So I'm also going to choose B.

They say that some (not all) of the Batch workloads are not time critical which implies that there are time critical Batch workloads for which Preemptible VMs are not appropriate, so going with D as the answer

. Provision standard VMs to the same region to reduce cost. Disable and then discontinue use of all GCP services and APIs that are not HIPAA-compliant. you can't use all premeptible, because only some are not time senstive, rest are time critical.. cash... D. keyword google best practice... if you have any time senstive u have to have some standard VMI.

I will go for B.

The answer is A. Though some workloads are critical, the question is really asking about saving costs on the non-critical workloads. it's already understood that some workloads will incur a cost. So 'how' do we save in general?? Use preemptible VMs.

Answer is B

D is the correct answer and for the following regions: 1. Deploying a read replica and then manually failing over by stopping the current cloud SQL instance will only impact the authentication layer, which is what we're looking to test. 2. Stopping all VM's won't have an impact on the authentication layer testing becasuse Cloud SQL is a PaaS service, you cannot just turn off the VM's

What is the difference between A and B other than adding the obvious that you'd disable them if you discontinue using them. This is the most obnoxiously confusing question I've ever read and someone else pointed out that *some* are not time critical which implies others are time critical.

If the question would have said: "The batch are not time-critical", then Option B with preentible VMs. BUT, it clearly points that only SOME are not time-critical". Option D is the only one that satisfies all conditions

D As per the requirement, some of the batches are not time critical - which means some are critical. Choosing preemptible VMs may mean time critical batches may be affected. Cost effective solutions should not come at cost of requirements. Disabling and then discontinuing allows you to see the effects of not using the APIs, so you can gauge (check) alternatives.

When it is "some" batches are non-critical - when we want to focus on price reduction and if it is batch apps, then we can definitely choose "Pre-emptible VMs". Also non-compliant APIs needs to be disabled for sure (APIs can be enabled if there is a need). Putting altogether, B is the right answer

I think the answer should be D. some of the batches are not time critical which means some are. Choosing premtible VMs may mean time critical batches may be affected in some cases. Even though the solution needs to be cost effective, it should not come at cost of requirements. Hence D

B looks good to me

To design a GCP solution that meets Google's best practices for operating nationally with multiple batch workloads, including some that are not time-critical, and using HIPAA-compliant services while managing service costs, you should provision standard VMs in the same region to reduce cost, and use GCP services that are HIPAA-compliant as needed. Therefore, the correct option is C. Preemptible VMs can provide cost savings, but they are not recommended for workloads that are not time-critical, as they may be interrupted at any time. Provisioning standard VMs in the same region will provide better performance and stability, and can still be cost-effective by using features such as sustained-use discounts and committed use discounts.

B is ok

Assumption here is that cost is more important that the time critical batches, therefore use preemptible instances. Disable and discontinue is a better option as it gives you opportunity to see the impact before blasting any APIs or services that are not certified.

ans is B - HAHAHA
